I liked this place. Newly renovated, clean as a whistle. Spacious. Great location although parking is tight. Floors are a bit thin so you hear the people above you if they wear concrete shoes like the kids above us. Big refrigerator in the room and a great shower. Comfortable bed. Recommended

Light emits from smart devices
Only stayed one night. Checked in late and left early the next day. So I don't have much to say other than it was all good and I'd stay there again. Rooms are very clean, like other reviewers have said. There are a few smart devices in the room they emit light while sleeping, so if you prefer to sleep in a completely dark room, bring your eyeshades for sleeping.

It is close to the Birdrock commercial area where we tried the highly regarded Wayfarer Bread, the Bird Rock Coffee Roaster shop, and an Italian restaurant. It was a quick drive to Harry’s for breakfast in La Jolla and discovered they have a parking lot behind the restaurant. Parking at the hotel was plentiful and at no cost, such a plus in San Diego. The hotel was quiet, though quite full.

It was a Decent stay. I wouldn't say this is a hotel. This is definitely a motel. But if you must have parking this is good spot. Close to the city and airport.
