Favorite hotel in San Diego
This is our favorite place to stay in San Diego. The staff is super friendly, the facilities are clean, annd I noticed it smells really nice all throughout the hotel. The rom was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel is far away enough from the city to not deal with traffic but still only a 15min or so drive to wherever you want to go. There’s plenty of food options right down the street. It really is a great place to stay!

Our room was nice and parking was great with good access from the Freeway. However the website is extremely misleading as it definitely implies that there is a bar at the hotel and that there are food options, whereas this was offsite , extremely noisy and wasn’t at all in keeping with the standard of the hotel.
