My suggestion is it is better to say they have no continental breakfast, than to serve what they did. That way people can know what to expect and plan for.

Room was housekeeping clean. Meaning clean sheets and towels. But the was the end of the cleanliness. Bathroom walls dirty, and with mildew. Counters dirty, AC vent extremely dirty. Cable box didn’t work, so no TV. PS: Bring your own pillows. We were only there for sleep, just 8 hours and ran away asap. Not going back.

The place was cheap but it was an old hotel. It is right next to the highway so you will hear the traffic all night long. There is only one restaurant which is next door. Not sure I will stay there again.

They charged us $60 to check in early, so be aware of that. The room was ready, and my original plan had been to drop our bags and walk to SDSU campus. I had called before I booked and spoke to someone who said that was perfectly possible and there would be a locked/monitored space to keep our bags in. Turns out it’s absolutely not walkable to the campus or to a trolley/bus spot so we were basically stranded by the uber. It was a mess.

Whatever, $160 additional charge on my card (sign on the window said cash only deposit but then she took my card for the deposit so idk) and we check it. Vibes are off, desk person seem annoyed. Whatever, we’re checked in. Let’s check out the pool since our original plans are not gonna work and we have to wait a minute for plan B.
Y’all, the pool is a small backyard pool. Do not believe the pictures of this place- they are from 2013 (my daughter did some detective work) and they have to be staged or manipulated in some way to make the space seem much larger than it is.

We leave for the afternoon (no pool, eww); return to cards that don’t work. We had each taken a room keycard, both failed to open our door. Front desk lady is annoyed and admonished us for letting them get demagged and we can’t have them by the phones or battery or anything. Ok, old tech I get it. TLDR: keeping it in the little sleeve and in my wallet and my daughter doing the same- still didn’t work when we got back.
Out of space: hair in shower, bad bed, crud, no pillows

The person at the front desk was super helpful. He even came to our room to help us open the door. He explained that the door handle gets messed up because of the sun. Our room had 2 beds. One of the beds as a huge uncomfortable dip in the middle that makes two sleepers roll in together. The bath tub was a bit dirty. It looks like someone tried to clean off the dust with a wipe but then left all the wet accumulated particles. There was a mysterious stain on the decorative pillow…but I still left feeling clean after a shower. The pool looked clean too.

I am so disappointed in Hotels.com that they would even suggest any anyone staying at this hotel. This hotel looks nothing like the pictures. Forget about not looking like the pictures. The staff was the rudest. I’ve ever come across. We travel over five hours and wouldn’t let us use the restroom. Just down. Ridiculous rude, rude, noxious. No consideration. Need to go. Back to Customer Service. Will never use the service again. Or use any of these hotels.

The location is nice and centrally located to everything. The staff who were there were nice. The room was basic but not very clean. I think there was candle wax in the coffee maker, we found an earwig on our second day, and there were some stains and discoloration on the sheets that was pretty gross. The toilet was low pressure and we had issues right away too. Would not stay again or recommend.

I called to confirm there was a business center because the description stated it had one along with a photo of it. The young lady on the phone was not helpful and I had to call back a 2nd time to confirm. When I arrived there was no welcome or acknowledgment that I was waiting to get help or a business center. The young help desk agent was busy w phone calls and signing another persons paperwork. I had to ask if I could get help after 3 min and asked to use the bathroom. It took over 10 min to sign in and 3 times running my credit card. She had to call the manager for help which I understand she had no control of. I went to my room, it was ok but no tv and I wasn’t told if there was WiFi. I came down to the office and asked about the tv, it was out and there was none the entire time. I had to ask for WiFi info too. No business center. No TV. Not a welcome. The young girl was trying but just didn’t feel welcomed.

The room was just fine for what I paid, the bath water was hot and the room was cleanish. Many of the amenities listed were not available and that caused me much inconvenience since I’m traveling. There was no laundry room available so much of my stay was spend cleaning my laundry in the bathtub (during a migraine), no reliable internet so I had to pay for my own, and no ice.

When I first arrived the rook they gave me was not ready (dirty, beds not done, etc) then they switched my room and the ac was leaking, the coffee maker was dirty with old coffee, the room only had 2 towels and when I asked for more they made a big deal about it. The breakfast they offered was cereal, milk, coffee and waffles. We asked for room service and never received it even tho we stayed for 3 days. The ice machine doesn’t work, one of the nights there was a man out in the parking lot fighting with his partner and he was screaming and slamming doors we notified the office and they did nothing.

Although this property was not luxerious, it had the basics that we needed.
The locked check in door had me concerned at first, but the staff was friendly and helpful. We found the beds super comfy, fresh towels and sheets appreciated. (Some green hotels will not replace daily) It was hot and enjoyed the change. New flooring and paint on the bathroom door would help the appearance greatly, but the location was very convenient to SDSU (1 exit away), and parking directly in front of room was nice.
