I think this is a good hotel to stay at in San Diego. The location is very convenient for a number of reasons. It is next to highway 5 meaning that you can get downtown in 10 minutes or to various beaches up and down the coast quite easily. The rooms are solid. I really like the design of the grounds and the adjoining buildings. The fitness area is nice, but not incredible. Lots of machines.
Do not miss Cafe Japengo. It is a fantastic restaurant in one of the buildings at the site. Superb sushi. Excellent Asian Fusion. Don't miss the Duck and Goat Cheese Salad. Also the spicy tuna sashimi salad is great. All this is available as room service! Thursday to Saturday nights the bar at Japengo is full of young good looking people.
I have been successful bidding for this hotel on Priceline. Winning bid was $50, which comes to around $60 with fees and taxes. Well worth it!
