Great value!

The service here was fantastic. They have a free shuttle to the airport and Old Town from which you can take public transportation anywhere you want to go. The breakfast was great, lots to choose from. The minimarket came in clutch for late night snacks. Practically across the street is Las Brasas, the best Mexican food we had in SD. The only downside was that although the bed and pillows were soft, the bed sank down into a weird incline, making our feet higher than our heads, not very comfy.
