Great place.
We loved it. Very quite place to stay. Also something was left behind in our room and we didn’t realize it until we got home. Housekeeping found it and turned it in. We did appreciate it. Friendly staff. Good breakfast too. Every time we go to San Diego this is where we stay always.

Great, comfortable stay, good breakfast. Neighborhood not so nice but conveniently off freeway. Only down side the AC would be very cold on and really warm off, just an
Older system I think. But the rest looked new and updated.
