Even though the hotel was under construction, and certain amenities were unavailable (not mentioned when we booked a long while ago) the staff was accommodating. The new rooms when complete will be great (we just didn’t have a microwave or tv) So my review is based for future bookings. It will be super nice when it’s all done.

They are going through some extensive renovations and perhaps things will improve. There is no breakfast although it is advertised. The pool isn't heated although that is also advertised. Only two pieces of equipment worked in the Fitness Center. More important, the TV pixalates, the phone in the room doesn't work and the coffee maker in the room did not have a basket to put the coffee pod in, so that also didn't work

A very unpleasant experience.

I would not recommend this hotel. The property is under construction, which wasn’t mentioned when I booked. There was no hot water during my stay, and I noticed mold in the bathroom. They advertise breakfast, but there was none available. The pool and spa were also closed, which was really disappointing. On top of that, the entire place had an old, musty smell. Overall, a very unpleasant experience — I wouldn’t stay here again.

This place was so bad they definitely catfished me with their photos online. First of all, the entire place was under construction when we went, which was not advertised. It looked abandoned and so sketchy. There was trash everywhere and there was no free breakfast as advertised either. The room looked like a dirty motel room. There was a roach in the bathroom and the water was ice cold. No hot water. I felt like a terrible mom bringing my baby there. It’s cheap, but not worth the false advertising. Stay away.

And the same with the lady who puts the breakfast out. Other than that we go there because of the location and convenience. But the Manager he is great.

Ongoing construction, so it was loud all day, and I couldn't park near my room, but the parking lot was big, and many rooms were unavailable during construction. Staff made this a good experience. Breakfast was better than expected, with homemade waffles, cold cereal, oatmeal packets, juice, bagels, and toast.

Booked/Paid for 2 nights through Expedia . When I arrived the lady in the front “warned me” about being in risk of not having channels on the tv , might not have hot water , and the power might go off (which was not noted by Expedia) I told her it’s late and my daughter was tired. I asked her if I can at least check the room before getting it to make sure the tv works for my daughter she said no. So I had no choice of taking it . Sucks.

La Quinta was a fine substitute

This is a review for la Quinta inn, Mission Bay Inn was under construction and they sent us to their sister hotel, which was actually really great. Rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. Free breakfast was provided. Location was good only complaint was the area surrounding the hotel was a little bit loud. The quality for the price is very very good. Would stay there again.

Will be nicer after construction is done

Didn’t find out that they would be under construction until we arrived. Was offered the option of free cancellation due to the construction, but we needed a place to stay and had nowhere else to go. Would have been nice to get a discount OR at least be informed of the construction BEFORE booking. Also no cable tv (just antenna with 8 channels, half of which were like HSN or QVX). The construction noise wasn’t too bad in our room and it was only during the day, but the lack of tv was a real bummer. I’m sure it will be better once construction is done.
