Great stay!
Overall, we had a great stay. The property is clean and comfortable and has been updated. The beds are comfortable. There are several food options close by and a Costco across the street. We were in town for parents’ weekend at SDSU and the hotel was close to campus. I wish they had cleaned our room at least once during our stay - I’m sure they would have if we had asked. Hotel staff very helpful. Breakfast was great - lots of options.
