Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Friendly staff, quiet clean rooms, beautiful location in old town. Just 5-10 min walk from historical museums, walking trails, cafes, restaurants, and the tram station. Whether you want to travel south to the border or up north to the Safari park this is the place to stay especially if you don't plan on driving. We had an unexpected change in flights, and without hesitation, they went out of their way to juggle things around to ensure we could be accommodated despite it being SDCC weekend, one of the busiest weekends of summer. Amazing experience, and hope to be back soon.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, parking was great for the additional $15 a night, and the staff was wonderful. The amenities were lacking however. There were no tissues in the room, no wrapped bar of soap, and no hair conditioner in the shower. The hand soap, shampoo, and body wash were in box-like dispensers. WiFi was not very strong but the AC was good. There is no pool or gym, and the Continental breakfast was bare bones. However, the price was right, and we were in walking distance of Old Town and the trolley. It suited us.

Rooms have Feng Shui vibes. Bright, cheery modern. The staff is the nicest, most helpful. Lobby has 99.9% of the incidentals you may have left at home. The 1-star less is just because if no box of tissues or laundry bag in the room, and breakfast was missing a protein. Generosity and service greatly appreciated.
