Great value!

The service here was fantastic. They have a free shuttle to the airport and Old Town from which you can take public transportation anywhere you want to go. The breakfast was great, lots to choose from. The minimarket came in clutch for late night snacks. Practically across the street is Las Brasas, the best Mexican food we had in SD. The only downside was that although the bed and pillows were soft, the bed sank down into a weird incline, making our feet higher than our heads, not very comfy.

Shuttle driver was very nice and front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Jetted tub room looked the same as photos. Only downside was that there was no heat in the bathroom and the week that I stayed was very cold and raining. Room was spacious and housekeeping staff was nice. Location was near freeways and other cities.

Fantastic staff, check-in and out, breakfast, room (cleanliness, beauty, space) and self-parking. The room ventilation was miraculous. First hotel we’ve stayed EVER where the ac didn’t sound like a jet taking off every time it kicked on—it was absolutely silent and kept the temperature constant throughout the night. Art at the desk was amazing! Expert, efficient and friendly. Exuded pride of ownership in everything he did. He was at the desk when we checked in at 8:00pm and he was still there/there again at 8:00 am!! The breakfast was amazing. The staff was on top of keeping everything available, fresh, hot and the serving area clean. Only drawbacks were the noise (abutting freeway and, just our luck to be surrounded by constantly slamming doors and coughing people), cleanliness of breakfast tables/floor, and self closing bathroom door. Wonderful overnight get stay!!
