Close to the highway, but the staff was accomodating

The staff was friendly and the rooms clean, though small. Microwave and fridge were helpful. Breakfasts were always plentiful. I would go back again. A good bargain.

Hidden mall from the highway. You need to learn how to get from interstate to side roads.

Worst Experience Ever

I stay in 75 to 100 similarly priced hotel rooms each year, this was by far the worst experience that I have had. There were gaps in the door that let all of the freeway noise in and left security a question in the back of your mind. Additionally, there were holes in the bedspread, mold in the shower, and there was not even a glass for a drink of water. Given the conditions, it was a sleepless night. The "breakfast" also had room for improvement as it had no hot items. I would recommend staying anyplace else while traveling in San Diego.

For a few business days

Really I used the hotel only for sleep. The rooms are comfortable and spacius. The only problem was the local web for internet.
