I've been to many a hotel in the San Diego area over the past 20 years, always searching for a nice, clean, safe, and above all, quiet place to call home for 4 nights while going to the madness of Comic Con. This place was practically perfect in every way! It's a short distance from the downtown San Diego area, near the best kept secret of a freeway...a merciful short hop without traffic! The place looks newly painted, and the doors seem to be either new or resealed, because the noise was non-existent, and they felt very secure. The grounds are well-maintained --something my husband appreciated, since he has no time to keep our lawns trimmed and pretty! The room was clean and the luxury of having 3 sets of towels (a big plus for us long-haired people) was something I've not seen even in the high-rise hoity toity hotels of Los Angeles for a long time! I noticed kids playing in the swimming pool, which seemed to me to be a lovely thing for families, although I did not take advantage of that ammenity. What I really enjoyed was the quiet. Remember, I said that there were kids and families...well, I've been to hotels where the kids run amuck stommping up and down the halls, and this hotel was NOT one of those!! It was quiet! After brutal days of slogging through thousands of people, what a pleasure to come home to a quiet and restful place! If I have to "downgrade" at all, I would say that the breakfast area was incredibly small. It is uncomfortable to have more than a couple of families at any one time in that area, so I hope that eventually they will consider expanding. Of course, I could have gotten a tray and taken my breakfast back to the room, which is what some did, but I like the idea of having my breakfast away from the room. Overall, this was an excellent choice, one that I hope to repeat!
