An overall pleasant experience. Plenty of restaurant choices within walking distance. The harbor front walk across the street makes for a good walking space. Within 10 or so minutes from several of the trolley stops. The staff was super nice and helpful as well.

Picked this place because of the free parking and breakfast. They have a fantastic breakfast spread. Room was fine except the patio door didn’t close properly and I had to fight with it every night to close. Would have just left it open but the road was noisy.

Clean property, good location, pleasant staff but lagging on maintence a bit... TV connection was out from about midnight to 2 am, couldn't adjust a/c up or down or turn off, tub didn't drain, cheesy in-room coffee maker wouldn't spit out coffee just burbled and coughed. Would still stay there again.

The area and views were nice. The one think that could be better is the comfort of the mattresses. The beds are hard and not comfortable. AC needs to be serviced - even at a low temp the room had very little circulation and coolness to it.

Great location near all San Diego tourist sites

Great location near airport, close to dinning options and close to downtown San Diego, Sea World etc. Breakfast is typical (eggs, protein, waffles, cereal, toasts, yogourt, bananas etc… hotel’s overall condition could be improved. Room was clean and beds were very comfortable. Some traffic noise from morning commuters that could be disturbing for light sleepers.

I liked that it was within walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. I liked that it was easy to find on the main road and next to other hotels. For most part it was quiet. I stayed 2 nights. 1st night was good! 2nd night I kept hearing this loud sound repetitively for most of the evening until probably about 1030/1130pm that sounded like someone was moving furniture or something above our floor. So I did not sleep until late. It was also really cold in the room. Could not change the temp of AC or even turn it off.

If you want to stay at a smoking motel with cigarette butts in a cup on your balcony upon checking into your nonsmoking room, and have no possible chance of sleep between the road noise and kids running around, this is the place for you. I made several attempts prior to my stay to make sure I got a satisfactory room but there were none here if you don’t want loud road noise. I left as there wasn’t any way I was staying here. I went to where I normally stay. The staff member with long fake eyelashes acted like she was doing me a favor by checking me in - I think she needs a new profession that doesn’t involve customer service. I cannot recommend this hotel. They would not refund me either. I’m a very frequent traveler and don’t mind budget hotels for a night when needing to be close to the airport for a flight but my bayside super quiet hotel with amazing staff and much better amenities accommodated my move for an even cheaper price. Stay elsewhere. Unless you like smoke, noise and kids everywhere.
