Great location at the edge of historical Old Town, 5 minutes walk from Transit Centre for trams, buses etc. An ideal base for a short sightseeing stay. Peaceful spacious room. Helpful staff

A window that opened a bit more would be great, but minor issue. TV and clock instructions for overseas guests would be helpful- but reception may have, I didn't ask. Otherwise a great couple of nights.

Good location for old town San Diego local for the trolley service that takes you down to the harbour Santa Fe. Many Mexican restaurants near by. No supermarkets close by.

Very noisy at night people returning back late, doors slamming, talking and lingering outside of rooms. strong smell of marijuana lingered outside. A very small limited breakfast with a waffle maker that takes far too long. A lot of homeless hang around the bus/trolley station be cautious of this

It was nearby public transportation.the room is big and clean.

AC didn't work. There is not enough electricity points. It's quite dark, the window is basically into the corridor. You hear everyone who walks by. The TV has one channel, half of the time 700 club is on. The location is ok for public transportation. However its pretty boring area. Nothing to do at night, also during the day it's ok...

We booked the hotel as it was close to San Diego airport. The room was spacious with a comfy bed. It was around 7 minutes' walk to a fabulous range of cafes and restaurants, plus all the attractions of Old Town. It's around 12 minutes' walk to the Old Town Transit Center with Green and Blue Trolleys taking you to Little Italy, Downtown etc plus all the bus services. It's a great base for exploring San Diego. We visited the USS Midway using the Trolley & it was a superb visit. Highly recommended.

That we only stayed one night!

The location was within walking distance of several restaurants.

The hotel charges $15 per day to park in their garage and although it looks like updates had been done in the rooms, the floors were peeling or damaged in several areas. The beds were very comfortable but you can easily get tangled up in the sheets at night as they donโ€™t use fitted bottom sheets and they come untucked. The water had a foul smell so make sure you bring your own water and drinks.

The location was right across from the MCRD where we needed to be. The staff was always helpful. It was somewhat reasonably priced.

Almost every room we walked past was vacant, yet the double queen room with a sofa wasn't available.

It was right near the Marine base for my sons graduation

Every night I was there, there was yelling and fighting and slamming doors. Got woke up a few times by how hard doors were slammed and shouting.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, and the waffles at breakfast were delicious, and the location is excellentโ€”very close to the old town.

There was a slight unpleasant smell inside, and parking is available for an additional fee. The breakfast was fairly limited compared to expectations.
