This property really was a good location. Only complaint was the shower and toilet. Shower and toliey had low water pressure. Outside of that, this is a great central location with easy access to the beaches and shopping. Staff were friendly.

Good hotel in hotel circle area at a great price.

Weather was perfect out so we went to the pool. Had to take our towels from the bathroom because all the pool towels were used up....We think.. We did see a towel being used by people that had a brown strip on it and there were some in the return bins. This was around 3pm and a lot of people were checking in and waiting to use the pool. The room was cool... The bed was a little too hard for our liking though. We would defiantly stay here again if the pricing stays similar which was very reasonable.

This is a basic hotel/motel that is clean and comfortable. It is not fancy, but has just enough bells and whistles to make for an enjoyable stay. The pool and hot tub are an added bonus, and the two on-site restaurants are decent. We will be staying here again on our next trip to San Diego.
