Great location close to a fabulous little outdoor restaurant around the corner and its own elegant one inside with just a block or so away from the main strip shopping core. In walking distance to the San Diego Contemporary Art Gallery and perfect distance for a stroll down to the shore. Waffles and coffee delicious and good quality. Comfortable...

The staff were absolutely lovely. Rooms were spacious, walking distance to restaurants and supermarket, breakfast was good and kids loved the complimentary cookies each day and they were delicious. Also the cold water at reception was very much appreciated too. Also the fact we could do some washing on site was great.
