Conveniently located

We were visiting our son and his family (mom, dad, & 2 young boys) who live in a small house nine-tenths of a mile from this Best Western. It was a convenient place to spend the night because our son's house is too small to put us up overnight. The motel's included breakfasts were good, and free Wi-Fi was helpful. But we spent the days with our family and didn't spend a lot of time at the motel. Weather was too cool to use the outdoor pool.

Perfect Getaway

Whenever we go to San Diego we always stay here. The rooms are clean, staff friendly, parking is free, breakfast is free, and perfect location. It is easy to get in and out and central to everything you may want to see. No this is not a five star hotel but perfect for a family on a budget.

Business trip

I stayed at the hotel on a one day business trip in the La Jolla area and it was very convenient and provided great value for the amenities. The breakfast buffet makes it worth it during the winter rates.

Heaven in a mini-vacation

I took a mini-vacation close to home and had the BEST sleep I've had in months! Staff was extremely and accommodating, room was spotless, breakfast was great and extra kudos to the young lady who helped me get my breakfast out the door. I would love to return again soon. I love that such a wonderful place is right across the street from my equally wonderful church!

Friendly, comfortable, great value

The staff was very friendly. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and had all I needed every day for my travels. The staff was upbeat and positive..... and a much better price than their competition!

Pretty decent

It was pretty decent and clean and the staff was friendly. I would recommend improving the breakfast (included) to include healthier food and also not to use disposable dishes, which is an enormous waste and not appetizing.

Good value, but rooms are small

The rooms are small; eventhough they are equipped with microwave and refrigerator, there is not enough space to spread out. The bathroom is extremely cramped. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good but again very cramped. The value is good for a couple nights stay; any longer and the lack of space becomes an issue.
