Such a cute little hotel! It gave me vintage Vegas hotel and I’m here for it! Check in was easy! They even let me check in 2 hours early because my room was ready and in drive down from LA! The rooms were cute and the jacuzzi was used! I’d stay here again especially for the affordable price!

Don't stay at this place. It's like a little kid's place. And it's not even a nice bed. Nothing places really to be quite honest with you. Worse than a cheap hotel in another country, and I travel all over and the people there.They're just money younger grubbing freaks

Overall, a great stay. The room and hotel were both very clean. This place could use a bit of updating. Seems a bit dated. But a great spot for a quick stay close to the airport.

Such a fun little hotel with cute decor, clean rooms, 10-15 minutes from most attractions, and very close to Old Town! We usually stay here while in San Diego and it's part of the reason we keep returning to America's Finest City.

Perfect hotel with limited menu options in the restaurant. It may have been limited be ause of the winter months; however, a restaurant/bar closing at 8:00 p.m. is dramatically atypical.
