Quiet, enjoyable location

check-in and check-out were done quickly and with a friendly staff. Staff that cleaned rooms did an EXCELLENT job. Location was chosen because of distance to San Diego Zoo. Easy to get to zoo and back to Hotel.

Perfectly adequate but nothing special..

We had a perfectly adequate experience here. Had the room been cheaper I would have rated the value better but at $85 it wasn't very cheap for such basic accommodations in an area that is very far away from downtown San Diego. Overall it was clean, the best were above average for a cheap place (with tons of pillows) and I have no complaints.

Very pleased...

I booked this hotel because the reviews were good, and I was not disappointed. I was really pleased with how clean the rooms were, and the staff at the front desk was helpful and friendly. I would stay there again. The location was OK. I probably wouldn't go out for a walk, but it worked well because we attended a concert at the Viejas Arena, and this hotel was just about 3/4 mile from there.

Great if you are attending a concert or event at the Viejas Arena - SDSU. It's only about 3/4 mile away.
