We weren't sure whether to go with this hotel (better location/view) or the Holiday Inn near Old Town (cheaper and with free breakfast) for a short stay in San Diego. We chose this one because of its proximity to Seaport Village. We were very happy with our choice. We requested a room facing the bay, and we got a 4th floor room with a balcony that was face to face with the cruise ship at the terminal. I didn't notice any street or train noise in particular, but since we had an early day, we took a nap in the afternoon. In 30 minutes, we were awakened several times by the various sounds that come from sea-going vessels - horns, whistles, bells, and even something that sounded like a cannon firing (I assume that came from the Maritime Museum). If you're not napping in the day though, it's fine.
The facade of the hotel is not as new and shiny as the hotels at Seaport Village, but inside the lobby is modern, and the rooms are clean and updated. There is a free shuttle to/from the airport and I think there's a shuttle to the zoo as well. I would definitely stay here again.
