The property is near everything. Perfect for families and for visiting San Diego. Located next to the trolly which takes you all over San Diego. Right across the street from Costco and several restaurants. The rooms are clean. The only complaint I would have is the water pressure being low. No one likes it being difficult to wash soap off your body. Besides that, no issues. Staff is nice and accommodating.
