The additional charges such a parking at $28.00/day should have been included. This resulted in more than 10% increase in the costs of the room. Adding such charges, after stating that all taxes and fees were included, is intentionally misleading.

Room was big and comfortable, breakfast was pretty good. The room had coffee making condiments but no coffee maker. There is no bottled water in the room, you had to purchase it from the lobby. Lastly toilet paper was too thin, it felt similar to the one they use in portable restrooms.

Room was “generally” clean but as dated as this place is - should feel thoroughly cleaned. Old hair stuck on the walls. Time to clean the carpet. Need to wash down the walls. Definitely will NOT be returning. Not to mention we had issues with the TV… the maintenance guy said he probably just needed to replace it… he “fixed” it but by the time the problem returned, maintenance was gone for the day so that meant another night with a static TV. Two stars ONLY because the bed was extremely comfortable!

The room was clean. The staff is great and helpful. The rooms were spacious, and having a full kitchen was great. Some would say it might feel slightly outdated, but I like a retro style. Things changed since my last visiting San Diego (was there in 2009). It is not the hotel, it is the general experience as "money grab" somehow became a norm in California. 28 USD a night for parking of a rental car on the property, and it is not even a downtown of SD... Used to be free. But, again, it is the general impression from California, not the hotel itself. I would recommend the hotel.
