Great Old Town hotel.
It’s a great hotel with dated rooms. The location is the best for visiting the old town areas of San Diego. We walked everywhere and felt safe. The hotel staff are very good. We plan to stay there again. The parking lot is limited to cars lower than 5’8”. All others including ours, park on the streets wherever you can find a spot. Sometimes the old town visitors take up all the street parking and you park some distance from the hotel. Plan your days well and you should be fine.

Great walkable access to Old Town State Park and other historical offerings including Mormon Battalion Tour which was free and extremely well-executed. Also walking distance to plenty of shopping and dining. Hotel suites, elevator, hallways and property features could benefit from some upgrade but nice breakfast and pleasant stay overall.

Could have given 5 stars if the hotel can provide free secure parking. Now it’s free street parking vs $30 basement parking. Pool has some debris. Overall good rating.

I traveled to San Diego with my whole family (12 of us) and had a great time. The hotel is close to everything, is very walkable with great food & shopping nearby. The staff was very helpul and friendly. The hotel is clean with great amenities and safe. We'll definitely stay here again.

It’s located near Old Town, which is easily walkable from the hotel. The hotel’s “look” fits with the surrounding area and all in all it was a great stay and location. If we go back to San Diego, I’ll stay closer to the water and downtown area, but this worked for our family and it was easily drivable to locations we wanted to see.

Property/rooms were a little rundown. Staff was nice. Outdoor area seemed nice. Location was good. Glad there was street parking- an extra $30 daily for parking is ridiculous but seems to be the norm in the area.

Close to airport but so so.
Close to airport was a plus. Staff was friendly. Hotel was quite old and needs an update. Bathroom had black stains on the floor of the tub and black flakes came out of the bathtub faucet after a minute or so. Breakfast was ok though. Beds were ok.
