Really over priced, that's basically be of where it located, the bed boards at the bottom were dirty, wore carpet, they just really need to do remodeling recleaning I didn't partake in breakfast so I can't tell you about that. Overall, it's a great location.

Great location in San Diego. Surprised at being charged an additional $25 Destination Fee and overnight parking at $65. Neither TV's in room would work and tried calling Front Desk but got no answer. Went to front desk and they said when the rooms are cleaned the housekeepers do something to the TV's and you have to press 8 on the remote to reset them. Thought this should be mentioned to all new check ins to avoid the hassle.

Room was ok, initially the AC was broken but they fixed it reasonable. The Hidden Fees $25 a night and $65 a night parking fee. I thought the room was a good value at first but when you add the additional fees I could have booked a much nicer room at a different location.
