I decided to stay at the "Residence Inn San Diego Mission Valley," because it was more reasonable compared to hotels in downtown San Diego. I was on a business trip to San Diego and was looking for an area I had never stayed before and near the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). In downtown, it's normal to pay $ 40-50 for parking. However, I was able to stay at a much cheaper price at this hotel.

Summary
Compared to the downtown area there were many restaurants and bars within walking distance, so I couldn’t go out to eat casually and had to plan three meals in advance. Therefore, it was a little bothersome for me who was busy on a business trip and having to move to a place to eat and wait for a delivery order. However, the time I spent in the hotel was comfortable. I had to get off at the elevator and move to another elevator to get to the front desk which was sometimes troublesome, but I have to go on business trip to San Diego often, so when I compare the price to the hotels in the downtown area, it is much more reasonable to stay at this hotel.
