Although it wasn’t a 5 star hotel, it served its purpose for my time in San Diego. The staff was very kind and the area wasn’t too bad

The rooms are very nice. The A/C is a bit noisy, but the room is clean and beautiful. We asked for a floor level with no stairs and our car is right outside our door. Check in was a breeze. We went to a concert to see Fortunate Sun Tribute Band and it was great.
