The towels and surfaces were not clean. Washcloth left in shower. It was loud - seemed to be no sound barrier between hallway or outside. Poor signage such as for hours of breakfast or location of gym. Front desk staff were very polite but always a line that moved slowly. Facility has great potential - layout and amenities.

Staff super nice first of all. But unfortunately we stayed one night and left when we were booked for a week. One of their best rooms they said they had was just not acceptable. Floor was dirty to the point are bare feet were dark brown on bottoms within the first hour. The carpet was ripped in a few spots. The couch we put a sheet on it looked so dirty. A bunch of ripped areas. We got there - no toilet paper no towels. There was a bag of leftover fruit in a bag on the kitchen stool. Went to go to bed at 11 at night and I’m sure the sheets were just made and not changed. Few maybe stains… but not taking chance and also couple of hairs. They did not charge me for the night which was nice of them. I did offer to pay something but they said it’s okay. I think most of the lack of items and cleaning was maid related I know. But the floors are gross and the couch. Needs replacing. To the point I had a shower, dried my feet and put on my new shoes so the dirt on my feet from the floor wouldn’t go onto my soles of my shoes. Bed was super comfy though. Staff was very kind and thoughtful. The lobby etc very clean and looks nice. Breakfast I don’t usually go down but my husband does and having breakfast only 630-830 seems early. Most hotels go to 930 I feel. Overall I would not stay here again until they redo some rooms. Which they acknowledged they need to. Didn’t use pool or gym as I got up at 7 am to tell them we were not staying longer.

It is disgraceful that I had to sleep in a room with cockroaches for two nights. I checked in around 10pm and found the room filthy, with no shampoo refilled in the bathroom and pets urine stains on the wall. This was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I demand a full refund or appropriate compensation immediately.

Older hotel, run by a family not professional hoteliers. I was kept waiting at the front desk to check in, no one told me why….even though I was standing in front of them. Non-existent communications. Rooms were basic, older and needed an update and/or maintenance. Wouldn’t stay there again, now I know why it was so inexpensive as compared to other hotels in the area.

A group of traveling Little League baseball players took over the pool area along with a amplifier and loud music for the whole evening. Nobody else could go to the pool and the noise went on way past quiet time. Our room was overlooking the pool and at 9:30 at night we had to move rooms. Management did nothing to keep these people quiet I was really disappointed because I have had great luck with other Sonesta hotels

I used to live in the Poway area, so know the area well. The location of the property is in a tucked away and quiet area. Easy to self-park at the hotel. Plenty of dining options & coffee shops within .5 miles and many more options within 3 miles. Costco is walking distance. The extended stay suite setup was very useful during my stay. The full size fridge and nice desk setup came in handy. Satellite TV and internet functioned well. The only area for improvement was the "Continental buffet breakfast." Coffee & tea were fine. But the food was lukewarm at best on the several occasions when I went down. And you better get there on the early side. If close to the 8:30 AM closing time, the food could be totally depleted and not being restocked up until the closing time advertised. The self-making Pancake maker had even been unplugged early too. Not asking for miracles here, but guests should be able to come down get breakfast during the advertised times and eat in the lounge area or take back to their room to eat while working. One girl in particular seemed to be non attentive to refilling items.
