Pros:

I like the location

Cons:

I didn’t like that when we checked in I had made reservations for 2 rooms. After they gave me the keys only one room was ready. The other room wasnt cleaned so we had to wait another hour for them to clean it. Also the next morning as we were getting ready the power went out in our room. They didn’t have many options for their breakfast. Only waffles, fruit and yogurt. When we asked if they had any bagels or bread available the staff said no,

Pros:

Confortável, limpo, bom custo benefício, staff proativa em ajudar. Não recomendo expectativas com o café da manhã porque é basicamente um waffle que você mesmo faz, café e leite e cereal.

Cons:

Café da manhã extremamente básico.

Lovely stay in a convenient location in San Diego
Pros:

The staff was very friendly & helpful. Very comfortable beds and convenient location for beach, public transportation, shops & restaurants. Very cleanly maintained property. Small buffet area with waffles & cereals which was tasty

Cons:

Rooms are a small bit outdated but for the price it really didn’t matter. When walking to old town station which is about 15 min by foot, there was a good amount of homeless people around, by no fault of the property ofcourse and it’s awful to see but did feel a small bit unsafe walking around at night

It’s a decent budget hotel for a work trip. If you’re in town for a conference like me, choose this.
Pros:

It was in a great central location
Free parking was so much more convenient than other properties’ paid parking
Across the street from some great shops
The microwave and mini fridge were really convenient

Cons:

Hard to get the bathtub to stop leaking
Some people were smoking in the parking lot even when security told them not to
Breakfast selection was somewhat limited
