This was a last-minute booking for us, as the hotel is one of two close to our daughter's home and the original accommodations for our visit fell through. What a great find! The room was quite satisfactory, clean, well- maintained, convenient, and reasonably priced (considering the cost of hotels in the San Diego area). Staff were helpful, pleasant, and patient. We would stay again by choice should the opportunity arise.

The staff were friendly. Check in was a breeze and the continental breakfast was good - waffle iron, eggs, sausage, a variety of pastries and bagels, yogurt and cereal. A staff person was always at breakfast - refilling as necessary which was great. The pool is small but centrally located and the kids loved it. However, the property was a bit run down. The pillows and bedding had stains on them. The room smelled like steamed broccoli. We found two nickel sized live spiders in our room and a bat was outside the laundry room for 2 nights.
