Just right.
For what it’s worth, I think it was perfect. Cozy room that served its purpose while I spent the weekend in San Diego.

I would say if I actually stayed there. Turns out this hotel overbooks guests only to not provide them with a parking spot when you arrive. Mind you I arrived at 6 pm to check in. Somehow they implemented a “first come first serve” parking so I was shh out of luck when I showed up. The clerk in the front (she was nice) provided a parking down the street where you can park for a fabulous price of $40 per 12 hour max. Aint that nice 😅
Stop overbooking if you can’t provide parking!!!!

get there by 3
Arrived after spending the whole day at Sea World to come to find out that I wasn't able to stay because their parking lot was "first come first serve" even though i was parked in a spot and that my reservation meant nothing.

Would not recommend this location
The room was not as pictured. It was filthy, run down, and just not in good condition at all. There were bugs on the ceiling, and the tv looked like someone tried to open it? Just really poor. I actually left the same night I checked in and stayed somewhere else. I tried asking for a refund even just for the 2nd night of which end I was already checked out for and got nothing.

The property outside perimeter was a haven for the homeless and drug addicts. The room was not to minium hotel standard for the price paid. The bathroom door lock was broken. Towels were dengy and the staff were unresponsive to our needs for cleaning the room and replacing items like towels unless requested. It's not worth the price we paid for an equavancy of a rental flop house. Do not stay there...Expedia remove it from your suggested listings..Save your representation, that I now question. Do better.
