Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Diego North, CA

10/10 Excellent
"I traveled with my family, check in was a breeze and good natured staff greeted us nicely, provided hot water for our teas after the complimentary coffee had just run out at the entrance. Breakfast had great options for everyone and the seasoned potatoes were the best! Ambience was nice outdoors. On message from hotel was told parking would be $10 but at arrival was told it was $20, but it was a holiday, and understandable."
