The hotel is nice overall. The cleaning staff did a great job. The rooms are modern. The overall staff is very good. The location is good except there is a large homeless population. They did not bother us, but it is definitely there...right outside of the hotel. Your heart just goes out to them, but it is a little scary at night. This is not a hotel problem, but a problem of the world.

this hotel is great. Our parents stayed here and highly recommended it to us so we came to check it out so we could be centrally located to go to several of the sites in excursions in San Diego. We really enjoyed the central location and the amenities that this nice hotel had thank you.
