First room we were put in smelled very moldy and also like urine. Door frame and window frames were covered in mold. We moved to a different room which did smell better, but there was still mold all around the framing of the window. Our room key kept deactivating so I had to go to the front desk to have it reactivated multiple times.

We liked the location, closed to downtown and other tourist attractions. In addition, we were able to checkin early without extra charge.
The negative thing was some maintenance was being done next to our room early morning when we were still sleeping.
The building where to get the ice was far from our room. I was expecting the ice machine to be in the same building.

This used to be another property, but Best Western bought it out, so the landscaping and buildings are great.
LOTS OF construction workers staying when I was there, all loitering in the parking lot, so I felt like I was in college again with the googling eyes when I went to and from my car.
This whole area is near the beaches, so I have noticed staying in several properties that the sea air makes the room quite sticky and thick in air. I don't want to run the AC all day, so I left the windows open, but still makes the bedding and towels feel damp.
I had a lovely shower faucet head that was quite like a fire hydrant and felt like it was going to rip my nipples off, so my showering experience was very much lacking. I assume it was a quick fix and not the normal showered, so they should replace that. Conveniently located and although near the freeway did not hear too much noise.
I would have liked to enjoy the jacuzzi, but someone had put soap in it and the bubbles were quite disgusting. Was decently priced for the stay, although the check-in staff was a little less than professional teenagers with belly button rings hanging out, but whatever,
There is no elevator, or any accommodations for handicap people, no ramps, etc (not that this pertained to me, but I wanted an upstairs room and had a heavy bag so I could not stay upstairs.)

This is absolutely the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I booked it on Expedia and the pictures looked gorgeous. I got to the hotel and although check in was easy, that was the only good thing about the entire stay. The rooms don’t look like the pictures at all, it’s clear they used professional pictures to compensate for how old the rooms are. My room which was a nonsmoking room stunk of cigarettes. Not only that but the corner above the curtains had water damage and black mold along with a spider family. The room was filthy, there was no blanket, and the fridge was open so I couldn’t even put my food in it because it wasn’t cold. I called and asked for another room and thankfully was able to get one. I had to walk to the complete opposite side of the hotel to get another gross room- fridge open, shower head absolutely gross, no blanket on the bed, no trash bags in the trash, hair in the sink, and hair and stains on all the towels, and although no cigarette smell, a musty smell. But the absolute worst part was this box on the top of the wall that emits a very powerful blue light. So bright that you turn the lights off and can still see everything in the room as if the lights were still on. I literally could not sleep. I felt so gross the entire time I was here- gave motel6 vibes. I was also relaxing in my room and someone shoved a menu through my door and scared the sh** out of me. Literally the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had and I’m constantly traveling.

This is a no fuss hotel. The nightly price is low because there’s been no renovations. The furniture, with the exception of the computer chair, is outdated and some fixtures don’t work. Our sink was leaking badly and I reported it twice but didn’t see maintenance come by. The staff was friendly and responsive but lacked follow-up. For example, I asked for a microwave and was told they would call me back to see if one was available, but sadly I heard from no one. It’s not a fancy stay, but an acceptable budget option

This was my second time staying here. The room wasn’t very clean. It needs a detail. The bathroom grout was disgusting. It reminded me of a party hang out this time. Multiple rooms had people hanging out with the door open and in the hall smoking cigs and weed, loud music. That isn’t the hotels fault but it’s just not my vibe. I want quiet and peace. Room 328 I think.

I checked everything in the room and it was very clean and in good condition we were pleased after seeing some of the reviews. I treated the workers with kindness and smiled> I believe you get back what you put out in this world so I wouldn't believe most of the low star reviews. We had a great time and our room was perfect. Thank you for making our stay comfortable.

The WiFi was great and for the two nights we were there, it was perfect. The front desk guy was nice and professional, even had a good sense of humor as we checked in around 11pm on Tuesday. We checked out at three am on Thursday and it was the same guy with the same warm demeanor. Wasn’t a 5 star hotel, but met our needs. The room was clean and housekeeping even came through while we were gone Wednesday and cleaned up and remade our beds. Only things missing were a microwave and coffee maker. No free breakfast but the restaurant on site was convenient, inexpensive and good. Never tried the bar or the pool….

Arrived at 6pm, April 14/2026 to find prostiutes outside the doors of motel.
Our room was discussing. All kinds of Hair everywhere, not vacuumed- food on floor and chairs and table.
We had to wipe table off. While toilet clean before using. The only thing that looked tooken care of was bed. But we didn’t use as we went to front and talked with staff. No manager onsite only front desk girls. Nicky was the girl at front and was polite and finally after we had to make a lot of calls were able to cancel room and get refunded.
It’s VERY sketch.

The staff doesn’t let you check in early, after a long drive I needed to rest but literally got there 3:45 and rudely they said check in is at 4:00 pm. So if you plan to get early there is not the choice and if you want to be treated bad for getting there early.

The room was very stale smelling when we first entered. As if it had been cleaned, but days or weeks before we inhabited it. It made us feel like the room was dirty. The shower head’s pressure was terrible, it shot toward one specific spot so that we had to shower right up against the wall to avoid our faces and hair getting soaked. Maintenance was called, but nothing had changed. Requested a new room, but they were “booked” up. The ventilation in the room was also non existent: Literally everything in the room was damp once the shower was used. I’m surprised not everything in the room had mildew or mold (though it’s probably been painted over.) They don’t have free breakfast nor have they properly fixed this false advertising on third party websites. Their location is very close to fun things to do in San Diego, but the uncleanliness of the room turned us off from even relaxing or wanting to sleep in the room. We slept on top of the comforter with a blanket we purchased from Walmart. We will never stay at this location or possibly any “seaside” Best Western again. Trust this review and not all the ones claiming the rooms were so clean and orderly, that’s what gipped me into booking with Best Western.

I wanted to like this place, but i kept getting presesntsd with real life reasons as to why it sucks.
Rooms are small, and have a old stench to them. We found 2 spiders near our bed during our stay. The fact that netflix being available to use was advertised and was not true didnt help at all.
