Property was close to train station and little Italy . It was also an easy walk to the Petco stadium. It only took us 30 minutes to walk there . Very close to water front 5 minutes walk . Would stay here again . Some of the streets did smell like urine especially by the train station as a few homeless were around there but you were never bothered by them .

Everything was excellent with the area the service. And even with complimentary coffee and special coffee’s like Mocha and Latte. The pool and hot top was nice too and open late which it’s a big plus. The one thing I didn’t like was the shampoo, conditioner & body were not good at all. We had to buy our own cuz neither was with using. That will be my only issue they would need to improve.
