It is conveniently located close to downtown San Diego so you don't have to spend a lot of money on the downtown hotels. Just hop on the major freeways and get to your destinations.

San Diego CC stay

Hotel was clean and quiet. Excellent front desk staff were polite and professional. Came for Comic Con and although we came in late sometimes, there was always someone at the front desk and their little store with drinks/chips, small toiletries was still open. Parking was good and trolley station was 5-8 min walk. A few restaurants were nearby and a market. Morning breakfast was good and easy to grab and go fruit, coffee available as well. Would definitely come back for a San Diego getaway!

We stayed for a quick three night summer vacay. The price point is good for the level of hotel you are getting. The room was generally in good order though there was a damp carpet smell while we were there. I don't blame the staff for this, but likely an issue in all the rooms due to the moist air. Everything else was fine-- no bugs, water pressure was good, hot water came quickly and you can crack open the window slightly. The breakfast is typical HIE, but they did alternate some of the hot items each day so that was a plus. We didn't use the pool or hot tub, but they looked clean from a distance. The best thing is that the area is quiet at night. The hotel is far off nearby I-5, which is great. There is the occasional rumbling of a loud car, motorcycle or truck going by, but really not bad at all. If quiet and a good night's sleep is important to you or your family, I'd highly suggest this location! Request a room on the backside of the hotel-- you'll thank yourself for that :)

Great, comfortable stay, good breakfast. Neighborhood not so nice but conveniently off freeway. Only down side the AC would be very cold on and really warm off, just an Older system I think. But the rest looked new and updated.

Great place.

We loved it. Very quite place to stay. Also something was left behind in our room and we didn’t realize it until we got home. Housekeeping found it and turned it in. We did appreciate it. Friendly staff. Good breakfast too. Every time we go to San Diego this is where we stay always.
