The location was fantastic for visiting my daughter who attends SDSU. The hotel itself is lovely and exceeded my expectations. The king room I was looked recently renovated. My only complaint is a loud fan in the bathroom that could not be turned off. It was a very minor annoyance. We kept the bathroom door shut while sleeping and we did not complain to the front desk about it.
