Overall, Mintie’s Pad is a perfect spot to land if you like being near the water and a walkable area, including beautiful hikes and great shops and restaurants. It’s also very convenient to the airport.
The place is cute/small and perfect for 1-2 people. And Mintie is friendly. Additionally, it’s a peaceful community and very quiet at night. Which I like.
If you are a business traveler and working remotely, or want a very comfortable bed that is not uber heavy to lift up/pull down, this is probably not the place for you. Additionally, if you want a full kitchen, I would hunt somewhere else. There is a small desk and a stool…and a little stove, and as she mentions in her post. So nothing negative … just reiterating.
If you’re just looking for a place to chill and relax before exploring San Diego, then I highly recommend staying here as some of the views right outside the property are pretty outstanding.
