Pros:

Close to everything we wanted to do

Cons:

The first room we were issued was ok but after getting showered and ready to relax an watch TV the TV didn’t work.Called the front desk and they sent maintenance up to try to fix the problem very nice guy he tried different things like changing out the box nothing was working. So we had to move to a different room. Mind you we had to get dressed ,pack all our clothes again move to a new room at 8:30pm .
I felt I was inconvenience and called the ft desk to see if she could maybe cancel our parking fees .She responded by telling me , we didn’t make you stay in that room but she would reimburse 1 night parking. I was ok with that but never seen a reimbursement.

All is covered in the first part
Pros:

I love the location! It was near everything San Diego has to offer. However there were a few bugs in the room that freaked the kids out and we made sure to wash everything when we returned home. The staff when I first arrived was not kind of rude but the staff the next day was great. Not sure if we would stay here again and the price was a little steep considering our experience.

Cons:

Bugs, price, different experience with different staff

Would not recommend going.
Pros:

Breakfast was free and served everyday.

Cons:

Breakfast was the same thing everyday. They didn’t have coffee lids in dining nor by the reception desk. The beds were not comfortable, had to ask for more blankets for layers. The sofa mattress, we could literally feel the springs. The pillows were lumpy and hard. Room and bathroom was not cleaned well. Had to ask multiple times for blankets and pillows, service was slow.

Great location and value; I would stay again.
Pros:

Location and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was included and was consistently great!

Cons:

You could smell other folks smoking through the bathroom vents (had to leave the fan on at night to avoid the smell) and could hear other guests through the walls. It is an older structure, so I don’t think either of those things could be helped.
