10/10 Excellent
"Great for a family stay, nice breakfast, clean, airy, enjoyed the social buzzing happy hour. Pool was a nice touch- open from 5am so perfect for the transatlantic arrivals. Location is brilliant- very close to all the amenities- Top Gun Bar practically next door! Highly recommend."

No other garden is as natural to San Diego as this slightly secluded area. Stroll through this green space to see plant species not commonly found in other parks.
