“The Howard Johnson near San Diego State University tells a story of contrasts. While some online reports note cleanliness and quiet surroundings, concerns exist regarding advertised amenities like breakfast not being available. It strikes me as a place with potential, overshadowed by inconsistent upkeep and communication.”
