Homeless encampment at the front door. Garbage in the hallway. Children riding scooters in the hallway. Horrible smell. Noisy air conditioning unit. After checking in we decided to just go home.

We were going to orientation at CSU San Marcos and it was a 5 min driver to the campus. Very convenient. Also Outback steakhouse is next door and Spaghetti factory across the street which was great. Also the freeway is a block away so it makes travelling very easy.
