The rooms were dirty and in disrepair. The smell in the room was horrible. And the front door have a big gap at the bottom. Front desk was nice, but I think they knew about the conditions of the room. Have to book somewhere else last minute, was a little stressful to star out vacations that way.

Stay somehwere else

This place should be condemned. The room was nasty, the AC did not work when asked for a different room the receptionist was unable or unwillingly to help us. If it was not for refundable we would have left. The rooms were not cleaned, due to "ECO friendly policy". The photos were a cover for all of the falls. The keys deactivated numerous times. Do not stay here it is not worth the price nor illness that can be contracted from staying here.

Door was in not good condition and was not opening or closing easily. One of the nights, there was a dog barking for a couple of hours. We notified staff and it took 3 hours to get the dog to stop barking. I didn't get a good night sleep that night. I will not stay at this hotel again

Good on-site parking and easy to get into room from outside door. Frig had a little freezer compartment which really helped my situation with making and packing lunches every day. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Everything worked. Door was a little hard to use and latched pretty harsh but securely. Tub valve leaked very bad (at least 5 gals/hour) but it didn't bother me too bad and apparently didn't bother the staff because I told them about it and they were aware of it during my entire 3 day stay.

The staff was nice. They won’t bring you towels after 3. The beds and room were decent. There was mold in the closet and around the safe was disgusting. So we just didn’t use the safe. It was what you pay for.

excellent choice for any San Diego touring

Nice location with a waffle station. Only major complaint was the breakfast could have used some protein options, but still really good and well stocked. The location was perfect, close to the Marine Bootcamp depot and near the airport. Also close to all touristy events, though not as "walkable" as advertised. It is 35 35-minute walk to the base main entrance.

The staff was very nice and welcoming. Our room was really dirty. The coffee pot has cobwebs in it and there was dust and dirt everywhere. There was also a chunk of hair in our closet. The room also had a musty smell that took awhile to get over. We were only there to sleep so it was ok for that I guess. We won't be back.

Very old and outdated. The carpet was dirty. Walked in and smelled musty. The door knob was falling off and had a hard time opening the door. Key card stopped working and spent 20 minutes walking back and forth trying to get it resolved. Asked for towels and nobody showed up.
