מלון מומלץ לשהיה של כמה לילות בסאן דייגו
Pros:

חדרים גדולים ומרווחים היינו 3. חניה פרטית במקום תמורת 30 דולר ליום. אבל אין ברירה בכל המלונות שהיינו במערב שילמנו על חניה במלון בהיבט הנוחות שלנו והשקט הנפשי.
אבל יש מקרר בחדר כך שאפשר לקנות לחם גבינות וירקות מהסופר ולאכול בכיף ארוחת בקר בחדר. .מה שכן בלובי היתה מכונה מצויינת להכנת קפה תה ושוקו וכן מתקן מים קרים וחמים אז אפשר היה למלא את הבקבוקים כל בקר.יש בריכה וגקוזי אבל המים בבריכה היו קרים. מיקום 10 דקות נסיעה מפארק בלבואה וגן החיות.צמוד לרובע האיטלקי ויש שם מלא מסעדות טובות לאכול בערב. בגדול לכל האטרקציות כמו כלבי הים ומןזיאון נושאת המטוסים המידויי הנסיעה היתה גג 10-20 דקות. וגם 15 דקות נסיעה לשדה התעופה להחזיר את הרכב ולטוס משם מניו יורק הרבה יותר קל ונגיש מאשר מלוס אנגלס .

Cons:

חבל שלא היתה ארוחת בקר.
