You just cannot beat the location of this hotel! Right across the street from the harbor, this provided a nightly getaway for a stroll along the beach. The location was also convenient to all of the areas in SD we wanted to check out. The facilities were clean, we didn't check out the restaurant or the pool, but everything looked great.
