The staff were all very very friendly and helpful! The housekeepers did an amazing job keeping the facilities clean and organized. Only complaint is the rude parents that allowed their kids to run around all over the place at all hours of the night. But other than that the staff and facility was very nice and had plenty of options for dinner and lunch within walking distance

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
