Check in was easy and room did have a stench in the room that never went away. Eventually I got used to the scent but my wife smelled it the entire stay. Besides that the bed was comfy and room includes coffee and microwave plus a fridge. Free continental breakfast was nice and not far from a huge mall.

The hotel and staff are all excellent, my stay was cut short due to local events causing almost all the hotels in the area to be filled so I couldn't extend an this was a huge disappointment, however the staff was very curious and even helped me look for hotels and gave me advice to better prepare for my next stay, all in all I would say this hotel was a 4.5/5

The hotel was nice and clean. The rooms had plenty of space. Willie was very helpful and professional. The only 2 complaints I have are: #1-there are not enough parking spaces, I had to park across the street at Starbucks on our 2nd night. and #2-the rooms do not have ample plug outlets. I think there were 3 total (and one was for the micro/fridge) but we made due.

First of all about boutique hotel is a complete stretch of the truth. When we arrived the outside was old cracked and the Stucco on the side was falling off we. We checked in and when I went to use the elevator, it was old outdated, and there were faded parts of paint everywhere. we went into our room which looked like a jungle full of plastic, dusty, dirty flowers, and plants. The room smelled stale, and it was hard to hear each other from the traffic on the freeway right next to the hotel. We decided to go and check out the pool, but we’re sad to find that it had a layer of sand on the bottom and the patio furniture did not look like it had been taken care of. We ended up going to the store to buy air freshener because the hotel room smelled so stale. When we went to go to bed, we turned off the lights and could see light , all around the outside door because the sealing of the door was so bad that there were gaps and bugs crawling through. The next morning, I went outside to get something from my car and noticed that every garbage can along the inside of the wall was overflowing with trash, and there was trash all over in between them on the ground. It was at that point we made the decision that this was not the hotel for us, when we went to check out, we were not asked why we were checking out early or how our stay was. It was as if they didn’t care we were leaving. We tried to call and get a refund and the general manager lied to us about who they were.

Well no one, I repeat, no one ever mentioned the terrible sewer smell in the area specially at night time, this was a special trip for my disabled kid and I almost cried when we started getting off the exit from the freeway and to the hotel, horrible smell, then we found and kill 2 roaches in the room, thank god we spend most of our time out and came back late on purpose, we booked 2 nights and no one serviced our room while we were out, I asked and they said they were short handed, any way next day at 7am we checked out, never again will come to this place hotel baja san diego.

This hotel looked way different than the pictures . Then the room wasn’t clean , has rough towels , and no shampoo or conditioners . The breakfast was a joke and disgusting. And both nights when we got back to the hotel there was zero parking . There are only 16 units and last night I counted 59 cars. We had to move the trash cans and park there . We told the front desk person but they didn’t seem to care !!

Stinky. Loud motors and car backfires in the night. Breakfast was mid. The room had a funny smell and late at night the whole area smelled like sewage. Likely because there is a waste treatment plant nearby. Beds are comfy and AC works well. TV lags out a lot. We were not offered wifi.

In it's heyday, this hotel was probably really something. It's a fact that the decor is opulent, although a bit outdated. There is absolutely no doubt that the staff really cares and they consistently go way above and beyond on any request. The breakfast is hearty and well presented with a lot more selections than you'll find in some of the more fancy hotels. You will not find a better hotel at this price point in San Diego. But there are tradeoffs. Through no faults of the hotel owners or staff, there is a certain aroma in the air. It's unpleasant but completely tolerable.
