Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Diego North, CA

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great experience at Country Inn & Suites. The front desk employees, Mike and Saul, were incredibly welcoming and kind from the moment we arrived, which made a big difference. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Most importantly, they helped make our birthday trip feel truly special. Their hospitality and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We would absolutely stay here again!"
