Excellent location, free shuttle bus to and from airport, friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and great value for money. I recommend staying in this hotel if visiting San Diego area. There is also shuttle bus to the convention center, and there is good transit option close by to the hotel for access to anywhere in the city.

I stayed here because of a work meeting across the street. The location was perfect for our group. The hotel is nice, clean and safe. The staff was amazing and that alone would be worth staying there again. They offer a free breakfast in the morning and there was plenty of space to sit and eat. I was able to... More

Stayed here April 1, 2013 prior to setting out on our RCI cruise through the Panama Canal. It was a great location, as we were able to walk to the terminal. Arrived early enough to check our bags, get our Sea Pass, and then visit the area. Highly recommend this hotel!

We had read about the train noise and we were pleasantly surprised at the change thanks to the Train/San Diego grouping together to find a solution to this problem. No Train Whistles!!!!
