“This San Diego property strikes me as refreshingly independent, a family-owned alternative to the chains. I noted its proximity to both the zoo and Balboa Park, a real plus for those wanting to explore. The outdoor pool and spa looked inviting, open year-round for relaxation. I especially appreciate the event catering; it signals a dedication to business travelers, too.”
