Went on a Solo trip to San Diego. This location was convenient. Here are my pro's and cons. PROs: Nice staff, Free and easy parking, free breakfast, clean room, beds are comfortable and good price for the 3 night stay. Cons: Curtains were TERRIBLE. There are sheer curtains, and the blackout ones. the blackout ones only go so far, and leave about a 1.5 foot gap. Next door the business has Very bright light on all night. So even with trying to figure out a way to close the curtains, room is bright all night long, literally I woke up multiple times through the night thinking it was morning already, it was sooo bright. It was on bottom floor. one of the other people down the hall was smoking in there room, so on final night at 3:11am the Fire alarm, with flashing light and sirens is going off in multiple rooms for about a minute. Super frustrating. Although there were a lot of nice things about this hotel, I did not sleep well with bright lights all night. I won't be staying here again.

Hotel stay was ok.

The staff was great. The rooms are roomy but the bathroom/Shower was dirty. I had ants crawling on the wall and I saw a few baby roaches as well. The black out curtains only went half way. The elevator sounded like it wanted to give out but it worked. Breakfast was ok and parking spots are tight.

Not trying to complain, I hope it was just our room but it had a very bad urine smell and just over all musty smell (138). We came in late our first night and tried to deal with it to get sleep but there is also a pipe in the wall and you could hear every time water got used upstairs and or next door! We asked to be moved the next morning and could not be accommodated. The room over all seemed clean but if you understand Spanish it's so disheartening to hear housekeeping staff complain about guests. The staff was what made our experience the worst because the night we showed up the guy was so crashed out from being high he couldn't be understood when he woke and was talking. Then he was getting annoyed with me not understanding him because of his horrible cotton mouth and mumbling. He was rude and laughed about me asking why a card was not placed on file for a deposit and hold then payment at time of check out instead of upon check in? The breakfast staff were the only kind ones. The air conditioner worked well and hot water too. The microwave did not or was unplugged and the mini fridge made noise but was cold. Again, I'm not trying to complain due to the price, but we did not have a great experience due to smell, sounds, check in, and house staff. Therw is ample parking. Overall for price, it might've just been our luck.

My family and I booked this hotel for location and value. Easy to find and right off the highway. You’ll want to go around the block via Figueroa. Check your satellite images to see what I mean. Enter the first driveway right past the dealership. If you pass it, go around again as the next driveway is an exit only and very tight; you’ll get stuck. The neighborhood is ok. Very busy street but the noise from outside is mediocre. The rooms are moderate and come equipped with micro fridges and small microwave. There are coffee makers but I travel with my own; plenty of counter space for it. I asked for extra sheets and blanket and they arrived very quickly. No strange smells. The hallways are kept very cold so be prepared for that. The only reason for the 3 stars and not 4 is we had an ant issue in the bathroom behind the door. They seemed to stay to themselves and not a lot of them. Another issue was the first 2 nights of a 4 night stay the fire alarm activated at exactly 8:23pm. The location was awesome. 7 minute drive to Sea World; 10 minutes to Mission Beach/Belmont; 15 minutes to downtown at The Midway Museum. Rubio’s next door has awesome burritos which we indulged in our first night. Overall, we would stay again.

One night on my way to a cruise

A smaller room, but very comfortable. Everybody in the hotel was friendly and helpful. Basic breakfast was OK. A very decent price for staying in Mission Bay, which is a tourist area. I would stay here again. Thank you.

I had an amazing experience since the beginning, my husband and I loved the beds, the smell of the products (Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion and hand soap), everything so comfortable. The only down is the narrow parking lot, but everything else was great!

Really good value hotel. Clean and well run. Breakfast was surprisingly good with hot eggs and good coffee. The immediate neighborhood is mostly large car dealers but it's not far from mission bay and PB. The sushi place in the strip mall is supposed to be one of the best restaurants in SD.

Terrible experience.

We had paid for a three day stay and were excited to stay based upon the information online. We got checked in and settled into our (first room.) When we went to turn on the AC unit, it had ants all over it. We called and got moved to another room near the stairwell, which was fine. This room seemed more modernized and we were satisfied. We went out to dinner and when we got off the elevator, all we could smell was weed and that got stronger the closer we got to our room. This hotel is supposed to be 100% non-smoking, but obviously someone didn't care. Not that big of a deal, but unpleasant. Getting ready for bed 15 minutes later and the fire alarm starts going off. We go to the hall and don't see or smell any smoke. Other guests similarly confused. We call the front desk and are curtly told "false alarm" and hung up on. It was at that point I decided I could not stay here for 2 additional nights and requested a refund for the two unused nights, which was approved by Hotels.com. This was appreciated.
