Location is great. About 8-12 min drive yo places like La Jolla, Old Town, Little Italy, SD zoo. Double bed rooms are a bit compact, but we didn’t mind considering we spent most of our time exploring.
I wanted to stay near Mission Beach without actually being down in the thick of it. I found this online and the price was right and it was within walking distance of De Anza Cove. Had a good central location, easy off and on the freeways. Close to Seaworld and old town.
Friendly housekeeping and breakfast staff. Breakfast is average and pool is tiny. Air coming from the AC unit smelled bad so the room had a bad odor the entire time. Overall clean and comfortable place to stay.

Honestly, this hotel was not clean at all. Our bathtub was dirty, the towels were worn out, the elevator had a dirty carpet in it. Don’t stay here

Very nice gym equipment!
Good choices for breakfast!
All was fine. Room was smaller than we thought. Service was helpful when we needed anything. We are not high needs so we were just there to sleep.

Room was very small and the "pool" is the size of a hot tub, very disappointing as we booked so our kids could play in a pool. Breakfast was decent but that was about all that was good about this hotel.
The room was fine, The towels were very small to dry off. The TV guide did not show stations and what was on.
Staff was friendly and overall I would recommend.
I loved how welcoming the staff is and very helpful, because I lost my keys and they helped me look in their breakfast room.The room was very clean and my sheets very fresh and look like new.The pillows very soft and and hot breakfast with variety of food items.Great location closer to the freeway and comfortable bed.The location is very central with restaurans at a walking distance.All the room appliances( Air conditioner/heater,fridge/microwave ,coffeemaker)working properly. I will definitely come back to this hotel, because it has been one of my favorites in this price range.
The location of this hotel is prime. It is next to major freeways and Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. We were able to enjoy good restaurants close by. There is plenty of hotel parking and the breakfast was pretty good. You get what you pay for. One down side is if you are staying on the far side of the hotel, there are no entrances, only exits. The only entrances are in the middle of the building or closer to the office. Otherwise, we loved how convenient this hotel was.

I like that my room had a microwave and fridge. I didn’t use the microwave, but I did use the fridge. I liked their breakfast; sausage and eggs were good, but the potatoes were undercooked.
The bathroom door was hard to close. The bathroom fan was not working.
But overall, I liked the room.
