Parking in the garage was not available, we parked in the additional parking area. The area did seem less safe than the garage but we parked there without incident. Very easy to get back and forth from Sea World. Close to the highway. Breakfast was a bit busy and the area was congested. I was satisfied with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there in the future.

The TV kept going out which was a bummer. The pool area was small. Breakfast and staff were great. The location of the hotel was convenient. It was nice to have parking included but the spaces are pretty tight. The staff at breakfast were amazing and on top of everything. We would stay here again.

Loved how close to the airport it was! Perfect place if flying in late night and needing a place for a night of rest before exploring San Diego. Property was kind of run down but staff were nice and parking was ample and free!
