San Diego is an expensive town especially if you want to get close to the beach. Al’s place is a good in between. 2 minute walk to the beach. Fit a family of 4 (5yo & 3yo) comfortably and perfectly fine. It was a fine place. It’s not the Four Seasons, but I didn’t come on vacation to stay in the room. And there was a garage so that’s a plus. Quick 5 minute stroll to a dive bar and taco joint to get away from the family.
