The place is not right off of the beach nor right off of the bay. You will need to walk about half a mile for either. The view from the patio is of a pretty busy street, but there is a little park that you can see. The theme of the place is kind of cute. Also, there is Netflix on the TV, so that is fun if you find yourself back at eight with nothing else to do. Just for reference, it will take 18 minutes to get to the San Diego Zoo. The shower head was a little broken, there was a sort of smell for a day, you can’t really control the temperature, and there was no cooking spray or tissues if you want to know the things we encountered. However, there was good shampoo and conditioner, a comfy pillow-top bed, and a gas stove that we made breakfast with. Overall an average stay for an average price.
