Great location! The garage was helpful because I had little ones so I didn't have to search for street parking. The water gets very hot so be careful with your children. The beds were comfortable, we kept warm on the cold nights (50's which is cold for us from Florida). We were able to walk to restaurants, target, CVS, and great ocean views. Close driving distance to everything, downtown, Balboa Park, sea world, the zoo, even the Mexican border/Outlet Mall.
