Rooms are small, but the price and location are great. Room was updated. Kitchen has pots and pans but seems like you should source your own utensils. Freeway noise is there no matter where you are in building, so if you are sensitive to white noise, maybe stay somewhere else.

Liked: Communication
The location is very convenient and close to everything, which made getting around easy. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. That said, the room was quite small for the price, and the parking was expensive. Overall, it’s a decent option if location matters most, but the value may not be ideal for longer stays or travelers with a lot of luggage.

The room was clean. I had ONE noisy night and after that, silence. Cleaning crew was out every morning, so they are proactive. Front desk personnel were pleasant and helpful. Coffee shop next door and a Whole Foods less that 5 min walking... plus other 'eateries'. I'd use this place again. Only 'issue', I was never able to figure out HOW to use the coffee maker that was in the kitchen on my floor. And neither was the staff member I asked! LOL
Coffee shop next door.
Front entry way with gates open. In the evening the gates are shut, but your room key will open them.
Parking if you have a car.

We had a wonderful stay. Ended up arriving early and they let us check in. The room had a very good AC and comfortable beds so we had the best sleep while in hot San Diego weather. The staff are so friendly and were very accommodating and quick to action when we needed anything. The rooms do get some noise from the road but they provide ear plugs so it wasn’t an issue.
