We drove to San Diego from MT for our son’s graduation from Marine Corps bootcamp. Our stay was comfortable and worth every penny. We all spent time in the heated pool to relax before retiring for the evening.

This property is well located. close enough to Old Town you can walk but there is a shutttle from the hotel as well. Rooms are basic but clean and beds were comfortable. The only downside is being on the side with the freeway, as it’s pretty loud. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed our one night stay.

We enjoyed a 2 night stay at this hotel near the airport .. the room was comfortable and the breakfast was satisfying. There's a convenient shop near the front desk for many food and health items.. the free shuttle ride to the airport was great! Art helped with our questions and was very accommodating.

the cost was a lot more than we were originally quoted. We reserved 2 rooms with 2 queen size beds, but were given 1 king size bed and a foldout couch.
However the shuttle service was EXCELLENT.
