Great Price, Great Location, Great Breakfast!!!

This hotel was such a great deal. Their continental breakfast was better than most other hotels. The staff was helpful. The location was great. The only thing that was a little difficult was that since they were an older hotel, their ac/heater ran by the seasons. And since it was still winter in March, it was on heater, but the weather was hot already. So the room got a little stuffy. However. the front desk provided a little fan which was better than nothing. Overall great place!!!

Great location, beds could be better

We booked the hotel for our family trip to sea world. The location is the best not to close not to far, the transit center is a block away and reasonably priced for the price park ur vehicle u can buy a day pass and take the bus/trolley all over for the weekend. Old town square is a great visit and short walk. The hotel is a bit older but the price was right. beds are very firm but after a long day of walking they did their jobs. Staff was very friendly, and accommodating. The pool was nice and easily accessed by guest. I will be booking here again when we visit the zoo.

You get what you pay for

Upon our arrival we were greeted by a clerk. Our reservation hadn't arrived yet. He took my cell number and said he would call as soon as it arrived via fax. He was helpful with telling us a great place for dinner, right across the street. Great Mexican food! We went to our room to drop our things off. Next we took the short walk to try the Mexican food. He was right, it was great. The clerk never phoned, so we went back to check on our reservation. The fax was there, he just hadn't phoned (I hate broken promises). We weren't surprised the room wasn't big or updated. We were looking for something inexpensive for a night. It was clean enough for the night, but I was glad we were only staying a night. When we returned later in the evening the smell of marijuna was ripe around our room. Not long after we woke up the same smell lingered around our room. We quickly got ready and went to check out. There was a small place to order breakfast. Our waiter didn't speak English well, but managed to take our order. We think he was the cook too. Only one other table of customers in the place. Food was fine but the service wasn't. We paid our meal and left. Lastly we went to fill up our ice chest. No ice. We asked one of the hotel clerks if there was another machine. He sent my husband to the kitchen and the cook had him do it himself. We enjoyed San Diego however we won't be going back to the this hotel anytime soon. My husband reminded me, you get what you pay for. I'll spend more money next time...

Okay

I was kind of disappointed with my stay. It stated free Wi-Fi and it did not have it. When I asked about it, the person at the front desk told me to come to the lobby and I would be able to get it. I don't want to hang out in a lobby to get my free Wi-Fi. The rooms were very small, and the cleaning was terriable. Everything felt like it hadn't seen fabric softner in years.

Not a bad experience.

Nice low price, centrally located, friendly receptionist when we checked in, neat and clean hotel room. The only problem we encountered was on the second evening there when we returned after a full day at Sea World. Upon entering the bathroom, I saw three long, black, curly hairs stuck in the bath towels. I returned them to the woman who was working at the front desk late on the evening of July 8 and was promptly given some new ones. However, she looked at me as if I was attempting some deceptive maneuver... maybe trying to get them to lower the charges because of the inconvenience of having to return the towels. I would have been satisfied with a simple "Sorry about the inconvenience". Despite the great price, it might be worth spending twenty dollars more per night and upgrading to a different hotel.

If you have small children, they will absolutely love Sea World. It provides an enjoyable and educational experience for kids.
