Comfort Inn San Diego - SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay. It was a great price and location to Sea World. The beds are firm, but we slept fine. There's no pool which disappointed my kids. Breakfast was fine but same food every day. It was a little basic, but as long as there's waffles, my family is happy. We loved being able to walk across the street to Canes and little bit farther walk to in and out and panda express. The only complaint are the walls are thin, so you hear your neighbors next door talking and the water pipes in the walls. Thankfully, the neighbors were not loud after 11 pm and took showers before midnight. The water pipes startle you at first with their loud noise."
