We spent 3 nights here after a conference in downtown San Diego. We switched to Country Inn and Suites because the price was excellent and it is not very far from downtown. The breakfast was great and I loved the fire place with an area to sit, relax and visit.
Room accomodations were very nice without the high price! « less

We spent 2 nights while watching 2 grandsons play in a water polo tournament that took place at 5 venues the hotel was centrally located and convenient to all. The breakfast was included and had very good selections. The staff was excellent and were extremely tolerant of all the young water polo players conversing in the lobby gathering hall. The room was spacious and reasonably priced. A very good experience. « less
