We had a great stay here! Beds were comfy, location is near the swap meet which was nice. Only issues were that when we checked in, I guess they overbooked certain rooms. So everyone who had an upgraded King room was given a standard double bed. The shower would clog and the ice machine didn’t work. The TV and the in room phone also did not work at all, and when we tried to call the office using our personal phones, the line was disconnected. Also, the power kept going out!

I was charged a deposit twice. I asked the staff they told me not to worry that it would be taken care of while I’ve checked out went to eat breakfast. My card was ran an additional $105.91. I had to come back to the hotel deal with the same staff. They let me know that they don’t have a manager on the weekends. I’m from Arizona so this is very difficult for me because now I have to catch my flight and go back. I called customer service. They said there’s nothing they can really do besides for make a complaint but at this point, my card is being ran by this hotel and there’s nothing I can do about it and there’s nobody to talk to customer service. Let me know that somebody would reach out to me in a week so as of right now, I am out of $205.91. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone at first sight. It looks like a great place to stay but once you get inside the room, don’t make coffee because roaches will come out of the coffee maker. There was dead roaches inside of the hairdryer bag. I wasn’t gonna bring that up, but since they want to charge my card, I think that the public should know.

The property was OK. But there was an issue with my confirmation. Originally, they said they could not find the reservation. Luckly, I had the confirmation number, but it took them a while to find it and check me in. They said it had something to do with being booked via a third party (Expedia I suppose). Not sure where the problem is (Expedia, the hotel, or some place else), but Luckly they had a room. It is something that needs to be fixed.

The pictures make the property and rooms look much nicer than reality. The bed and pillows were terrible. The ac was missing the grill to aim the air. The elevator was down so we got to carry everything up the stairs. Paying 20.00 a night to park when you are paying so much for a room is crazy . I would suggest looking elsewhere

Tones of issues. Room was in very poor condition. Cracks and issues with the shower and sink, big broken holes and cracks in the AC unit. Bed quality was like sleeping on the ground with a thin sheet. Room felt like they tried to make a prison cell look nice but failed. Areas outside of room had trash all over and was super run down. They even tried to put us in a room that we never booked and they still ended up not putting us in a room we booked. Staff was just nasty to us and didn’t care about any of the concerns we had. What they advertised was far from what you really got or saw. Never ever would recommend anyone here and highly suggest black listing them. Price also did not match how bad it was. We ended up moving hotels after only being in the room for an hour.

The property appears to have discrepancies between what is advertised on their website and what is actually provided on-site. The website states that “hot breakfast is available,” however, this is not offered. Instead, guests are provided with a 10% discount for a nearby Panera location.

Additionally, the in-room information indicates that housekeeping services include turn-down service, fresh towels, and trash removal. During our stay, these services were not provided unless specifically requested.

I also reached out to the property manager to share these concerns; however, the response felt dismissive and lacked empathy or acknowledgment of the issues raised. Rather than addressing the concerns directly, the explanation provided focused on justifications for the discrepancies.

I am sharing this feedback in hopes that it will be reviewed and addressed to ensure future guests receive accurate information and a consistent level of service.

The staff was friendly, the room looked clean. The one thing I would say to travelers is that the word “hotel” to me implied that the room doors faced inside an indoor hallway, and the doors of the rooms actually faced the outside. For $20 you can park your car in the hotel lot, and the staff said that there were security guards. Panera restaurant is co-located, which is convenient.

Comfortable property if you’re looking for a short stay. The location is very convenient 15 mins away from just about everything. The only issue I had was that the air unit had a burning scent coming from it so we didn’t turn it on. Overall, it’ll get the job done. Rooms had adequate space which was good.

the overall stay was great! clean room and helpful staff- everything is so close to us which made the stay better. my only real critique was the odd spacing in the room. we had a big gap between the bed and the bathroom and there was no table or anything to fill the space. additionally, I wish there was curtains or something to let natural light in but the "curtains" that are there just cover the whole window- so you're either fully exposed or just working with darkness and lamp lighting. other than that awkward layout,everything was 5/5!

Had to pay for parking, and the property was difficult to get in and out of. The room was clean and nice. The bathroom was modern and clean.

The room was simple yet appeared clean. Unfortunately, a fly was buzzing around and disrupted the overall comfort. Unfortunately, the stay was further disrupted by excessive noise—guests were running above us, and loud conversations outside our room at 6 a.m. made it difficult to sleep. Addressing these issues could significantly improve the experience.

The refrigerator didn't work and we were an hour late to meet family trying to get a new one because I needed a working refrigerator to keep my insulin cold. The TV also didn't work and all of the channels were scrambled. The technician had no idea what he was doing or what was wrong. We fixed The loose connection ourselves. It then failed again when we got back to the hotel, discovering it was a glitch with their service and you can't use the guide. I explained to the lovely young lady at the front desk the medical issues I sometimes have in the morning and she gave us an extra hour to check out which was appreciated, but then at 8:30 a.m. We received a call from what we assume was the front desk startling us awake after a long night after a funeral with family, with no one on the other line When I got up to answer. Maybe it was a mistaken wake-up call? And we really needed to get more sleep with our long drive home that day. That was upsetting. The bathroom lighting is absolutely unacceptable!! It was like a dark nightclub. I could not do my makeup at all!! My husband couldn't even style his hair with so little lighting. The Only windows are right up front by the front door and the staff / maid service kept startling us pressing their faces against the glass to peer in and see if we were still there while we were dressing etc. despite the do not disturb sign. And despite having a fridge and microwave they have no dishware! They told us to go to Panera next door!

This stay was very disappointing. The walls were extremely thin. We were on the third floor and could hear people in the parking lot shouting. Also, they text me and said "text us here with any questions" but they did not respond to four messages that I sent. I tried using the phone in the room to call the front desk but the phone did not work. The room and bathroom doors were dirty and smudged. The water pressure in the shower was very low. Toilet paper is thin. One of the locks on the door was unscrewed and was useless. The bed was also uncomfortable. The TV only had three news channels and we were unable to watch a streaming service. If you plan on walking a lot, I wouldn't recommend this place as it is on a very busy street. There is a Panera right on the property and if you use their discount code you can get 10% off your order. You can do early check in for an extra $50 but you can also drop off your bags in a locked room for free. Check out was easy. Overall, not a great spot but it did the job.

Look at pictures of the surrounding area before you book. First room they gave us had water all on the floor and stunk like cigarette smoke.

The floors are not carpeted and dirt easily showed up on the bottom of our socks after walking around. There were black footprints on the wall by the bed. The bathtub paint was chipped. The room smelled strongly of bleach, which is the only proof any cleaning has ever occurred. During our stay, our room was never cleaned, nor were the towels replaced.

The website says they have breakfast available onsite, implying some sort of breakfast lounge, what it actually means is they have a panera nextdoor with a 10% off code. Additionally, their late night desk agent (I think Frank was his name) was very rude and generally unhelpful. Our cards stopped working 3 times despite being kept far away from electronics, and Frank would always imply it was our fault. Finally, if you have a rental, they charge an extra $20 PER NIGHT to get a parking pass with no warning on their site.

The room itself is clean, spacious, and relatively modern. Wifi worked well once I finally was able to connect. Unfortunately, the in-room coffee maker only offered decaf. Biggest complaint was the $20 per night fee to park, which is apparently new and wasn't disclosed in the original online booking. This was my second time in two months staying here, and despite the decent room and good location, I don't think I'll be back a third time.

check in - meaning just to get keys since i already checked in mobile- took almost an hr! The room is clean with really soft beds that killed my back. There are no chairs or tables in room. The walls had dark marks and walls are paper thin. Woke up to someone walking heavily above our floor along with everything going on in the parking area right outside the door. Someone actually opened our door - said sorry and closed the door- luckily we had the lock in place - can’t tell if it was staff or some stranger. That was definitely scary! It was ok for a night, i don’t think i could have handled a few nights here.

It was an okay stay. From the pictures of our room when booked, it showed a kitchenette. When we arrived, no kitchenette. I don’t like false advertising. The room was okay. We had little gnats and bugs in the room and that was not okay. Elevators not working. It was very noisy around the complex. We heard screaming from someone and yelling from the clean up staff throughout the property. Checking in was good. Check out efficient. It was an expensive stay for the quality of hotel. Very crowded probably due to a lot of people on vacation.

This picture of the lobby is accurate, as well as there being more! I was so pleasantly surprised at the refreshing decor. Then, during my stay, the reception staff called me by name on site, acting like human beings rather than corporate robots. The housekeeping staff was so cheerful, and the maintenance and security staff were also responsive and friendly. Yet, the pièce de résistance was the mattress — which I hope to find for my own home!

I specifically booked this hotel because of its proximity to San Diego Airport, as the website offered shuttle service. A check-in, I asked about a shuttle to the airport and was told that they do not have a shuttle and I could book rooms elsewhere if I desired! It was too late to try to find accommodation elsewhere and kept the 3 rooms I booked!

Of course, there was a shuttle on the property (I took a photo of it) but they chose to not offer the service. Additionally, we were all on the 2nd floor but the elevator was inoperable and the door to the stairwell was locked!

The room was old and dingy and a few dead bugs were on the floor!

I will never stay at a Wyndham again!
