“While the location near San Diego State University is convenient, reports of strong insecticide odors and rooms not matching online photos raise concerns; also, the lack of included breakfast despite claims is disappointing. Potential safety issues, like burn marks near the heater, are worrisome, as is the unexpected security deposit. Proceed with caution.”
