Great location close to Shelter Island, Point Loma, Airport, not far to downtown & Old Town. Good value for budget hotel, decent breakfast. Pool looks nice but not heated so not very usable in the offseason.

This was the most hospitable hotel that I have been to. I came back with the girlies super late. I was so sleepy and the lady at the counter was so nice. They were so accommodating. I forgot a few things and they reminded me. Overall that lady was like my mom. Thank you for this wonderful stay!
