My stay at Tao's was perfect for my needs. I was attending a professional conference in San Diego and I needed a place that was cheap, gave me basic necessities (closet for dry cleaned clothes, nice bathroom, etc.), easy to access at odd-hours, and generally no-hassle. All of this is true about this well-maintained listing. It's a good drive from the downtown SD hotels and relatively no-frills, but if you're already renting a car and don't care about staying at the conference hotel, it's perfect.
