Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

DO NOT STAY HERE. We did not stay here more than 5 minutes and they refused any kind of refund on our 3 night stay. We still left!!! We experienced what appeared as people living out of the other rooms, my husband put his hand on an old eye contact on the counter. I accidently touched some kind of slime left on the nightstand. My son kicked an old sock and stepped in maybe some orange playdoh that was left in the room. The whole hotel was falling apart. They wanted $26 for parking/night with no gates or security. There were broken down cars from people living there. The supervisor was suppose to call us at 11pm and 5 days later we still have heard nothing. We ended up going down the road to a different Best Western which was the best decision ever. They advised us to call corporate because this hotel was known for being EXTREMELY SKETCHY and gives Best Western a bad name. There was not one other guest parked there other than the ones living out of it. DO NOT bring your family here!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities

Our initial room was clean, but the hallway had a strong, unpleasant smell. Fortunately, the general manager was incredibly kind and quickly moved us to a recently renovated room in another hallway, which made a big difference. Breakfast was good, with just enough options to satisfy both adults and kids. The location is very convenient—close to downtown, the San Diego Zoo, and SeaWorld. There’s plenty of parking available, but keep in mind that it comes with an additional fee.

Disliked: Staff & service

1. The front desk ladies were all friendly and helpful. 2. Room amenities were short: first night we were short of the conditioner; second night we ran out of the tissue paper. Frustrating. 3. The room facing the highway was noisy at night. 4. Breakfast was supposed to open till 10am on weekends. But they ran out of most items around 9am. And the staff pretty much closed the cafe around 930am, only serving toast and coffee/cereal. Sad...
