The property was pleasing, the service was excellent. There was a modest leak from the tub. Caulking around the top tub to shower wall union was deteriorated. Once reported to the desk the responce was quick & additional amenities were offered to make my stay comfortable. Excellent staff service.

I have been staying here over the past 10 years when in San Diego for business or pleasure. It has always been reasonably priced and well maintained. But since about 2019 service and comfortability have been declining. From heaters that don't heat when it's cold., temperamental card locks, less than clean room. My latest stay I booked a room for two people with a king bed. We were given a handicap room which has no vanity in the bathroom, just a pedestal sink. No shelf to put toothbrush, comb etc. Only one washcloth and bath towel, no plastic cups for drinking, one cheesy paper cup for the coffee maker. I was on hold for 10 minutes trying to reach the front desk to order another set of towels. Later I was on hold with the front desk trying to get a couple of plastic cups. After being on hold then disconnected I gave up. Oh yeah, one of the night stands had some red drink that had been spilled on it and not cleaned up. Won't be staying there in the future. The ONLY good thing about the place is the nearby restaurant Crust Kitchen.
