Our son is now a Marine and we have stayed at this hotel a couple times now. It is a wonderful place to stay and in a great location. Easy to walk everywhere and close to great food choices. First choice to stay when traveling to San Diego.

We stayed in this hotel for few nights in March while visiting San Diego area.

The hotel is well located close to city, airport and beaches. The roads around it are quite busy and driving requires frequent u-turns. There are number of restaurants in the area, some within walking distance. The room was very quiet and the bed comfortable. Wi-fi and TV worked properly and so did the plumbing.

Breakfast was a typical motel style (cereal, boiled eggs, waffles, pastries, bagels). Just outside there was an outdoor pool but the weather was too cold to use it.

Personnel was not very enthusiastic, but OK.

Overall a good stay and we would come back.

Needs maintenance & better breakfast but worth the price for the location. Personnel is great... no lie.
Shopping literally across the street and restaurants and coffee around the block. We walked to at least 4 area restaurants or grocers and there's a Walgreens on the corner. And we never waited more than 4 minutes for an Uber when needed.
