Disliked: Cleanliness
The overall cleanliness of the property was lacking. Several of the floors in common areas were very dirty. The floor in our room could have been cleaner. Our sheets had a blood stain on them. It is a fairly new facility in which we have stayed before. There has been a lot of wear and tear put on the property since our first stay. The property is no more than 1-2 years old.

Unfortunate night

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed here for two nights. The pros: - The room was clean. - The staff were friendly. - Melanie was able to accommodate me with an early check in. (1:30pm) - Location was great as it was close to where I needed to be and also not too far from San Diego. The cons: - no hair dryer in the room. I called the front desk on each day and they mentioned they would need to find one but unfortunately after 2 nights I still did not receive a hair dryer - the lobby area and walkways have shown its age. You can see the wear and tear on the structures and there’s certain unpleasant smells in certain areas of the hotel. - nitpicking but breakfast was simply granola bars and packaged muffins That being said, you get what you pay for and I wasn’t expecting the hotel to be perfect. The cons did not ruin the experience of traveling to San Diego/San Marcos for me. I enjoyed my stay which is why this still deserves 5 stars.
