I stayed in a corner room on the top floor, so the view from the room was wonderful. I was thrilled to see airplanes taking off and landing nearby. The size fo the room was just right for two people.

IMG_0427(5) copy

There was a cafe corner and a closet on the right and a sofa and table next to it.

IMG_0427(12) copy

Across the sofa was a TV.

IMG_0427(16) copy

There were empty drawers under the TV.

IMG_0427(10) copy

There was a bed at the back of the room. It was a king size bed that was very comfortable to sleep on. The hotel is close to the airport, but I did not hear the sound of airplanes flying at all.

IMG_0427(2) copy

There was a desk across the bed.

IMG_0427(7) copy

The desk faces the window, so you can work while enjoying the nice view.

I was able to enjoy the view from two windows facing different directions and it was breathtaking! It is also a perfect room to stay in for those who love airplanes. You can see the planes landing and taking off from San Diego International Airport clearly, and the contrast between the bay and the tall buildings was very nice. There was nothing blocking the view and I was satisfied with the scenery.

The city lights were beautiful as well.

Bathroom

IMG_0427 copy

There was a sink, toilet and a shower room all in one space. It was a very big bathroom with a window next to the toilet. It was warm and bight in the morning.

IMG_0427(11) copy

The shower had a glass door, so I did not have to worry about water splashing on the floor.

IMG_0427(4) copy

The shower-head was fixed on the wall and the water pressure was just right. “Tea Tree” shampoo, conditioner and body soap were prepared.

IMG_0427(8) copy

There were two extra toilet papers, hand soap and body lotion prepared on the sink.

Closet and safe

IMG_0427(15) copy

There was a closet next to the entrance with a mirror on the door which was useful for checking my outfit. It was not a big closet and there was an iron, ironing board and a baggage rack prepared inside, so there was not enough space to hang extra clothes in. I was only staying for 1 night, so it was not a problem for me. I did not see a safe anywhere in the room.

Hotel Surroundings

The hotel is located in the downtown area that is near the ocean. In the morning I had a nice jog along the beach. Also, there were many scooters on the streets that are available to anyone.

Staff and Guests

There were always at least two to three staff standing at the front desk and they were all very friendly and professional. I was impressed with the service.

IMG_0427.JPG (4)

I saw quite a few families at the breakfast venue. I was surprised to see so many families because it was quiet in the hotel at night. Many of the guests were staying to go sightseeing. I also saw a couple of business people staying.

Access

The airport is only a 10 minute drive from the hotel. I saw a couple of homeless people on the streets, but there were security police here and there and I felt very safe. Because the hotel is located in the downtown area, I could walk to various places easily. For lunch, I walked to a nearby sandwich shop and convenience store which were both very cheap. There were also many shops along the beach.

It was a short walk to “USS MIDDWAY MUSEUM.”

IMG_0427.JPG (32)

There was a port for cruise ships right in front of the hotel.

Summary

The room was a perfect size for two people to stay in, and the view was also wonderful. It felt as if I was staying in a condominium in San Diego just like a wealthy person. You can see the ocean from the breakfast venue, so I had a very relaxing morning as well. I would love stay here again if the price is reasonable.
