I needed a convenient, basic overnight stay in SD to move our daughter into San Diego State University. The old school, mid-century SoCal vibes of this place, appealed to me. It was good value for the location. It was spacious, clean, easy to find and get in and out of. Near a ton of shopping, restaurants, etc. Not a very walkable location, but you're a close drive or lyft/uber ride to anything, the universities, downtown, the beach, the malls, etc.
