I liked the location of the property. It was an easy walk to restaurants and Petco Park. The rug and lamp shade were stained in my room. Unfortunately there was a leak in the lobby ceiling on one of the days we stayed making the elevator unusable and we had to walk up the stairs to our room on the 5th floor.
