The place is quite centrally located and ideal for our purpose of college visits. If we had stayed longer than 1 night we would have enjoyed exploring the neighborhood more and walking down to the waterfront. It was unseasonably cold in San Diego and we were feeling rather chilled. Instead of enjoying the outdoor patio with jungle plants and water elements we were confined to the room and had to turn on the space heater. The overhead planes that were landing every 10 or 15 minutes were jarring to my nerves. Still, the place is charming and eclectic and it was fun to stay in an environment that felt real and with character compared to a sterile hotel room.
