We had a wonderful stay. Ended up arriving early and they let us check in. The room had a very good AC and comfortable beds so we had the best sleep while in hot San Diego weather. The staff are so friendly and were very accommodating and quick to action when we needed anything. The rooms do get some noise from the road but they provide ear plugs so it wasn’t an issue.

This room was really nice, the restroom was a bit small, but the staff was super friendly. There’s no central ac, but it does get super cold at night with the ac unit in the room. Even though we got a room with highway noise for the view, we hardly heard any noise. The windows were incredible for that. The bed was the best part of this room and the tv had streaming services. Overall, the stay was perfect for where we needed to go as it was literally close to everything we needed to visit.
