The hotel appears to be an ex motel, with some modernisation on the outskirts of the city. We found the room very spacious, car parking available, & a generous breakfast offered. The staff were very good & friendly/helpful. Easy quick check in & good location for downtown, waterfront, Little Italy, Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter & Padres Baseball Stadium. We did not need the aircon, but there was a heater as part of it!

Quiet hotel, lots of beautiful flowers, gas town and balboa park within a nice walking distance (we like walking)..unfortunately a bit sketchy to walk at night. Great hosts, breakfast line up and long waits for refills on eggs, coffee etc, but seemed to be fully booked and all had good humour.
