Courteous, Comfortable and Conveniently located

The hotel is very favorably located for visitors to San Diego Safari Park. There are a lot of dining options within a few minutes driving distance and the hotel is conveniently located right next to the 15 freeway. Costco gas station is also less than 4 minutes away

Mother’s Day weekend

Upon entering my room there was a big stain on the carpet. Looked like grease or gum. Coffee maker had leftover water from whoever used last. Breakfast in the morning was a really good surprise. Overall I was happy with this hotel
