10/10 Exceptional

This property was very clean. Staff was very friendly. Lots of parking very quiet. I would definitely stay at this property again.
Kevin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

excellent choice for any San Diego touring

Nice location with a waffle station. Only major complaint was the breakfast could have used some protein options, but still really good and well stocked. The location was perfect, close to the Marine Bootcamp depot and near the airport. Also close to all touristy events, though not as "walkable" as advertised. It is 35 35-minute walk to the base main entrance.

2/10 Poor

The AC did not work its a good thing that we were in the room at night. It was uncomfortable the whole time we were in the room. Th we breakfast was good and the staff was good too.
Roy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room is super dirty and sad condition.

I have used hotel.com and the hotels within this establishment. This hotel by far is the worst. I got some assistance from a hotel.com rep.
Sissie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not Amazing, but Definitely a Good Budget Hotel

The staff was kind, check in fast, and rooms were clean. The hotel definitely shows its age and could use some updates to replace worn carpet or the cabinet for the mini-fridge and microwave. The breakfast area was also much too small for the number of guests. So, I am glad we did not pay more for what we got, and I don't think we could spend much more than just one night. That said, the location was great! The room was clean and the price was excellent. I would stay here again for one night.
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This location is good for ease to get to the airport early in the morning. The room was clean. The hair dryer didnt work. The front desk customer service was okay. Overall the Convenience of this location is great.

Will not stay here again

Door was in not good condition and was not opening or closing easily. One of the nights, there was a dog barking for a couple of hours. We notified staff and it took 3 hours to get the dog to stop barking. I didn't get a good night sleep that night. I will not stay at this hotel again
Jose, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Older property, adaquate rooms, clean comfortable beds. Staff very helpful.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The door was hard to open because the key rarely seemed to unlock it. Breakfast wasn't great with limited options, not enough tables for the people staying and not enough room to allow guests to get to the counter. The rooms need updating as they look tired and tatty.
Alex, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Man at front desk was rude, no ajoing room with my mom that was reserved and confirmed! Carpet needs to be replaced!
Courtney, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay somehwere else

This place should be condemned. The room was nasty, the AC did not work when asked for a different room the receptionist was unable or unwillingly to help us. If it was not for refundable we would have left. The rooms were not cleaned, due to "ECO friendly policy". The photos were a cover for all of the falls. The keys deactivated numerous times. Do not stay here it is not worth the price nor illness that can be contracted from staying here.
Cesar, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in staff was great. Room was cozy.
Amber, 1-night trip

The only problems: Hair dryer don't work, and the cards for open the door don't work really well. Everything else excellent.

Man at the front desk was very rude! Request and was confirmed joining rooms with my daughter, only to be told the man in the room extended his stay, that he is here on business. Carpet need to be removed, they are gross.
Brandy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was alright

The stay was good but there were a lot of things that could be replaced. The chair had tears and rips in it. The bathroom door didn’t close properly. The beds were good
Crystal, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very old and outdated. The carpet was dirty. Walked in and smelled musty. The door knob was falling off and had a hard time opening the door. Key card stopped working and spent 20 minutes walking back and forth trying to get it resolved. Asked for towels and nobody showed up.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I felt that the location is great. There are several walkable places close by. The area is quiet and I felt safe too. The only down side was the pool wasn't clean during my stay so it couldn't be used. The staff was helpful. I love that breakfast was included also.
