I have stayed here five times now when visiting my daughter at SDSU. Fabulous stays. The staff is thoughtful and helpful always. Rooms are clean and the breakfast is very well prepared, with healthy options and, once again, the hotel staff in charge of the breakfast always asks if there's anything they can get for us.

I liked the location, friendly staff and breakfast buffet. Dislikes were the noise at night as I was near a main entrance/exit. I was also on the ground floor facing the parking lot and the late check-in people hit their remote door locks at all hours with the car horns beeping at 2, 3 ,4 am. Makes it hard to sleep. But not completely the fault of the hotel.
