Great Place for a family. Everything was relatively clean & nice.
Everything was great about our stay except the sofa bed had trash and the mattress was stained. Maintenance came to check it out and tried finding an extra mattress to switch it out but they were unable to. The property ended up making some price changes due to the inconvenience. The room was nice and great for the days we needed it. Complimentary breakfast was offered and the location was fantastic!
Second time coming back and look forward to every other time in the future! Love this place and the staff!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The bed was comfortable and clean, and the bathroom was adequate. The room included a small kitchen with a large refrigerator, which was convenient, but unlike many other hotels, no complimentary bottled water was provided. Breakfast was very basic and only served from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m., which I nearly missed since I was on vacation rather than a business trip. I booked the room through Expedia and wasn’t aware that the hotel charges for parking. Fortunately, we only stayed one night. Overall, I would rate this stay three stars and would likely choose a different hotel on my next visit to San Diego.
Very clean, friendly front office staff, comfortable bed and great kitchen. Highway can be a bit noisy at times but not terrible. Would definitely stay again.

Check in guy was pleasant and informative.
Convenient location
Room was efficiently laid out. Housekeeping was every 6 days was fine with our family—will take that for the very economical rates.
Staff were friendly and the breakfast was always fully stocked.
We enjoyed the atmosphere , the room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and was changed up daily which was delicious and appetizing.
Our room was spacious, well stocked and having an ice maker in the refrigerator was a bonus. The separate seating area was great as well as having a tv there, as well as one in the bedroom.
Loved the space that the two bedroom suite provided. Breakfast was a little disappointing. Had a leak from our exterior window and we’re not offered a new room. They just put towels down. Overall we had a good stay and would likely return because the location and space were great for us.
