Solid and dependable...
I have consistently stayed at this hotel approximately nine times per year over the last five years. The staff is wonderful - they are friendly, helpful and anxious to take good care of you. The hotel and rooms are clean, good size and well equipped. Usually there is complimentary bottled water and a snack plate of fruit and crackers in the room. 
The included breakfast buffet is a step above what is usually seen for hotel breakfasts. It includes scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage and bacon on the hot entrees and a good selection of fruits, yogurt, bread, bagels and pastries. 
The evening happy hour while no longer free is a bargain with $1 beer and wine. Johnny the bartender is top notch - none better in my experience. 
The pool and workout rooms are adequate. 
Only complaint can be the noise from the jets at nearby Miramar Marine base can be very loud, sometimes late at night. Although it never keeps me from sleeping it could bother some people.
