Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Loved how close to the airport it was! Perfect place if flying in late night and needing a place for a night of rest before exploring San Diego. Property was kind of run down but staff were nice and parking was ample and free!
Parking spots are TIGHT all spaces sat compact car but everyone had compact SUV also breakfast was great but it wasn't enough seating. Some patrons were occupying tables being on phones an computers or just chatting with each other so i had too take the kids breakfast to go
Older hotel but excellent breakfast and VERY CLEAN!!! they were shampooing carpets while we stayed there. The staff was always washing bedding and the room service was top notch. I’d stay again.
Parking was difficult with a van in the covered parking due to all the poles. They did have extra parking outside though so that worked out. Pool was small, not enough seating in the pool area. Not enough breakfast area seating. A crib that we didn’t ask for was randomly placed in our room.
Breakfast itself was good. Staff was nice. Location very convenient to go to SeaWorld or get on the highway.
