Liked: Cleanliness
The staff at check in was not very friendly, the area around the hotel was not very nice, lots of homeless hanging out in the parking lot at all hours of the day and night, and our room didn't get cleaned one of the days. When we went to the front to ask for more towels we were told house keeping wasn't available and they found ONE towel to give us. Overall, would not recommend this hotel.

Quiet great stay

The check in process was easy. I was already aware of the $100 incidentals so that wasn’t a surprise. The room was clean, breakfast was good and we had a breakfast ticket to get that. The only down side was the washer and dryer were broken. The area has a lot of unhoused and seemed sketchy but I knew that before coming to this hotel and they didn’t bother the property. There wasn’t a lot of noise level and it was quiet. The property is well kept. I’d stay here again when we go back to San Diego.

We stay at motels/hotels often, and this one has some above average qualities. First, they offer daily room service - new towels, etc. In addition, there is an attendant in the breakfast room who gives personalized service - making the waffles for clientele, etc. The front desk staff is friendly and attentive. The rooms are modern and tasteful.

The rooms were good, except the floors probably hadnt been mopped for a while. Our feet were black from walking around barefoot. Breakfast was ok. I wish they had more options. It was eggs and sausage, waffles and cereal.

Just okay…

It was adequate for the two nights of stay. The bed was very nice but the pillows on the small side. The room seemed to be missing the accent chair. The continental breakfast wasn’t self serve. No fruits, bagels or pastries. Not what I expected.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The desk was chipped and scratched. The room was certainly economy, at best. No pool/spa. The bed was hard. Breakfast was a tiny area that wasn't self serve, there was someone dishing up cold eggs and waffles like your mom who didn't want you to take too much. The room coffee was terrible. There was construction in the parking lot. But the air conditioner worked so I got a decent night's sleep.
