The room was very large, which was nice. However, the furniture was weird. An upholstered chair that was in BAD shape. The bed was so high I had to put a chair next to the bed! Also, their toiletries were not great- like a Motel 6, and the noise from the freeway was loud.

Convenient
Good location if need to do errands around Mission Valley. Spacious rooms and comfortable bed. Parking included and in front of rooms (motel style). Bathrooms start to show some wear and tear and need some maintenance.

Pool is closed … fyi
We have stayed here because the last time we visited San Diego we found this hotel and we liked it but this time around it was a bad experience we get here and we found it the pool was close, and my kids were excited for the pool they could of told us that the pool is going to be close we wouldn’t have stayed here if it was closed
