I stay here every time I’m in San Diego and it never disappoints. Two good restaurants on the property. The place is not fancy, but it is very clean. My only complaint is they have very limited places to plug-in phones tablets or computers. They do have good Wi-Fi.

THis hotel could not have been more convenient (visiting USD student). The room was a bit dated (we were on the 2nd floor). Bathroom small/cramped. Beds could be more comfortable. Everything seemed very clean (although whatever they use to clean the room leaves a funky smell). Don't understand why they charge for parking (they have ample parking, should be included w/ hotel rate IMO). The waffles were to die for! The price was very reasonable for the hotel and breakfast

I was very disappointed with the room. It felt like I was put into a closet. There was no way to look out but at a hill. I couldn’t even wash my face in the sink because the sink was the size of a cereal bowl. I don’t think I will ever stay at this place again.
