Good affordable location near SDSU. Off a main artery so traffic was constant. Rain prevented use of the pool ( which looked very clean & well kept). Staff was wonderful. Towels were fluffy & plentiful. Good bed, clean room, very good shower with good pressure . Wished there was a door on the shower room. Wi-Fi & tv worked well.

When looking on Google Maps, the area looks kind of weird, but when I got there, it was great. Very safe, I never felt like I was in danger at all, especially as a female staying alone. Everything was walkable and if not, it was just a 5-15 min Uber drive away. Perfect location, and I have every intention of staying here again the next time I'm in town!

We stayed in one of the larger suites due to an extended six day stay. Great location near all the sites we were interested in. Well taken care of property, clean comfortable room and great service. The office staff was very helpful and provided a very good continental breakfast. We'll be back!
