It was nice they charge me $20.00 extra for parking I bought from a third party but for the price they ask not worth it pillows not comfy. Breakfast was decent.. We got it cause was close to sea world.

We had a great stay to go to a baseball game in San Diego. It was an easy check in with Art. A very nice welcoming man. A perk at the hotel is parking and EV Charging station. Breakfast was great for a simple bagel, coffee, eggs, sausage and fruit type of deal. They also shuttle you to old town, which is about half a mile away.

I had to book a last minute hotel stay here because my first hotel I booked was in an unsafe area and had no parking available. So i canceled my stay there. When I go to this hotel I was early and exhausted. I needed to vent everything that I had gone through with my first hotel and the staff that checked me in were extremely nice. They let me check in early, waved the underground parking fee, and upgraded my room for free. I wound definitely stay here again next time I am down in that area.

This was a great location. Walking distance to Old Town where there are plenty of restaurants, shops and things to do. It's also a perfect spot to catch the HopOn/HopOff Trolley to see San Diego. The Free Shuttle bus to and from the airport was super convenient. The free breakfast was better than expected. Overall we had a great stay. It was a great home base to start and end each day.

Location is convenient. Close to airport, Old Town, Sea World, etc. Daily breakfast was good with a decent variety including pancakes, omelets, bagels and more! My son loved picking a little toy from the treasure chest in the lobby. Rooms were clean and although we were right next to the freeway, we could barely hear it. Pool was small, but clean. Would’ve loved a jacuzzi. Building and parking is secure and seemed safe. The only downfall would be paying for parking. Other than that, I would recommend to others and stay there again.
