My family stayed at this hotel twice--once in 2001 for nearly four months after a flood in our home and once in 2013 for two weeks after we sold our house to move. Both times, our stay was pleasant and enjoyable. The best part of this hotel is the staff. They were super friendly in 2001, basically treating us and... More

Rooms are big and clean and love having a full kitchen. Service was great as were the free breakfasts and the free cookies at the front desk. Close to downtown San Diego and easy on and off freeway access.
