Older property which is well maintained, excellent staff. Walls of the hotel are quite thin, you can hear your neighbors conversations-several times wakened by alarm clocks and loud voices. Good coffee and snacks readily available, pool is comfortable. Overall, good for price but expect to need Uber or Metro Train to get to SD attractions
