clean, good value and fabulous staff
Rooms pretty basic (1960's hotel) but functional and great value for the price ( US $70 odd per night in April 2012). Beds were comfy - we stayed in #211.The pool area was very nice and there was a spa that was nice and large. Plenty of eating options either at the hotel or nearby - Old Town a 20 minute walk away and worth a visit with a number of free museums etc but watch the traffic on the way as you must walk on the road edge for 100 metres or so. Fashion valley shops also a short walk (footpath all the way). Sea World a circa $15-$20 taxi ride as is SD airport. Staff extremely friendly and very helpful at this place. eg they happily made a couple of calls for us to arrange our shuttle to LAX.
