The place is great. Parking was relatively easy and the area seems very safe, it is a very short walk to both Little Italy and Balboa Park. The airplane noise was not too bad for us since we already live near a fight path, but it does get loud and is also cool to watch. They provide earplugs for sleeping which was nice. Overall the place is not fancy but it will serve you well for a few days if you plan on being out most of the time and only plan on relaxing and watching TV when there.
