"You really can’t beat the location here. It’s great if your plan is to be out exploring San Diego rather than spending time in a hotel room. The property itself is simple and provides the basics, but it is clean and well-kept. Everything is within walking distance - restaurants, shops and best yet is the beach is literally a block away. Would definitely stay here again for the convenience alone."
