Loved staying here. Just a heads up, the parking on the street is free. But I would recommend parking in their garage if you don't want the occasional transient hanging out by your car.

The included breakfast was great and much appreciated. The parking situation isn’t the greatest. I couldn’t get my Challenger into the garage because of the severe break over angle at the entrance so I was forced to park on the street. Otherwise, my stay was very pleasant.

Our stay was okay we only spent one night. Check out is at 12:00pm. We were having trouble with our luggage and at 12:02 someone knocked we said one minute and then within 2 second front desk called. It’s was literally only 2 min after checkout.

Perfect location to walk to old town. Pool was closed but we were able to use a sister property's pool which was a little inconvenient but we did go and use it. Property very pretty and breakfast was ok.

Stayed this weekend here and one thing I didn’t like was after being in our room for a while we started getting a pee smell. I called the front desk to see if they could come up and change the sheets, and they offered to put us in another room but we just thought it wasn’t necessary sense just one pillow smelled a little like pee. They came right away to change everything. Other than that, I thought it was a rather cute and pretty safe place. Friendly and welcoming staff. Also pretty close to pretty much everything nice SD had to offer. Close to various beaches and downtown SD. I would stay here again.

What a beautiful place! Parking was a little bit of an issue but we are from a small town so we just aren’t used to that. The staff was so kind!! The breakfast was wonderful! And when we needed help finding something, they didn’t hesitate to help us. They knew we were leaving early before breakfast came out and they did everything they could to make sure we had SOMETHING by offering a bowl of cereal or fruit or anything. Nice comfortable rooms as well. Would definitely recommend this facility!!

We loved our stay at the hotel! The front staff was amazing. She even helped us map out where we would go for dinner etc. The evening was lovely and the hot tub was warm and bubbly! The breakfast was better than expected with all we could have wanted. We will stay there again at the end of our trip and think of them again if we are ever in San Diego.

The location of the property was centrally located. Easy to get to. Hotel staff at check-in needs to have some training on what “customer service” is. Parking was not included, it was $30. A night to park in their parking garage. The hallway that our rooms were in smelled like urine.
