Pros

Pet-friendly accommodations allow travelers to bring their animals

Walking distance to multiple dining options including Carl's Jr, McDonald's, and Chick-fil-A

Express checkout service streamlines departure

Free continental breakfast includes multiple beverage choices

Cons

28 miles distance from San Diego International Airport

Some attractions require driving, with Legoland approximately 25 minutes away

“For budget-conscious travelers and families, the hotel has an accessible location with ample parking, and the advantages of a pet-friendly policy and a refreshing outdoor pool are appreciable; I think its location is perfect for visits to Legoland and the San Diego Zoo. I noted concerns about cleanliness and dated rooms, along with a limited breakfast; it seems some modernization could greatly enhance the stay here.”
