Bed was comfortable but pillows were crap. Construction going on made it a bit distracting. Exterior of the hotel reminded me of an hourly rate motel. Will not be staying there again

Overall not too bad for the price. The room was old and it showed. There was tape marks on some of the floor boards. The tub was scary, probably calcium build up but looked very dirty. The table and toilet seat cover had burn marks! Which was strange. But the location was convenient, easy in and out, for one night, it was ok. I just needed a place to sleep and the bed was comfortable.

Just remember that this place is close to a major highway, so being won’t be the top of anyone’s list. But beyond that, the room was comfortable and clean with the furniture being in good condition. Unfortunately, whatever box spring that they used for the bed needed to be replaced because you could hear a little twang of the metal spring when you would shift your position on the bed. The TV had a little flicker on my first day there, but on the second day, the screen went blank in the middle of a show. Luckily I had my laptop to stream on. But all in all, besides these issues, I would not mind staying here again since it is a convenient place to be in with all the options for restaurants, shopping, and whatever special event in San Diego you might want to stay for.

Nice stay

The room was great. It was comfortable. It was very clean. Very nice. We forgot to ask about a floor room on the app making the reservation, but when we asked at the front desk, there was not a problem at all. He said absolutely and gave us a bottom floor. He was very nice.

The walkways and our room floor is VERY uneven. Not sure if foundation is secure. No phone. Wi-Fi didn’t work. AC and lights all unplugged. Our pillows were the size of a couch throw pillow. Not enough towels…room had two bath towels and one washcloth. The seal on the door broke, so light came through the door. Toilet stained black. Floor was dirty and in bad shape.

I did not enjoy receiving a call at 3am to ask if we were the ones making noise. I was looking forward ti my slumber after a long drive and the random wake up call accusing us of being loud really ruined it for me. Need to get a refund
