Accused again?????

We spent one night in the hotel and was accused of smoking marijuana in the room. We told them twice to come and smell the room before they did. The evening staff was RUDE and non-professional. The morning staff that checked us in was great!! They wanted to argue on the phone when we told them to come and smell the room. When they came to "investigate" nothing was smelled. We are still waiting for an apology. We WILL not be staying there again!!

Centrally Located

Hotel was centrally located and room was clean. Busy weekend with local San Diego events so lots of guests and neighbors next door were a little noisy. Otherwise good location and nice stay.

Great Hotel

A very clean hotel with polite staff. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again. The reason my family and I selected this hotel was because it had air conditioning, it can get a little warm in San Diego. The room stayed cool without to much noise from the unit.
