Room was clean and ok. Second floor balcony overlooked the parking lot. Loose AC ceiling grill rattled throughout the night. Breakfast was free and mediocre. Location was good and parking was free. Overall a middling hotel in need of a refresh.

My only issue was with parking. The agent at the time of my check in did not explain to me that it was two different entrances for cars and trucks. I have a chevy transverse. Big suv. There also not any signs telling you the difference. To make a long story short.. I ended up damaging my passenger side door because I went out the exit for smaller cars. The driveway and wall is my mark properly.

Friendly staff. Generous breakfast with some variation. Rooms were large, but the air condition was too cold and not controllable. Bar soap and small shampoo and conditioner bottles could have been bigger. Great location on the waterfront and near the airport.

It was fine, probably on par overall with other hotels in this area in the same price range, but nothing special. I was hungry at 10pm and found several options nearby and the neightborhood felt plenty safe to walk, so that's a big plus. The mattress felt weird, not in a good way, and then I noticed it actually was two single bad frames pushed together with a mattress on top that felt well past its prime. The room overall was clean EXCEPT there was some weird dried splotch on the bed headboard that appeared to be some sort of human bio-residue, so that was gross and unnerving, obviously missed by housekeeping. I come to town once a month, fly in late, sleep, and then leave early for local work, so the most important aspect for me is a good bed, and this definitely was not it. The room did have a nice balcony, and the breakfast bar looked pretty good although I did not eat breakfast at the hotel so that was not an advantage for me personally. I would not be averse to staying here again, but it probably won't be my first choice either.

Room had maintenance issues.
1. The flush was broken causing water to flow most of the night until I pushed it down a few times in morning that made the flow stop.
2. The coffee maker switch was broken causing it to automatically start upon plugging in.
3. The wall outlet plug below the study table was loose.

Other issue was related to vehicular noise from the main road right next to the property causing a disturbed sleep.

Overall a suboptimal room experience.

Smoking rooms are hard to come by in a nice hotel these days but this one was top notch with a balcony. Everything worked properly and I had a nice stay. Mona was very helpful and kind.

Old furniture with multiple scrapes, dents. Carpet old and a large bump. Breakfast area--large bucket on top of the trash can where you were suppose to dump liquids---included coffee, water, juice, milk etc---smelled and unsightly.
One staff member when we checked in very nice, professional. One staff member when I went to print boarding pass---computer didnt work was not helpful rude and unfriendly.

Room is average and pretty outdated. Pop corn ceiling. AC makes noise. Called front desk and was told all room has the same AC that makes noise. Room is facing the street and noise proof is terrible. And light proof is bad as well. I had to get an eye mask to be able to sleep properly. Overall, the room condition is not great. Breakfast is ok but very repetitive and gets tired after a couple of days. Parking is free, which is good. Other than that, really nothing to shout about at this hotel. Maybe it is cheaper for those reason.

The room felt a bit outdated, but the beds were comfortable. Our balcony was on the ground level and opened right up to the parking lot, which wasn’t ideal. That said, with the discounted rate and breakfast for four included, it was still a good value for a short stay. I probably wouldn’t choose to stay at this hotel again, though the breakfast was surprisingly good and definitely the highlight.

Breakfast and hot tub was the only decent thing about this hotel. At this property you get what you pay for. Older and outdated, needs some work. Smells like mildew in the rooms. Loud when planes are flying over. A/C is super loud and bangs when it comes on. Workers are kind.

The best feature of this property is the breakfast - there were lots of choices and well stocked all the time. They clean the breakfast care very well. There is also free parking on-site which is very convenient.

Now the room - they need to steam clean their carpets. Our feet were very dirty (turns black) if we walk barefoot on the carpet, it was pretty nasty! They also need change their blankets to the comforter ones, there were just like a rag-type blanket which I thought hotels don't use those anymore! The beds were firm and not comfy. They also have small containers for shampoo, conditioner and lotions - they should change to the refillable ones.

The breakfast menu is fresh and they offer a little variation each day…they alternate between French toast, biscuits w/country gravy, pulled pork sliders, and breakfast burritos using the diced ham, shredded cheese and pico de gallo. They always offer scrambled eggs and sometimes bacon. It’s much more than a continental breakfast some hotels offer. It’s ver good in fact! The parking is very convenient and seems to be plentiful. The front desk staff is very friendly and courteous! Whenever you walk by the front desk they smile and greet you. The room is clean and although not very spacious, it’s comfortable for 2 people. We also enjoy having a small refrigerator and a microwave in our room in case we want to eat in the room. All in all we always find it a comfortable place to stay with everything we need close by due to the convenient location.

Breakfast was excellent - so much variety! And Mahogany at the front desk was super helpful, and so kind, and knowledgeable. She made me feel very welcomed as a guest, and explained everything I needed to know for my stay. The property itself is older, and yes, could use some renovations and updating, but even as is, it provides a very comfortable stay. All the hardworking hotel staff are awesome, From the front desk, to the maintenance staff workers, and the kitchen staff who work tirelessly to put on a fantastic breakfast, to the room maids, they all deserve praise for making guests enjoy their stay while in San Diego.

The room was clean, the breakfast was always good. The beds are ok. I only have a few complaints. 1) the air didn’t work in the hotel room I never brought this up because regardless it was still comfortable. 2) the hot tub really needs to be maintained the paint is chipping it was not like this 3 years ago when I was there. 3) they just need more room for breakfast but that’s not easy to fix. The staff is super friendly and helpful, parking is easy and included. I love seeing and hearing the military planes and helicopters. I also love how close it is to some great restaurants, Pizza Nova is amazing and across the street. I will go back here if looking for a hotel to stay in San Diego

It’s a Best Western…. It’s not The Four Seasons. If you understand what that means, and you’re okay without TFS extras, it’s 5 stars. The area was walkable to restaurants and marina front strolls safely strolled 4 nights in a row by 55+ couple we are. Close to downtown, we rode our e-bikes to Gaslamp in the day and the went back for dinner for $13 bucks in an uber. Want affordable SanDiego base for a getaway, it works well.

They have \"pico de gallo\" for you to made a \"eag burrito\", this was a plus. Really good breakfast I overall, and clean, congratulations to the staff. Hope the property owners change the mattresses, this will put this hotel, on the top of any other in the area.
