We loved having the airport shuttle. They shuttled our family to and from the MCRD for both family day and graduation. The hotel offers shuttle to a few restaurants. The rooms were so clean and the beds are really comfy. The staff are always helpful and so friendly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would definitely come back again.

The property is located right by I-5 and all the two-bed rooms are overlooking it. They tried to accommodate us as far away from it as possible but the noise was still unbearable unless you keep the windows closed of course. The parking downstairs is probably no more than 30 feet away from I-5 with no noise barrier. The noise there is horrendous, and they charge a parking fee for it.
