We stayed at this hotel because it is near the San Diego Zoo. The hotel is nice and clean. Rooms were spacious. The best part of staying at this hotel is the really good breakfast buffet they have daily. Also, they have a coffee and hot chocolate machine you can access anytime. Unfortunately, the pool was under construction when we were there. Overall, I would highly recommend!

It’s a straightforward stay. The front desk aren’t rude but they aren’t friendly neither, they won’t go out of their way to make your stay feel above and beyond. For example, we checked out at 5:40am. Other hotels would allow you to a quick to-go breakfast since we were living so early, 20 minutes before breakfast opened up, but not here. The pool is a good size and is actually heated, which was really nice. The room was clean and housekeeping starts bright and early as I had someone come by at 8:00am. I’ve never had that happened.
