Beautiful property and perfect location! We were here for Six nights visiting our Navy son. It was close to him and also close to all the great San Diego attractions. The room was really nice and beds were very comfortable. I’m picky about hotels and really enjoyed this one! It also has a restaurant next door, really good food and service. Everything you need is right here!
