Definitely near to SDSU, just have to cross the highway and it's about 7 min drive, but other than how clean the rooms were, the hotel is run down and needs some sprucing up.

Was there for a concert. Parking was atrocious!! If you can park away from university and walk a bit to the venue that would be ideal
