Room was very clean. Staff were friendly. Felt safe in the hotel but the doors were locked and security guard was present. Surrounding neighbourhood was not very safe feeling. Dogs barking all night long was not restful. Breakfast room was super crowded but breakfast was decent. Close to Sea World.

After spending a long day at SeaWorld, we checked into the hotel. I was very tired and exhausted and the process was so fast and simple and the clerks were so nice and sympathetic for my tiredness. Our room was beautiful and the temperature was perfect. It was very refreshing large and clean. Hot free breakfast in the morning is always a plus at any hotel. The breakfast hours were from 6 to 10 AM which is a little bit longer than normal and I appreciated it because my kids were hard to wake up! I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and I plan on staying there again on any business I do in San Diego. The location was perfect less than 2 miles from Seaworld less than 5 miles from the beach. Lots of food options around the area as well.
