Would stay here again!!
Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The entire hotel was spotless clean. Our room even smelled good walking in. Dove products in the bathroom was a very nice touch. The free parking garage was very convenient and I appreciated that they had security every night for it. My favorite part of the hotel was that there was a 24/7 coffee machine in the lobby. So convenient!! There were also many restaurants within walking distance. Great price for everything that you get!

Cons:

The TV would constantly glitch no matter what channel we were on. There were a lot of homeless people around the area.

Ein sauberes und gut gelegenes Hotel für San Diego, das trotz kleiner Abstriche beim Pool einen angenehmen Aufenthalt bi
Pros:

Gute Lage für Ausflüge in San Diego, besonders in der Nähe von SeaWorld. Die Zimmer waren gepflegt, sauber und die Betten bequem. Das Frühstück war solide und bot einen guten Start in den Tag.

Cons:

Der Preis war für das Gesamtangebot etwas gehoben. Zudem fällt der Poolbereich recht klein aus.
