Great friendly staff. They cleaned the rooms each morning replacing used towels, remaking beds etc. The room had an A/C unit that worked well on hotter days. There was plenty of parking (although i didn't have a rental car). My only complaint was wifi was spotty and unreliable at times.

The room was very clean, the mattress very comfortable. The pillows are not comfortable, and that would be my only complaint. Otherwise, kind staff and easy spot next to the highway.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Stay was very pleasant at Pleasant Inn. Rooms were very clean and even had house keepers knocking on my door early eager to clean. Parking was very tight is the only negative I can say. Hotel is in a high traffic area off the freeway so it can get noisy. Got the room at a good deal, the cheapest I had ever seen so I couldn’t pass up. Honestly, I can’t see myself paying more for the room during the peak summertime; room not worth it. Nevertheless, you are paying for a premium for the good Clairemont area, room cleanliness, and reviews from previous guest. If you can get room cheap, get it otherwise they may be better options at the same price.
