The place is exactly like photos, roomy & clean with easy checkin. My wife was a nervous Nellie about the homeless "camp" on Grape under I-5 at night but I finally convinced her that they weren't going to bother anybody. Many great restaurants around the area. If you don't have a car no problem. We bought "Geezer' Compass passes in 2012 & renew them for a month whenever we go to SD for $23 each and use trolley, bus & feet. You get the exercise & it beats parking downtown.
