A good place that was close to the Viejas Arena

A bit packed if you'll planning to travel with a group of 4 people, but it's expected if you share a room. We chose to stay here the same weekend to see Ghost play in San Diego! It was serviceable, although we did have to bring our own shampoo and body wash for a more comfortable shower. The only real complaint was that the vending machine needs some maintenance. The numbered items are mixed up, and we tried getting some Oreos but the machine did not allow us to make the purchase. Other than that, this place was alright in my book.
