This hotel does NOT match the photos online. It is in sad shape and desperately needs upgrading. Something used in our room gave myself and my son headaches so we had to sleep with the window open. Lightbulbs were out, hair in the bathroom (ceiling???) peeling paint, outlet not screwed into wall, trash under furniture. Will not be coming back.

One night in San Diego

The check in was friendly and quick. Parking was easy. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was clean and very comfortable. We had a good nights sleep. Came to San Diego for my nieces wedding - we didn’t really take advantage of the hotel’s amenities but we saw there was plenty of them. Next time we come down, this hotel will be the first on our list.
