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.

Dirty rooms, unprofessional reception people unwilling to assist the guests. Electrical switch in bathroom broken with missing or broken cover, closet doors all out off tracks, night table lights had missing bulbs and others unplugged! Room access doors had dirt all around. Pictures available! Receptionist AMBER was rude in all requests of guest! Unable to turn a/c too noisy. This is not a place to advertise or promote on Travelocity!

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.

Not enjoyable but a place to sleep

Tons of construction, besides that the cable didn’t work. I thought maybe someone had removed it and I checked behind the tv and saw there was a digital antenna. The digital antenna did not get any channels so I unplugged it and put on the cable wire. That didn’t work either. I put it back how it was and told the front desk and they said the cable was out due to construction. As someone who does renovations and construction there was nothing impeding the cable. I believe they stopped paying it due to less than half their rooms being available. They didn’t see the need. No continental breakfast was found and no extra amenities such as hot tub, pool, or anything else was available.
