Heritage Inn San Diego

Heritage Inn San Diego

8/10 Good
"I’d stay here again! The reviews really worried me but I didn’t experience anything from all the other reviews I read. They were in the middle of remodeling so of course there were a few flaws but other than that it was fantastic. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. And the room was very clean and nice ."

10/10 Excellent
"I didn’t realize you had to ask for a room that was for handicapped people, I.e. bars in the bathroom etc. which would have been very helpful. I did inquire about such availability but was told they only had a room with a king bed which did not fit the circumstances for my daughter and I. We could have made it work but not necessary."
