Convenient Location
The hotel stepped back in time to the '60s in it's setting, however the room was comfortable, clean and updated. The staff was friendly and efficient. Only one recommendation, in room coffee and coffee shop coffee "needs improvement". This was a repeat visit as parents of a USD student.

Clean and charming
I was pleasantly surprised. This place was charming, family friendly and such a great atmosphere. This is the first time in a long time I’ve been someplace where the service has been this great. The people who work at this place are so very nice that I can’t help but think the management must treat them well. And most importantly, the room was clean. They have the hardest job if you ask me. And the place was decorated for Halloween. The decorations around the hotel were adorable and original.

The room was ok not like past stays. There was hair on the shower wall and when they came to clean looked like they only removed but did not clean. No coffee replaced. Key would not work for access to pool/spa area. Food in waffle spot use to be amazing and now bacon not cooked very good and mini waffles doey inside. Coffee was bitter. Not allowing me to post pictures.

Unexpected stay for a night
The hotel is along the highway but u cant hear a noice once the doors are closed. The hotel itself shows its age but it was still well kept and clean. Location is very accessible even without a car as the bus stop is right outside of the hotel entrance. Very near the fashion mall and the main transport service. We were upgraded and the room we had was very spacious, a lot bigger than the space we had with the other hotels of a higher rating. I will definitely stay here again once back in San Diego and will definitely recommend it to anyone.
