I stayed there about two years ago. It is off the beaten path to say the least, about a 45 minute to one hour drive from San Diego attractions, Beach, Zoo, Old Town, etc. The hotel is really nice with clean rooms and great service. Wasn’t to keen on the casino though…to smoky for me. Which reminds me, ask for a non-smoking room if you do not smoke? The slots where tight, not much pay back for what I put in. Did play in the card room…..that’s where I won most of my money.
Good luck, the weather is going to be nice.
