I liked the hotel and the area, however , I didn’t feel safe going through the dark tunnel to the Old San Diego area. There were what seemed to be mentally challenged people and some homeless people there. Also, I turned around when some young teens were acting up . I was alone sonI decided to go back and stay in my room instead of venture out .
