Pros:

I enjoyed the breakfast. It was on time and hot. More bacon please. Plenty of space to eat. The 24/7 coffee WITH creamer was the best!!!

Cons:

Shower water could have been a tad bit hotter.

Pros:

We weren't there most of our stay, but it was clean,quite, and didn't smell funny like most hotels in the areA.

Cons:

The parking. The spaces are too close and there isnt anyone making sure people park straight. Our stay came with parking and the 5x we had to find a spot it took a while.

Also the homeless people up in the bushes were loud all night.

Great place to stay, next time stay on the top floor.
Pros:

The property was clean and well maintained. It was close to walk to the convention center.

Cons:

We stayed on the 2nd floor and we could hear the people above us walking around and a few different times it sounded like they (kids) were running around or jumping on the bed. Loud steps and loud thumps from very early into the evening.

Location is great! The staff, lobby, lounge area with TVs, and free breakfast do not disappoint.
Pros:

Location is central, so if you are going to beach, mall, or SDSU, they're all nearby! The lobby, lounge area with TVs, and free breakfast do not disappoint.

Cons:

the location is set back from another place that gets a lot of traffic and people hanging out. parking is not secure and costs extra.

Pros:

Confusing entry from the route we came in to the property. There was two driveways and difficult to differentiate which road to take.
