Convenient location

The hotel’s breakfast was average. The gym barely had any equipment , but the pool was alright and the beds were good. I was able to rest even though the windows/hotel are right next to a highway; you can hear the noise. The hotel offers ear plugs if you need them though. The overnight parking fee was pretty expensive too.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were all very friendly. The breakfast was really good and we liked the choices! My three kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It was conveniently located off the freeway, which made it easy for getting around. We will definitely be staying here next time we come to San Diego.
