Our room felt like home. The hotel was close to Sea World and had lots of restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly. Our room was tidied up daily and was restocked with fresh towels. Breakfast was well stocked and had good variety. We stayed at several hotels during our vacation and this was our favorite. Would stay here again if we come back to San Diego.

We were surprised as to how clean it was and breakfast was delicious. My only complain was it was sometimes loud because it’s right by the freeway.

This property was well maintained and the rooms were fresh and comfortable. The staff were friendly and did a great job keeping the property clean and inviting. We really enjoyed the free breakfast...great select each day and plenty to go around considering how busy the dinning area became.
