Stunning location to everything in San Diego. Beautiful modern excellent architecture and huge space for the price. Only drawback is locating to freeway and loud plane noise. However, this can easily be overlooked for the other great reasons.

7/10 Good! (1,036 reviews)
Sea lions bark all day and night and it has a weird smell outside. Lots of traffic both cars and people. Our view was a public bathroom. Lots of noise from trash trucks and delivery trucks. Room was old with hard beds. Staff was great but our room was $1700 for 3 nights. Not worth the money. Won’t be back
