“Great hotel in a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed here on our visit to San Diego and I am glad we did. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. They also had free parking which is not the case in surrounding hotels. I would stay here again if I came to San Diego.

“Mixed Bag”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

This hotel is a mixed bag. The room was an OK size and clean and had a comfortable bed, but the room backed up to a highway and there was a little car noise (but we could sleep through it). The hotel is fairly close to the airport and has a free shuttle but there are numerous comparably-priced hotels closer... More

“Good hotel stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

It's very convenient to Old Town which you can go by hotel shuttle or a short walk through safe roads. The hotel is clean and quiet even though it is right next to a highway. The breakfast is wonderful and the staff is very helpful.

“Pre-Cruise Stay in San Diego Old Town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

I enjoy sailing from San Diego and have always stayed in the downtown area within walking distance of the pier. A huge medical convention was in town at the time I needed a room, and the only rooms I could find were in the $300-$400 range, and that was only because I’m a Hilton Honors Diamond Member. Other cruisers couldn’t... More

“Great for families of Marines, not so much others”

We chose to stay at this property because of its proximity to the Marine station where we would be attending our son's graduation from boot camp. If you're just there to spend as much time with your son as possible, and don't care too much about where you stay, then this is a great place to go. We were greeted... More
