It was my first real trip to San Diego and I couldn't afford an expensive hotel, but this place worked out great. I'll list the pros and cons below, but I first wanted to tell everyone who goes here that there are TWO parking levels. I stayed at this hotel for four nights and the first two nights, I didn't realize there was an underground parking lot. Obviously I wasn't the only one because the ground level parking lot was always packed at night, while the other one was usually empty.
Pros: Within 5-6 miles of most places you want to be including restaurants (really close to an In-n-Out), shopping, at least 3 beaches, and the Gaslamp downtown area. Free wifi Internet. Comfy new beds (I love the pillows!). Decent, clean rooms. Polite employees. And probably the BEST free continental breakfast I've ever had at a hotel (eggs, sausage, toast, yogurt, etc.)
Cons: The pool was dirty. The fitness room smelled really bad (it had that old musty smell) and consisted of a few old workout machines that hadn't seemed to be updated in a decade. Only one elevator, and was pretty slow.
But overall, for the price I paid ($49 a night on Priceline), I would definitely stay here again. If you're on a budget and you don't need special amenities like a pool and fitness room, then this is the perfect place in San Diego to stay at.
