Room was okay but didn’t expect much since it wasn’t expensive to stay here. The room ac worked ok but there were times it could have been a little colder. The window drapes constantly covered the ac vents.

The breakfast was very basic. Cereal, pastries, juice, and coffee. I honestly wouldn’t call that “breakfast” but better than nothing.

Parking was plentiful. This is a “you get what you pay for” selection but works great for someone on a budget.

It’s fine for an overnight stay. Room was clean and bed was comfy. It’s right off the freeway so area not pretty but was practical for what we needed which was just somewhere to stay for one night only on a budget.

I will never stay at this hotel again . They did not give us our room until 5 pm and the time to enter was 3 pm. Also when I called Expedia they were no help!! All I got was the run around! First person just said she could not help and give me the manager ( which I don’t think she was) . All she said let me talk to the hotel which they put her on hold for some time. As I keep waiting for my room! I also got a cup of soup and no water or spoon for the cup of soup. That was just the start of things wrong!!!! Expedia you should train better your staff!! Arthur

First time we had a bad experience with our stay. Room was not kept. Chair was disgustingly filthy. Headboard was bad condition. Toilets water kept running. It was a constant flow. Shower head water run was so loud. If we had a condition it would have been not such a good scene. Bathroom ceiling in shower area was dirty. TV control only worked close to the TV. We have stayed here many times and it’s the first time we were disappointed and unsatisfied

Terrible Stay and Unresolved Refund
I booked this hotel a few days before a business trip to Coronado, which also happened to be during my birthday week. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had.
The room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, was dirty, had insects, and there was no drinking water available. The vending machines only accepted cash, which was inconvenient. The worst issue occurred when I tried to shower and discovered that the water was brown and full of dirt.
I reported the problem immediately. Although the front desk staff was polite and tried to help, maintenance informed me that the water issue affected the entire hotel, so changing rooms would not solve the problem. Because of the unacceptable conditions, the owner eventually approved a refund after the manager, George, failed to respond.
To make matters worse, I was charged twice for my four-night stay. The hotel released the authorization hold but has still not refunded the amount I paid. Months later, I am still trying to get answers. George is never available, and no one has contacted me regarding the status of my refund.
The poor room conditions, contaminated water, double billing, and lack of management communication completely ruined what should have been an important business trip and birthday celebration. I cannot recommend this hotel.

No coffee machine the free breakfast is 1/2 box of serial , luke warm coffee. And a danish, that is not breakfast, snak may be? The deposit $ 250 assuming it's like other hotels it stays pending, when you leave gets released, Wrong. Instantly gets cashed. To get it back 17 business days, 3 and half weeks, mine took 4 weeks, if only 100 stay a week for 3 weeks $75000 of our money in their money market account, allows 10% of actual price for stock trading, highly illegal what a racket.

We use the room as an overnight stop before our cruise in the morning. The neighborhood was a bit iffy, but it was only eight minutes from downtown, which was still an iffy area. Overall, it was a clean place to sleep, but had terrible towels that were stained as well as a leaking refrigerator that we had to put additional towels on the floor, but for the price it is what we expected

Property was a little dirty. There was prostitutes walking the street in front of it when we pulled up. And so I was a little apprehensive at first, but if you don't go out after like 8 o'clock at night, it's a really nice property to stay at for the price. We stayed with our two young kids. My only complaint about this particular property is the shower didn't get super hot

He proceeded to say there wasn’t anything he could do about it and he wouldn’t check me in. I told him I wanted him to check me in and would come back after 4 which he agreed to. There’s prostitution in front of every hotel thats around there which we didn’t expect and we had our kids with us.
