Not what I expected but a good hotel.

I liked this hotel but at the same time I didn't...let me explain: Check in was a cinch and the clerk was very friendly and knowledgeable. She had a great smile that was contagious. When we entered our room, I got a real shock...it was tiny! It was very tight and almost uncomfortable. For two adults, it was a tight fit. On the other hand, it was a king size bed so maybe it was an optical illusion...lol. The room was super clean and smelled nice. The bathroom was spotless. The bed was nice and soft, a very comfortable sleep. Once you get used to the smallness of the room, it becomes comfortable and snug. The hotel cleaning staff left us plenty of clean towels and if we needed anything else, they provided it quickly. My only dislike was/is the swimming pool. On the hotel advertisement, it looks big, fun, and inviting. The reality...it's tiny! Maybe 20' by 10'. I can swim the length in 3 seconds. Lesson learned is that perspective in pictures can be very disappointing. Over all, a good hotel that is reasonably priced, centrally located, with friendly staff and good service.

If you have some free time to do some shopping, both Fashion Valley Mall and Mission Valley Mall are minutes away from the hotel. Both have great stores, food court, movie theater, specialty stores and restaurants. I loved that the HoJo's was centrally located to everything.

I mean, I guess...

It was ok. Not really near downtown, but if you want to be a short cab ride from the hillcrest bar area, it's not bad. for the price it's not bad. it did smell like a smoking room though even though everything indicated that it was not. next time i'll probably spring for something a little nicer in the downtown area, there seemed to be a lot more going on down there. also, went to get some extra towels and the guy at the counter seemed really confused and had to go get a manager...i thought that was kind of strange.
