Location was great in San Diego and suite was exactly as described. The amenities and common areas are not as advertised. The supplies (pots, pans, knives) in the kitchen are limited and we were advised how to clean our dishes and to reuse dirty water – this made the stay feel less welcoming.
We were given consent to stay with our children (3 & 1) prior to booking but upon arrival there were unexpected rules such as our children were not allowed to be in the common area. Additionally we (adults) were informed that we were not allowed to remain in the kitchen and table area except when cooking. So my wife and I instead bundled up and made good use of the patio table despite the chilly evenings during our stay. The international students were very welcoming and hospitable.
Suite is suitable for a short stay or two people who like to eat out. It is less suitable for any more than 2 people or longer than a few days. Our days were mostly spent out and about so the suite worked for sleeping but did not work well for meals and daytime comfort.
