Ronald, Mar 2015

Pros. Just returned from a week long vacation in San Diego. A friend suggested we stay at the Marina Gateway Hotel. Best tip yet...the staff was friendly, the rooms were very clean, and all of the amenities were in good working order. Only drawback was no continental breakfast in the morning, but there was a nice restaurant across the parking lot. I would suggest this hotel to anyone:)
