Excellent choice across the street from Old Town action of San Diego!!
My daughter and I stayed here Apr. 15 to 19. We were so pleased with how close it was to the trolley and the old town. The management was top notch and everything was so clean. The self-serve breakfast was good. My daughter had the restaurant breakfast one day and said it was also good. I was also able to print out boarding passes with a nice, upscale computer.
Use the trolley - we went all over the place on it for $5 each per day. We went down to the Mexican border on it as well as taking bus #30 to LaJolla and Imperial Beach for the day.
The cost of a cab to this hotel from the airport was $18 in rush hour - just be careful you are being dropped at the correct terminal on your way back because we made the mistake of saying Delta and yet we were on a commuter flight of Delta's, so we needed to walk quite a distance to get to the proper terminal.
I would not change a thing the next time I visit San Diego. Please stay at the Padre Trail Inn.
