Good location, helpful staff, clean. However our mattress was pretty uncomfortable as it was sunken in on the entire left side. Also asked for an additional blanket 2 nights in a row but front desk had none and housekeeping was gone. The hotel overall was pretty good.

I recently booked a room for my brother and his son while they visited San Diego to go to Legoland, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. My brother absolutely loved the room, saying it was perfect in every way. The location was ideal, and he mentioned that he couldn’t ask for a better hotel. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that made their trip even more enjoyable.

Really good location. Safe, quiet. Freeway is right there, but you can't hear it in the room. Breakfast is convenient, nothing special, but dissent. Rooms are little old, but perfectly clean. Stuff is super helpful.
