“This downtown location makes a lot of San Diego easily walkable, though the terrain can be a bit uneven. I noticed the breakfast gets crowded, but the staff keeps it clean and well-stocked with individually wrapped items, plus to-go containers. The pool is on the smaller side, but having tables and chairs nearby is a definite plus for families.”
