Overall guests find the rooms to be comfortable and clean, inclusions such as breakfast and Wi-Fi to be beneficial, and the service to be pleasant.

Convenient for border crossing
Many reviewers chose this hotel for its proximity to the Mexico border. Some were catching flights from the airport just over the border, while others were visiting Tijuana or traveling onward. All found this hotel to be an excellent choice to help make their journey across the border as efficient as possible. Some even paid to leave their car at the hotel rather than pay for airport parking.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Old rooms in need of remodel
Some guests were dissatisfied with their room at this hotel, saying the furnishings are old and dingy, and in some cases that the standard of cleanliness is not high enough. A few guests who encountered such issues say they reported to reception and were immediately moved to a different room, which they were very pleased with.
negative:
On the city outskirts
Potential guests should note that this hotel is not in the center of San Diego, but is on the outskirts to the south near the Mexican border. Most did not find the location to be a problem, but those looking for a hotel should be aware in case they prefer something more central. Due to its situation, the hotel is also quite isolated so is not an ideal choice for those wanting to be able to explore on foot.
negative:
Breakfast gets busy
The hotel is apparently quite popular and therefore gets busy at breakfast time. Many reviewers recommend arriving nice and early, almost when the breakfast room first opens, to ensure the most pleasant dining experience.
