Going back to our home away from home

We stayed with getting in late from a flight and asked on morning for a late checkout which they gave us. So we ate breakfast and took a dip on the pool before leaving. We love this hotel we have been coming for 8 years ever since our daughter stayed going to SDSU. They make it feel like home.

Average hotel for a good price

Location was good, walking distance to lots of restaurants. Check in was easy. Property itself was a mix of nice spaces (hallway and lobby) and underwhelming spaces (elevator area and room itself). Room was pretty average- small but fine for the price, pretty dark inside and not sound proof but again, it was a cheap hotel. Had a nice size mini fridge and microwave. The sink faucet was loose from the wall which made using it tricky but no other complaints.

Great location, facilities. Just didn't like that there was no desk or table - so couldn't eat food in room without standing/ sit down and work. I also visited for 3 days and was a little disappointed that I was given a "side" room with nothing to see. If you're gonna spend some time in the room, then perhaps there are better options.

The property is in a excellent location. The bathroom sink is outside the bathroom, in the bedroom. The TV did not function. No maintenance at night to service. OK place to put your head down, but that's about it. Price is fair.

I liked cleanness of the room, helpful front desk. I didn't like charging extra $100.00 plus tax. I don't recommend if you are budgetting for the trip.

Not worth the price!

We stayed here for the weekend and were, unfortunately, very let down. I don’t think this is the worst hotel in the world.. but it’s only a slight upgrade from what most would consider a “budget hotel” (like a Best Western). We ultimately chose this hotel for the location and recognized that it wouldn’t be a 5 star experience and were ok with that, but the location just isn’t enough. The Marriott downtown was only $100 more for the weekend. Service - some of the front desk worker were really nice and helpful, always greeting us when we walked by. There was one guy, though, that worked in the evenings and he was such an unpleasant person to interact with or walk by. Never smiled, you could barely hear him when he talked, not professional… just sat on his phone until you needed something and seemed completely annoyed that you did. Additionally, staff was a little noisy in the mornings and this was frustrating, being on the first floor The room - it wasn’t the most clean, with the floors being particularly dirty. Lots of paint coming off walls, fixtures looking old and worn. The hallways also smelled and it tended to creep into the room. Very stuffy as well - if you didn’t keep the AC running always, it was unbearable. Other - says “onsite parking” in the listing, it’s actually 3 blocks away. Not bad for downtown, just not quite accurate is all. “Onsite” makes you think a lot next door or valet. Also housekeeping turned AC unit off when we were out. Made it extra stuffy

The room was very clean and functional, if not large. I was disappointed to be on the ground floor so it was very dark and maintenance staff was working outside the window, but the location is fantastic. A great farmer’s market on Saturday mornings is just around the corner, totally worth a stroll, and the trolley is also close.

Great location, small room

It was decent. Location was great, nearby a lot of restaurants. However, size of room was pretty small.
