If you're coming for the \"pool\", you will be very disappointed. The photos of this place are VERY misleading. The pool is the size of a jacuzzi and is filthy brown color, not blue like the photos. The place is very outdated/falling apart and rooms are TINY!! The A/C didn't work properly and we were hot and uncomfortable all night. Cleanliness was meh. Hair on the pillows and in the bathroom. Breakfast buffet was pretty bland and didn't have cream cheese or bagels or a pancake maker. The Lobby stunk like weed. There is no view of water or anything but a parking lot from this hotel. One of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at and I've stayed at a lot.

The first room we got at check in smelled terribly of mildew from the AC. Office staff was extremely helpful and moved us immediately when I voiced concern. The complimentary hot breakfast was pretty good. The room was clean, everything worked, no complaints. I chose to stay there due to their central location decent rate and ease of parking. Not the greatest place to stay and definitely not the worst. I would recommend, if one is okay with middle of the road accommodations.

Overall ok stay(2nights)…room wasn’t the best but it was alright. When I checked in all went great(quick and easy) they requested 50$ deposit (wasn’t aware it was required). Went to the room looked ok, it was missing wash clothes, the sink was draining slowly (I did notice staff, it didn’t get fix nor room change), room seem clean. My first night was good, second night there was a lot of noise in the hallways (a lot of teens running, closing doors, yelling) .

Our room was clean and the location was fairly good. However, the property was not well maintained. The ice machine on our floor was broken our entire 4-day stay. Bathtub leaked and when I say leaked I mean I could have filled a bucket of water with it within a few minutes. Blinds wouldn't close properly so the annoying light shined in. When we asked for a maintenance person, they said he was not on site. Eventually they moved us to a different room which was better.

If you are gonna stay here just letting you know room is actually smaller than in pictures. It is very tiny!
Also hotel front desk staff will make it seem like it’s YOUR FAULT THAT HOTEL KEYS DO NOT WORK!!! They didn’t even apologize for it happening.
We had to go to front desk to have it redone 3 times because it would not either open your hotel room or the front door to get into to building. Breakfast was good but it’s the same thing everyday! We stayed for 3 days!

Overall, my stay was pleasant. I really appreciated the convenient location, which made it easy to get to all the places I wanted to visit. The only downside was the breakfast selection — it lacked some of the standard items I usually expect, like waffles and cream cheese. A bit more variety would make the experience even better.”

Parking spaces were tight.
Rooms were OK if you were paying $80-90 a night. We arrived at 11:15am to let them know we will be back for check in later she said after 3 pm. I asked for a ground floor being over 80yrs old and Handycapped. The lady said she would leave a note to give us a ground floor. When we arreved back to check in NO note the desk man said and gave us a room 3rd floor the farthest from the elevator. We were told they served biscuts and gravy. No they didn't. They had thin round egg patty and sausage pattys. We were there for our granddaughters Graduation from USD.

Checked in the room and had a musty smell, then the A/C didn’t work, went to front desk, and they didn’t have an extra room, so they offered me a full refund or partial refund if I were to stay the night. I opted to get a full refund, but I had to contact Expedia. Called Expedia about the situation and they called the hotel twice at different times to get a confirmation but the hotel never picked up, both times!! This is so annoying and such an inconvenience that I had to look for another hotel late at night, and now I don’t even know what’s the refund status. I hope no one has to go through this. The communication from the hotel sucks. Stay away from it!!

The room was great, comfortable beds, clean, great breakfast however the so called “pool” was absolutely disgusting. Rat feces all over the pool deck and the pool itself is barely bigger than a hot tub and the bottom looks as though it’s never been cleaned. If you advertise a pool, please at least maintain it!! Otherwise the stay itself was great.

I chose this property due to its nearness of the bay. I bring my folding bike and cruise down on a trip for work out. The room I got was clean with good supplies soap, shampoo, conditioner, and a good working mattress and TV with cable. I never tried using the pool ,but it look like it needed service. I was more into using the gym right down the hall from my room. I like that the room had a refrigerator ,microwave and a bathtub , for us this is a must ! I enjoyed my stay at the Green Tree Inn ,as I was well rested when we left. I needed towel and the staff quickly brought a supply... nice . Thank you Green Tree Inn. :)

Room was nice, and equipped with needed amenities like small ref, microwave, coffee maker, iron & board. Beds are ok. But water pressure wasnt good enough on the shower. Breakfast could have been ok if the options differ on other days. Parking is quite tight on the area near the entrance to the building. One big issue we encountered though was that, on one of the emergency exit by the stairs opening up to the street has a rock wedged to keep it from shutting off as it only opens from inside, We're not sure if a staff or a guest did that and for what reason but it is a big security breach as far as we are concerned, see photo attached. If not for that, we probably could opt to stay there again next time around.

The location and price point worked for us while in town for two nights. Check in was easy. There was no one at the front desk on Saturday morning around 6:30 am and the lobby door was locked. The breakfast lady was helpful and the area was clean.
We hade a toilet that was not working properly one evening and called the front desk. They informed us there was no one on site to help and that they were the front desk and could not assist us. They need a better plan in place to deal with issues on weekends. Guests need toilets and showers and running water.
The AC was fabulous!

To start off we got to the hotel at 8PM and we were very tired from our road trip and the first room they gave us had a lot of concerns. The room looked dirty and there was a weird smell in there. My boyfriend insisted on leaving it alone but I checked everywhere and while looking at the window there was a big spider nest right on top of the window. There were so many little spiders everywhere! We went downstairs and told them and they acted shocked about the situation. They gave us a new room it was cleaner than the original room but there was still a smell in there that was not good. I didn’t want to go downstairs and complain so we just stayed there. The pool was tiny with no jacuzzi. The breakfast wasn’t good and it was always empty which would never get refilled until we told them. Also the parking was horrible as well it was so small and the cars looked like they would hit each other. People had to get assistance to be able to get out of that parking lot.

Seaworld, zoo, airport, beach. Staff was amazing and breakfast was sausage, eggs and potatoes. One day we had biscuits and gravy!!!

Basic, really basic hotel. Expect the bare minimal.

I got a room on the second floor and the fridge wasn’t working so they moved me to the third floor to a smaller room. The room was clean which I appreciated. Minimal amount of amenities, and sadly really bad pillows. My neck was stiff during my stay.
Walls were thin. A group of teenagers kept me awake until 1am in one of the nights. Screaming and slamming doors.

I had an issue regarding not getting housekeeping on my first day after coming back exhausted from a conference at 6pm. They said they only come to clean every other day but my reservation said daily. They completely dismissed me, didn’t apologize or at least acknowledge the mistake. They were rude and just said: “Well, the housekeepers are gone, and you made reservations through a third party so you need to contact them to complain” No accountability, not apologies. Awful customer service.

Breakfast was poor in quality and variety, except for the coffee. The coffee was surprisingly REALLY good, so I got my own food and had their delicious coffee.

Would I stay there again? No.
Was it the worst experience I’ve ever had? No.

The reviews on this place are highly misleading. Cleanliness was not up to par we had to switch rooms because the first room had hair on the towels and someone else's rubber bands on the floor, bathtub was disgusting in both rooms, showered with my slides on. Sheets and towels were tough and stained, there was left over trash on debris under the beds. Parking sucked. Spots were so tight, our rental even got hit during the night. Day staff was friendly, night staff was extremely rude. Will never be back. Pics of pool are misleading. Thought I was going to have a relaxing experience, but no, no bath, no swim, the two things I was most looking forward to. We had a wedding to attend and didnt have time for refund process and to find a new place, so we used the room to sleep and get dressed only. Highly disappointed, and I feel mislead by the other reviews, they have to be paid for and fake!!!!

The room was clean but dated. The toilet drained slowly. It stopped draining and we were unable to have maintenance fix it for 12 hours because there was no one there. It was fixed after our second trip to the desk in the morning (once maintenance arrived). The cordless phone didn't actually charge (because there was no cord to plug in the base) so it was basically a throwback to look at from the 90s. Breakfast included was hot and fresh. It was usually eggs, potatoes, and sausage patties. There was also oatmeal, toast, yogurt, cereal and fruit. Parking was easy. Easy location to get to. 200ft to the original Rubio's.

The location of this hotel is prime. It is next to major freeways and Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. We were able to enjoy good restaurants close by. There is plenty of hotel parking and the breakfast was pretty good. You get what you pay for. One down side is if you are staying on the far side of the hotel, there are no entrances, only exits. The only entrances are in the middle of the building or closer to the office. Otherwise, we loved how convenient this hotel was.
