Great for quick family stay

We were there on a family trip for the in San Diego, and really liked the hotel. Kind of small but very clean, especially being right off the freeway. Very friendly and very close to a lot of quick eats and retail stores, in case we forgot something. Overall very nice stay

Property felt safe and was very clean. The only issue I had was the elevator and walkway to our room felt stuffy and hot, and the room had a mildew-like smell to it. Other than that it was a safe and clean option to stay overnight. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The staff treated us with such warmth and care, making us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. It’s rare to find this kind of personal attention, and it made all the difference for us. They anticipated all our needs, especially because we traveled with an elderly person, and made sure we had everything to feel cared for and at ease. We also really appreciated the variety at breakfast and that it was included, and the jacuzzi was a wonderful extra that we truly enjoyed. A special thanks to Mark, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. We’re deeply grateful and would gladly return.
