I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The staff was super helpful and gave great local tips, and the rooms were not only modern but also spotlessly clean. The location was perfect for visiting attractions like Balboa Park. I did wish there were more dining options on-site, but the nearby choices made up for it. Overall, great value for the price, especially during events like Comic-Con.
