Stayed here for 4 nights and it was great! The hotel is near from everything fun. The staffs are nice and the room that i got was fixed cleaned so often. I just hope that there’s complimentary breakfast included with the stay. I would likely recommend this place.

Best kept secret in hotel circle. Reasonable price for a clean hotel room and free parking?!?! On site restaurant for a good diner style breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Older place with kitschy charm. This is my new go to hotel in San Diego. If you want fancy, this is not it - but if you want a less expensive, hassle free place to sleep, this is the place.

Overall, I would have to say that the hotel has done a good job of making a "mid-20th century" hotel livable in a 21st century world. However, I was DEEPLY disappointed upon check-in because my wife can NOT do stairs and our room was on the second floor of a hotel with NO ELEVATOR. We had reserved a room with a king bed through Hotels.com and were NOT NOTIFIED that there was no elevator. We had to settle for two queen beds, which leaves less room for moving around. Also, there was NO MICROWAVE oven in the room either. The hotel website says "microwave on request" so I asked at check-in and was told it would cost me another $5 per day. Now, I know that $5 is not a lot of money, but just another irritation. There IS a microwave in the laundry room several doors down from our room--not very convenient for re-heating leftovers from lunch. Picture attached from the laundry room We enjoyed desserts at the Amigo Spot restaurant (take-out), fried ice cream and dessert chimichangas. The bed had a very noisy spring whenever I sat on the side to crawl in. Not nice for my wife in the middle of the night. There were plenty of outlets and USB ports BUT, they were mostly on a network of extension cords and power strips. Probably not a fire hazard, but a little disconcerting. I found it interesting that they wanted to charge me $5/night for a microwave, but there was a personal safe in the closet. If not for the initial disappointment and the queen bed substitution, I would have given a much higher score. The A/C did a nice job of cooling, but didn't provide much heat in the morning. Fortunately, it was not too cold at nights. Next time, I will pay a little extra for a better hotel, but mainly, I would just say, expect to climb some stairs.…

Enjoyed my overnight visit. Hotel manager Sandra was very friendly and accommodating. The decor of the hotel was beautiful. As a war veteran, I appreciated the branch of service flags flying out front! I will definitely stay here again next time I’m visit San Diego. Always nice to know a great place to recommend to friends and family, and your hotel will be my recommendation!
