There's a reason so many people love this place--it looks just like the pictures and is in an awesome location. Many reviewers discussed the noise (bars, trains, people having a good time outside)--like pretty much all of them, it didn't really bother me (which is weird b/c I am a light sleeper). After midnight, all of that noise really goes away. Eat dinner after sunset, get a drink, take a long walk (we walked to Balboa park and even to Old Town SD!), and go to bed a little later....this is the absolute perfect place to stay.
