Dirty rooms, unprofessional reception people unwilling to assist the guests. Electrical switch in bathroom broken with missing or broken cover, closet doors all out off tracks, night table lights had missing bulbs and others unplugged! Room access doors had dirt all around. Pictures available! Receptionist AMBER was rude in all requests of guest! Unable to turn a/c too noisy. This is not a place to advertise or promote on Travelocity!

La Quinta was a fine substitute

This is a review for la Quinta inn, Mission Bay Inn was under construction and they sent us to their sister hotel, which was actually really great. Rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. Free breakfast was provided. Location was good only complaint was the area surrounding the hotel was a little bit loud. The quality for the price is very very good. Would stay there again.

Will be nicer after construction is done

Didn’t find out that they would be under construction until we arrived. Was offered the option of free cancellation due to the construction, but we needed a place to stay and had nowhere else to go. Would have been nice to get a discount OR at least be informed of the construction BEFORE booking. Also no cable tv (just antenna with 8 channels, half of which were like HSN or QVX). The construction noise wasn’t too bad in our room and it was only during the day, but the lack of tv was a real bummer. I’m sure it will be better once construction is done.

Not enjoyable but a place to sleep

Tons of construction, besides that the cable didn’t work. I thought maybe someone had removed it and I checked behind the tv and saw there was a digital antenna. The digital antenna did not get any channels so I unplugged it and put on the cable wire. That didn’t work either. I put it back how it was and told the front desk and they said the cable was out due to construction. As someone who does renovations and construction there was nothing impeding the cable. I believe they stopped paying it due to less than half their rooms being available. They didn’t see the need. No continental breakfast was found and no extra amenities such as hot tub, pool, or anything else was available.

The mildew smell is unforgiving, the bed needs immediate replacement, the pictures are clearly taken at their best room. The only thing good is that I got a refund for my room.

This was my second time staying here. The last time I stayed was a few years ago, and I thought that it was a decent place, for the price. This time I had a completely different experience. There was major construction going on (it looked like only about a third of the rooms were open), and there was a lot of noise and dust. The room had an old carpet smell, there were visible trash on the carpet, and I found hair on the pillows. The microwave was disgusting--it looked like someone's tomato sauce had exploded inside. The shower drain was clogged and there would be a puddle of shower water as you are taking a shower. The sink was also clogged. On the last morning, while taking a shower, I found a huge roach (the biggest I've seen in my life) on the bathroom ceiling. I jumped out of the shower so fast and closed the bathroom door, hoping that it would not come out of the bathroom. I packed up my stuff and checked out a little early as I was too scared to stay in the room. The breakfast was also disappointing: toast, waffles (that you make on your own), cereal, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs (stored inside a refrigerator), and yogurt. They had bananas one day only, no other fruits. Not much source of protein. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm enough, but that was about it. I'm not sure if last time I had an exceptionally nice room and I had an exceptionally poor room this time, but if I was able to afford canceling my reservation and go to a different hotel, I would have.
