Clean, helpful and accommodating staff, good food, close to everything.
Pros:

The staff was wonderful, they let us check in at 11 AM instead of the 3 PM check-in time. Our room was clean all the amenities we needed. The breakfast was fantastic and it was super close to everywhere we wanted to go, which was to spend time in old town, San Diego

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind

Safe, elegant, close to transportation.
Pros:

We loved how clean and unclass the facility was. We also loved that Old Town San Diego and the transit center and trolley tour were in walking distance.

Cons:

We didn’t like the pillows. They were not comfortable.

Great choice with the family!
Pros:

The property is clean and comfortable (beds/pillows are just okay-ish). The front desk staff is professional. The couple of ladies working breakfast every morning are always smiling and helpful. The housekeeping staff was pleasant and attentive. There is plenty of outdoor space in the center of the complex; a firepit and lighting turned on every evening, tables outside to enjoy breakfast or just be outside. The pool is clean and well kept. It's 3.5 ft all around so great for my kids, but wasn't overly busy. Very walkable. Old Town is a great way to spend the evening or a day. Restaurants, bars, shops, museum, live music.

Cons:

The beds and pillows aren't anything special.
