Great location , close to many restaurants , great breakfast staff but be aware there is only once a week housekeeping service which is not mentioned on the booking. I asked concierge at the second day why room was not cleaned and they informed me it is just once a week , then they suggested me the option of light housekeeping which you need to request. I requested for next 3 days but no one showed up, I even asked receptionist but they apologized for being full house every time and easily they handed General Manager business card. I understand is not their fault and they have to follow management instructions (and even no staff to help for action). I was really greatfull if we had light housekeeping once during our stay as respect but never happens( even I wouldn’t mind to pay extra for cleaning since we were travelling with family). I travel a lot for work and staying in different hotels around the world but that was my first and last time staying at Sonesta ES Suites brand. Hope Management team/owner take these comments into consideration.

The Malones Take San Diego

Thanks for Hosting us! The stay was very nice as my family had a good time for the weekend in San Diego. The Hotel stay, although it fit our family of 5 comfortably, wasnt as cleanly as we could have wanted. There were stray hairs throughout, the sink was clogged (but was rectified once we mentioned to the front office),the body wash was empty, and the room was very humid feeling. There is also a $100 refundable fee that they didnt mention when we first came in to pay for our booking. But aside from all the critical points I mentioned, we did have a great time as the hotel was close to alot of awesome stores, restaurants and the coronado beaches (about 15 min)! Plus the breakfast was a huge highlight and changed per day. So if you are looking for a good place to stay for the price, this is a great option just dont be adraid to communcicate if you need something! -The Malones take San Diego

We drove all the way from Northern California. 8 hours or so on the road. We got there at 5:30pm. I went to checked in and was told that unfortunately, the room is not ready yet. The guy at the front desk said it will be ready in 20 minutes. I was too tired and said OK, that's fine. I asked where the room is and we can just wait outside. The guy at the front desk named Benjie told me ok, just don't go in yet because the person cleaning might be surprised. I said ok and he told me that he will call when it's ready. We were in the car for about an hour. It's almost 7pm and the room is still not ready. Which I don't understand since the check in time is supposed to be 4pm. So I called the front desk and see what's going on. But instead of helping with the situation, we were told that we were told that it's not ready yet. But that was beyond the point. We were tired and my kids are in the back seat. We were all tired and ready to get some rest. When I was checking in, another family came in to check in and they got to their room right away. What's worse is that the bathtub is somewhat clogged. The water doesn't go down right away. Ceiling is too thin that we can hear footsteps on the room on top. We've stayed at other sonesta and never had this issues. So always try to book with Sonesta. But this by far the worse one I've been at. I will never book here ever again. The only reason why i booked this is because the one i booked before, the one on Mira messa was sold out.

Great staff, OLD property

The Staff were all wonderful, kind and accommodating. The free breakfast was the best I have ever had in a hotel. The problems we had were all related to the age and maintenance of the building. The elevator was broken, as was the hot tub (we had really been looking forward to the hot tub!). The couch in the room was horrible with a hard ridge that digs into your back. There is a fireplace but no wood to burn (definitely not a gas unit), who brings wood with them?? The bed sagged in the middle so we both rolled to the center. Then, on our last day, the hot water heater had an issue and they required us to move to a new room, we had had enough and decided to leave a day early. Once again though, the staff was very kind and did not charge us for the last night, even though we were past the check out time.

Horrible front desk agent.

Check in was horrible. I called and confirmed that me and my 2 other parties were going to be next to each other. I was told on 2 occasions that we would be next to each other. Upon arrival that was not the case. When trying to explain our frustration, the front desk clerk refused to listen to our complaint. Instead he insisted on talking over us. He said “since y’all are complaining I’ll comp your parking.” When we asked if there was something we needed to put in the window, he said, “I’m already giving it to you’re for free since you’re complaining.” We proceeded to ask if we’d be towed or ticketed since we wouldn’t have anything in our windows. He then looked at us and handed us a slip to put in our cars.

This is a hotel for long stays or because you have family nearby, I would not recommend this to anyone travelling to sightsee San Diego. For what it is, it's good. It has a little kitchenette, a living room area, and the bed linens are comfortable. Bonus that there is a GoPuff shop walking distance away!
