All that you look for in a hotel and top service
This hotel is as good as it gets. They have great service across the board from the front desk to the shuttle people. All are friendly and actively helpful. On top of this they are gifted with a great location for the pier from which our cruise left. One of the most problem free hotels we'd ever been at in this mix of hotel and pier. They also shuttle you to local area restaurants that are great. And we were able to keep our vehicle there for the time we were on our cruise until we got back. Perfect.

Unexpectedly great service!
We were so very pleasantly surprised at the service we received. Elia, the driver who picked us up at the airport, offered to take us to dinner and pick us up, bc there was no restaurant close by. We felt this was above & beyond normal service. They couldn’t have been nicer!

First time stying here for a 2 day 1 night trip. We went to Seaworld, only 8 minutes away from the hotel. Then at night we went over for some dinner in Little Italy, also 8 minutes away. Great location! Everything is close by. The hotel was very clean and in great condition. They have a complimentary breakfast bar in the morning! Great way to start the day. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to another San Diego trip.

I flew into San Diago from London and as a female traveler, I needed a safe, accessible, good value for money hotel that provided shuttle service. This hotel did not disappoint. The facilities are excellent and the staff courteous and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms clean. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for international travelers.

I woke up because I could not breathe easily due to the smell of smoke at 3 am. Even though the room was a non-smoking area, the whole hallway, and the room were full of cigarette-smoking smell. Other than that the room itself was clean amenity were good. Their complimentary breakfast was also great.
