Spent 4 wonderful nights here first week of June. Nice warm pool & toasty jacuzzi. Had both all to myself every night. Big Comfy King room with great bed, nice couch, waist high fridge, microwave, coffee pot, etc. I was solo, so safety is paramount. Location was super quiet, even though it’s just one block off the 5 freeway. Felt very safe. Actually went to the 7-Eleven and the gas station both at night & wasn’t the slightest bit uncomfortable. Building was built in the 70’s (probably why it’s so quiet), but has been redone. Still has California Spanish architecture, which is very pretty. Rooms are modern and up-to-date. Front desk & housekeeping staff was incredibly nice, making sure I had everything I needed. Breakfast was pretty typical: cereal, some fruit, muffins, eggs. No meat. Nothing fancy, but will get you to lunch. Location is FANTASTIC! 2 minutes to Mission Bay and maybe 5 to Seaworld & Old Town and 10 min to downtown. It’s the only hotel off the Claremont exit, and by a small, old church, so made for a chill vibe. At $100/night, you absolutely can’t beat it! Really liked not being in the hustle and bustle area of hotel circle with the massive traffic on the 8 and business of Mission/Fashion Valley. Will absolutely stay here again next time I’m in San Diego. Currently looking for any excuse to come back to my old hometown & stay at this great property.

The outside was more beat up than I expected. The inside was nice except the floor was filthy (dirty feet). The pool and hot tub were okay but not great. The whole hotel definitely looked nicer in the pictures than it was.

Avoid this property. I booked this property based on the reviews I had read on Expedia. We'll those positive reviews are misleading. This property is awful. 1st off the staff is unresponsive and needs to be retrained in customer service. Our hair dryer didn't work. When my wife went to ask for a new one she was told no. Another person staying in another room gave us theirs. Secondly, the room smelled like cigarette smoke. For a non-smoking room it smelled like someone regularly smokes in there. Third there were ants in the sink and on the counter. And 4th and most disgusting on our last morning a roach the size of a silver dollar was in our bathroom. The breakfast that they advertise as having waffles and eggs didn't. Just hard boiled eggs in a plastic container already peeled collecting germs. All in all a horrible experience. We will never frequent tjis location again. And I encourage Expedia to remove this location from there offerings.

Well, what can I say. Did an investor buy this hotel and then not support its maintenance and management? Staff seems overworked. Things are pretty dirty - walkways, railings, elevators. Cramped situation getting off elevator with staff laundry big bins blocking egress/ingress. Tub didn't drain.

Beds were clean and comfortable. TV didn't really work. Maybe the remote needed batteries? Terrible internet. That might have been the problem with the TV. I could book my flights or make other reservations with such slow internet. Web pages took forever to load.

Although there appeared to be ample vacant rooms they initially gave us a room next to their laundry room. It was VERY noisy through the wall. When I requested a room change away from noise they handled it reluctantly as if it was a big burden. I would not return to that motel.

We picked this hotel because of the continental breakfast. At 9 o’clock we called the front desk and asked when it was over. They said 10 o’clock. At 9:15am we went down and they were cleaning up breakfast already. My boyfriend called cereal and had to ask for the milk to be brought back out so he could have milk in it. Then the spoons were removed and he had to ask for a spoon. It was ridiculous. There was 45 more minutes left of breakfast and they were cleaning it up and taking away things as we were trying to get things that they were toast, cereal, and and juice. and they were rude about it.

There was lots of parking and the staff was friendly at checkin. The breakfast was less than desirable. The cleaner smell was so strong that it was overwhelming and I could still taste it in my mouth long after leaving the area. There was also a fly trapped in the hard boiled egg compartment. The whole breakfast experience gave me the ick. The facilities were otherwise good and the bed was very comfortable.

For the price the hotel was good. They accommodated an early check in which we greatly appreciated. They were under staffed so our room didn’t get cleaned as we are Canadians and didn’t receive the text notification they sent out not sure why which was frustrating as we have young kids and we needed fresh towels. Which they have a shortage of because they are fully booked that being said it is spring break time so I’m not upset they did give us towels when I went and asked. The breakfast was ok not hot but good enough for what we needed. Kids enjoyed the pool, overall decent just not a 5 star full experience, I would stay again.

Our room was very nice. We had a king bed with a sofa. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. It had a nice sized mini fridge and a microwave. The continental breakfast was basic. Toast, 2 kinds of cereal, a yogurt machine, packaged pastries, cold hard boiled eggs, bananas and oranges and four different juices. A pitcher of milk was there too. The pool and hot tub are small but nice. Finding it was a little difficult as you can't see the hotel. There is a Best Western sign on the back of the bldg. but figuring out how to get in took a while. I would suggest they add Best Western signs with arrows at the 2 entrances. Their only ice machine was broke for part of our stay. When we spent any time in the room I noticed the bottom of my feet and my husbands socks would get very dirty. I took a bath towel and cleaned parts of the dirty floor. It looked clean but was not. I mentioned it in the office and was told they do mop the floors but think that the black top parking lot was causing the dirty floors.

This place is a renovated motel (doors on the outside). The outside is pretty dingy, but the rooms have nicer feel. The breakfast is virtually nothing. Nothing warm and the only protein are some hard-boiled eggs. Not even the little waffle maker my son looks forward to. Room looked clean but my wife saw what looked like a booger on one of the towels. With this place I chose…poorly.

I stayed for a weekend in March, there is a smell on the property particularly in the bathroom. The staff seemed under staffed no hospitality. During the stay someone vomited in the elvator and no sign. You can hear nieghbors and outside noise. Parking is very tight. I did like the mirror in my room. The TV did not switch to the guide so kind of annoying over all a decline but seems to be down Hill for SD

I only encountered one staff member with customer service my whole stay. Every other member definitely needs to work on that. I’m not expecting 5 start service but a greeting at least instead of being looked at like I wanted into the front door of their house is crazy. The breakfast was pretty bleak so if you’re relying on that, go ahead and skip. I wanted my sheets changed because my daughter peed on the bed and nobody showed up for three days so that’s cool, even for regular house keeping, I tested with a card under the sheets to see if maybe they would get changed and no. But if you’re looking for just somewhere to sleep, shower, and change, it’s definitely a good hotel for that. And a pretty decent location, about 10-15 minutes from everything! I would stay again if I was traveling quick but not for a decent stay with my family again unfortunately.
