    Excellent

    It was my first trip to San Diego to see my boyfriend that was stationed at Camp Pendleton. They have free shuttle service from the airport which was great. I got there early in the morning and check in was not until 4. The guy at the desk was nice enough to upgrade my room to the business wing so that I did not have to wait for so many hours. The hotels location is also close to all the local attractions. Overall its a pretty good hotel for its price. I recommend getting a room in the sunset wing. I loved my stay there and am looking forward to my next trip :)

    Sarah's Bday San Diego Zoo!

    From the minute we checked in we had very quick, efficient service and found the rooms to be amazingly spotless with fantastic housekeeping service daily and just overall a great experience. The use of a computer in the lobby for e-mail, internet, and airport check-in was a very nice addition! Checkout was very fast and efficient. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

    Great Deal Including Shuttle Service

    Easy access off of the freeway and the shuttle service to the zoo made it very convenient. There was also a small refrigerator in our room as well as a small coffee maker.

    Family Vacation

    Was a very clean hotel with everything we needed for our vacation. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the location couldn't be beat, we were 5-10 min from Sea World, the Zoo, Old Town, downtown, Little Italy and with 20 min of Coronado and La Jolla; everything a traveler would go to see. Had a couple requests I emailed prior to traveling and emails were answered with an hour. The crib we requested was in-room when we arrived, room always clean when we got back, we were never disturbed when we were in our room. The pool had real "beach" towels, so no need to pack your own. I wouldn't ask the front desk for dining suggestions though :) they tried, though! Overall, would stay here again, a great deal for the stay!

    Great Mexican restaurants in Old Town; I will be craving the homemade tortillas for a long time! Also, you can bring your own food into the Zoo, Sea World and the Wild Animal Park, for $10 we got a good (and healthier!) lunch rather than $10 per person, even for kids, to get a hot dog and soda! Plus, when's the last time you got to picnic in an Asian jungle! :)

    Really good family getaway!!

    [...] was so helpful and resourceful. He checked us in early which was great because we had driven in from Los Angeles and were very tired. He also knew the location of a certain fast food place I wanted to go to. And, when I checked out via the phone, he remembered me and was very courteous.

    After reading the great reviews about this hotel, I went for it. Considering the great price, I loved this place. Had everything we needed. Kids ate free at the hotel restaurant every day! Beautifully landscaped, nice heated pool. It was great, would do it again.
