Great but there is a Resort fee and a parking fee which totals $89 not clearly mentioned and they should show you on paper when you get there so it’s clear

9/10 Wonderful! (1,057 reviews)
We loved that it is so close to the beach and many restaurants, shops, and activities around. However, there were so many noises at night at the room including with the ceiling (we thought it was the AC) which made it so hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, and woke us up very morning and the maintenance crew very early morning as well. There were big spiders all throughout the room. The cleaning service was good every day and staff was very friendly. I also think more remodeling should be done (especially to reduce the noises). We loved our stay, but we don’t think we will stay here next time. Thanks!

Aug 25, 2019Definitely near to SDSU, just have to cross the highway and it's about 7 min drive, but other than how clean the rooms were, the hotel is run down and needs some sprucing up.
