Stay here, you won't regret it!!
We drive from halfway up BC Canada down to San Diego and back up again. We stayed at some 4 star hotels and other Fairfields. This was the best all around hotel for comfort, service, cleanliness, convenient location, ease of finding it, free parking, free breakfast selection and taste. There's 24hr guest laundry access (my only complaint is that they need to have the washing machine serviced to clean it as it has a musty smell). The beds were incredibly comfortable. It's within walking distance to the Natural Bridges Beach, which has an incredible view the sunset. The boardwalk is a short drive (10 min) and has a kid's paradise of rides, arcades, beach and food.
