Great experience

It was convenient, comfortable and clean. I had the best sleep Ive had in a while. I was a little worried that my daughter wouldnt be comfortable sleeping on the futon but she daid it was great. The whole process was easy, i was even able to add another day without any hassle. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area.

The property is near everything. Perfect for families and for visiting San Diego. Located next to the trolly which takes you all over San Diego. Right across the street from Costco and several restaurants. The rooms are clean. The only complaint I would have is the water pressure being low. No one likes it being difficult to wash soap off your body. Besides that, no issues. Staff is nice and accommodating.
