Good trip, pluses and minuses
We chose this location based on those darn reviews! I also read the other site Yelp. Our daughter wanted to see Comic Con for the first time and we had never visited San Diego before. My husband was stationed here during his time in the Navy and we also visited the USS Midway. I must say the weather in San Diego was great! The downtown area was bustling with lots of visitors and nearly everywhere was booked up! This place appears to be renovated. Staff was energetic and lively. About 10 minutes walk from a huge center with a grocery store. 
The only reason I give it a 3 star instead of higher is the price and what we got. Our room was definitely smaller for what we paid compared to other places we have stayed at. We are noise sensitive. Despite what they say, you CAN hear the airplanes taking off and the train that comes by at night???
