Visited San Diego for a conference over the weekend, and needed an economical place to stay. Uptown Inn suited our needs perfectly for that. We were out of the room for most of the day and mainly needed it to sleep. Also used the shared kitchen which was clean as well. Given our needs, it was 5 stars.
