"The room was very clean, bed & pillows were so comfortable. The front desk staff was helpful & I was quickly supplied with extra coffee & cups for my room. The view from balcony was magnificent. Onsite restaurant had fantastic breakfast. This was my second time staying here & next time I’m in San Diego I will definitely be booking a stay here again"
