“The residential setting near San Diego State University is a genuine plus, lending a quiet charm often absent from hotels in busier areas. I especially appreciate the extended-stay suites equipped with full kitchens, and the fact that breakfast is complimentary - a welcome change from the nickel-and-diming that's common elsewhere. Add in free parking, and it becomes a notably appealing choice.”
