my partner and I stayed here for about a week. It’s somewhat nicer than other places in the area. The bed was not very comfortable. Biggest complaint is the customer service is horrible. Absolutely zero hospitality. We wouldn’t want to stay here again.

This is our second time staying here. It was great for a budget conscious family with three kids. We checked in and we all enjoyed the pool, it was in great condition! The room was clean with lots of towels. Staff is very friendly, ample parking. Very quiet, did not hear a peep from anyone. Had a tub with a shower. Water is very hot and the tub worked fine for the kids baths. I took a shower, very good water pressure and it got hot very fast. The air conditioner was powerful and it worked fast. Breakfast are to go bags but it was very healthy and more than I could eat, very good. For the price, it was a wonderful stay! Challenges: We did want two queen sized beds but they gave us two full sized ones. The internet and tv did not work but we didn’t come here to watch tv so that was fine. For breakfast, there is only coffee and there is nothing for the kids.

I don’t know why this property gets so many bad reviews. I stayed at the property during Thanksgiving week. It was my first time visiting San Diego. The hotel is a bit dated but the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the free WiFi and cable TV were convenient. I had an issue with the card access to my room but Danny resolved the issue by switching me to another room. I’d definitely book again. If you’re budget conscious, book your San Diego stay here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Honest and complete

The good: bed was comfortable, no bugs in room, good sized fridge, convenient to highway and multiple grocery stores The neutral: breakfast is a bag picked up from the lobby ( nutrigrain bar, oatmeal, muffin, yogurt) The iffy: must be buzzed into the lobby (speaks to the area not necessarily the hotel), sign that says you have 15 minute to decide to stay or can’t be refunded, overall condition of rooms is run down ( patch on walls, bad paint repairs, light covers not falling but also not fitting right anymore, mirror frame detaching, holes in screen, curtain with holes, tile transition from bathroom to room broken, cracked and seperating ac system ) The bad: pool/spa shut down by state, both rooms I was shown had a smoke odor ( unsure if people smoke in there, it’s from a time when they were smoking or it’s the people with sit in front of their ac unit to smoke and it’s pulled in- not overwhelming odor in the second room but for someone sensitive to smells bad enough although I never closed the window in the bathroom), floors dirty enough to turn feet bottoms black (hard floors so either dirty mop water or not mopping), lots of grease/black on bathroom door so if handles are cleaned doors are not The odd: no drawers in night stand , microwave in my room worked just had no display ( you can figure it out if you have ever used a microwave- this I reported when leaving) Not a bad stay overall but I chose my own bed instead of an extra night once business was complete
