The hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of downtown San Diego, surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants. A nearby bus provides easy access to the airport. The property is well-maintained and offers pleasant amenities, including a pool table and arcade machines. However, one drawback is also its location—it’s right in the lively party area, which can lead to noise at night. If you’re sensitive to noise, you might want to consider an alternative hotel.

Everything was broken...everything was broken...the room smelled terrible...I emailed the hotel during my stay, but they completely ignored me and didn't reply! So arrogant and unprofessional, they shouldn't do business with us!
