Excellent Weekend Get Away !!!

The hotel is centrally located. Everything you need is within walking distance. The staff is helpful and friendly. The rooms are nicely adorned and the beds are very comfortable and make for a good nights sleep. It is not a fancy hotel, but it is a good value. I will definitely stay there again.

America's Finest City Half Marathon

Location in downtown was good and close to Balboa Park (Zoo, Museums etc) and harbor. The Freeways are within half mile. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was very big comfortable. The carpet is stained and very old looking. The hotel offers free breakfast. The hotel only has weekday restaurant with happy hour. The free breakfast for is a travel cost saver. Little Italy is only a couple blocks walk and has several restaurants especially Italy restaurants. I recommend this hotel.

Good value for the money

This is a clean and comfortable hotel for the money. It's located 3-4 blocks from the trolley. You can park your car, if you've brought one, and take the trolley throughout the city. The cost (as of this posting) was $5 a day per person for an all-day pass. The staff was very courteous and helpful. We chose not to eat at the restaurant associated with the hotel (only because we have our favorite places), so we can't comment on the resturant. The hotel is located in your "typical" downtown neighborhood in any large city--meaning you'll see all types of people (tourists, families, business people as well as homeless individuals). We took the trolley to Petco Park, the Gaslamp District and to the Fashion Valley Mall (a very nice place to shop). My husband and I have stayed at many upscale Marriott, Westin and Sheraton hotels on business. However, for our personal travel, this is a nice hotel for the money. I don't believe it has a fitness or business center, but does offer free wi-fi, although it seemed a little slow when used with our iPad. We'd stay here again.

Check out the Gaslamp District. Lots of restaurants, bars, etc. It's a short ride on the trolley.

An Okay Stay

When looking at the pictures online I was expecting a little bit more than we got. We got lucky with a bay side view, but for paying more than $150 for one night, I would have much rather paid an extra $50 for something within walking distance to the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, and Horton Plaza.

Good SD hotel in convenient location

It's a decent hotel in San Diego. Parking is $10 per night which isn't bad for other cities. We came during a weekend so you can also park on the street for free on some days (make sure you check the street cleaning schedule). Unfortunately only one elevator was working during our stay but it wasn't that bad of a wait. The complimentary breakfast is okay - we decided to check out Hash House instead. The amenities were good (TV is a bit old) and the beds were comfortable. The front desk and housekeeping staff were nice and friendly. Overall, I recommend staying here if you're on a budget.
