I’m a big fan of the friendly staff that greets me every time I check in. This stay was based on business that I had in San Diego. I specifically chose this hotel because it feels like home away from home. The rooms are clean, smells good, and I love the extra blanket. My room was close to the pool and parking lot but I heard nothing. They have breakfast and dinner. Both convenient and delicious.

Initially got this place because it said there’s a bar but it was closed during my stay. Also there’s no elevators soooo had to use stairs a lot. I did like I could buy some drinks/snacks in the middle of the night. It was a bad place to stay… overall ok:)
