The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was clean and we slept well. It’s not in the nicest area and the parking is very small. If you need a place to juz sleep for a night or two this can be your place.

I stayed at the Quality Inn San Diego I-5 Naval Base for one night on 8/14/26. The check-in went well. The staff member, Laura, was very helpful. The property has plenty of parking. I was in 308, and despite being close to the highway, I slept well and did not hear any outside noise. Breakfast includes a few items, like fresh fruit, coffee, a waffle maker, and oatmeal. For one night, the place served its purpose, and I would highly recommend it. While not the fanciest place out there, the most important thing is that it made my stay peaceful for one night.

The room was very clean and new. The staff was excellent. Breakfast was good. Waffles, fruit, cereal, yogurt and oatmeal. No eggs or bacon. There is no pool. There is no lobby to sit in. The location of the hotel is not great. Like being in a middle class neighborhood. Does not feel like you are on vacation. It is right next to highway. One day there was a rotten odor in the area. Don’t know what it was. I would stay there again if I just needed a room for a quick stay but I would not stay there if on vacation.
