The suite was good sized, but our AC was broke from the time we arrived. We had to have them come 3 times before they decided it needed to be replaced but couldn’t be done until we checked out. It was humid and stagnant in the room because, of course, the windows can’t be opened either. We got the suite for the pullout for our kids, but they were forced to sleep on the floor around our bed because the room had a ceiling fan, which allowed some type of relief from the stickiness in the air. The bathroom had an ant problem as well, so they woke up with ants on their sheets. And let’s not get started on the parking. It is $26 dollars a night and like being in the hunger games. If you are lucky enough to find a spot, don’t leave again because it will be gone and you will be forced to park on the street about a mile away because even the street parking is taken. It was pretty much an awful back to school trip for the kids. This place needs to figure some things out! But, the staff was super friendly and there is continental breakfast which is always nice.

This hotel is in within a 20 minute driving distance to most popular attractions around San Diego. It is not walkable, though. Lots of amenities like Target, Trader Joe's and restaurants are nearby. The hotel room itself was fine except for the two interior doors not working properly. The one dividing the rooms was so loose it would not close and the one on the bathroom required immense strength to close. The breakfast is available with a lot of options, but the eggs and meat selection were ok. Overall a fine option for families, but could be a little better.

Overall, this property was decent. I was surprised at check in that I had to pay a parking fee - my fault for not reading everything or remembering but I still think it’s a rip off for any hotel to charge for parking. We were told by the very pleasant woman who checked us in that if we could find street parking then I could turn the pass in and there would be no charge. We immediately left after we dropped our bags off and when we returned we found street parking. We turned in the pass. This receptionist looked at my husband like he had three eyes and said well, you will need it tomorrow. So we said if we did need the garage we would come and get the pass. But again, because we arrived later in the day we found street parking. So, guess what? I was still charged for parking. So annoying. At the time of this review I’m still waiting to see what charges are going to hit my credit card. I hope the third receptionist did right by us and removed the charges. If they did, we will return as we visit San Diego quite frequently. If not, there are plenty of other hotels to try out.

❌DO NOT STAY HERE – ANT INFESTATION AND SCAM! We stayed on the 3rd floor and found ants everywhere—on the sofa bed, both beds, kitchen counter… it was disgusting. When I told the front desk, they weren’t even surprised, which tells me they knew about the issue but still gave us the room. Totally unacceptable. The hotel is also noisy in the mornings and the breakfast is very basic. The receptionist offered a one-night refund as compensation, but we NEVER received it. This feels like a total scam. Shame on Homewood Suites for the poor hygiene, dishonest service, and lack of accountability. We’ll be reporting this to Hilton and the authorities.
