You’re getting what you pay for here. They allowed me to check in early which was nice . Something’s to note the hot water barely works. It seems I was also put in a conjoining room which was paper thin and I could hear everything the neighbor was doing. Unless youre on a really tight budget would not recommend staying here

Disliked: Amenities
The room was spacious and it was partially renovated. The hotel is next to the freeway and thus it's noisy. Housekeeping is every other day. There is an uncomfortable metal chair at the desk. The front desk staff varied from very nice and helpful to so-so. The pool is out of commission for awhile.

Needs a little love

We had two nights booked but came back the second evening to find we were locked out. Took some time to get new keys. The curtains had some worn spots that let light in but our biggest complaint is the light coming in through the blinds, not room darkening drapes do, we had a logout on all night. The price is very good for the winter in San Diego so we stay here when in town. I love that parking is free

1st off, the staff is very nice. We arrived Christmas day and the young woman was cheerful. Everyone we spoke to was super polite. Unfortunately, nice and polite could not fix the issue with the tv. Turn it on for 5-7 minutes and then it would reboot. Sometimes it would not come back on at all. They did send someone a couple times to "fix" it but the issue persisted the whole week we were there. We were out all day & only wanted to watch an hour or 2 before bed each night, so the constant rebooting was frustrating. Housekeeping didn't show up the 1st day they were supposed to but once we brought it to the front desks attention, that was sorted out. The room was clean ish but sorta beat up and there were stains on the sheets. Whole room could have used a coat of paint. The best part was the location. We were only 10 minutes away from everything and that was great! If we ever go back to San Diego, we will not stay here again unfortunately.
