California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Least expensive room I could find in this San Diego area. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Microwave and fridge provided. No breakfast. Did provide coffee. Pool but didn't use it. AC and Internet provided. At checkin I was given a second floor room but complained I would have to lug my suitcase up all those stairs. She very graciously looked for a first story room for me and got me one. Happy."
