Nice place, good location, friendly staff.
Pros:

The people were very nice and helpful when we had a question. The location is great when you want to visit all the main attractions in San Diego.

Cons:

The breakfast was over priced for the standard hotel fare. There are other choices but at the same cost. There are better choices in the area so we didn't eat at the hotel.
