My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious with a full small kitchen equipped with everything I needed. The service was exceptional, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location was great, close to San Diego State University and convenient to attractions throughout San Diego. The dining options were good, with a nice variety for breakfast. However, there was an issue with a certain staff member being rude and making inappropriate remarks, which was a downside.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and equipped with a good size TV, microwave, and small fridge, but there was a high-pitched squeal from the toilet after flushing. The kitchenettes were a nice touch, although the rooms were noisy and drafty near the bed.
