    "It's not a trendy hotel, but it's clean and the service is really good." source Hotels.com

    "Tourist attractions, shops and restaurents were close by, as was the Old Town Trolley a very neat way to get around San Diego." source Travelocity

    "Not having stayed at this location in my many trips of 30 years to San Diego I have found the location for future visits based on several things: Close to all attractions; inexpensive; clean; friendly staff; all rooms non-smoking; would encourage others to stay there." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "However, you better be in the mood for mexican food because that is what a majority of the restraunts in the area are." source Hotels.com

    "We were located on the third floor, the french doors opened to a small balcony that over looked a lovely fountain." source Travelocity

    "Ashtrays in the courtyard encourage smokers to smoke in front of your room." source Hotels.com

    "the rooms were fine." source Expedia
