The hotel staff was always happy and polite and very helpful. The continental breakfast was waffles or cereal and juice. Not my thing but a nice little bonus. The room was clean. TV worked. It was pretty comfortable, especially for the price and the location. There’s almost nothing around it that it has the same quality, affordability, and the staff were great. I will definitely go back.

Great location and free parking, but that's where it ends! I'll make it fast from start to finish: Lobby stunk, receptionist was joyless, couldn't open door, walked into a small water puddle, room STUNK, bathroom had rust and door was warped, the walls are paper thin (so the room next to you can literally hear everything you say) and finally checked-out with the same joyless receptionist! Won't go back nor recommend to anyone!!!

Place was a little run down, but close to everything, so it is not fancy but adequate. If you get in after 8 there is a side window to ring for staff, and if leave early same thing, Breakfast has limited food. I think it is a bit overpriced for what you get, but since it is close to Sea World and beach, that is reason for cost. They have date beatles that look like cockroaches but outside, but they are all over San Diego but they should have regular pest control come by more often. Pam Holloway

There were roaches, furniture was chipped and broken and there were roaches. The carpet was disgustingly and stained. The bathroom had mold in the bathtub, and there was built up dirt in the corners and on the doors. Not worth the $200+ we paid for the room. There were homeless people on the side walls and the stairs smelled like urine. Disgusting place!!

Booked a non-smoking room for 2 nights. As soon as I walked in the smell of cigarette was so strong that me and my partner were feeling nauseous. Asked the front desk to switch me out to a real “non smoking” they said they couldn’t and only gave me an air freshener spray to cover the smell. But did not help at all. We woke up the next day with a headache and checked out as soon as we could. Checked out a day earlier and went to a holiday inn! Much better.
