“What this inn lacks in polish, it attempts to make up for in practicality. A complimentary breakfast and pet-friendly policies stand out, catering to budget-conscious travelers who don't want to leave their furry friends behind. Its location offers a quieter base for exploring the wider San Diego area, though a car is essential.”
