The hotel and breakfast were typical of holiday express. All the workers were very friendly and helpful. I didn’t like that your website did not indicate the $20.00 parking fee per car nightly.

I have stayed here five times now when visiting my daughter at SDSU. Fabulous stays. The staff is thoughtful and helpful always. Rooms are clean and the breakfast is very well prepared, with healthy options and, once again, the hotel staff in charge of the breakfast always asks if there's anything they can get for us.

Hotel was good. No issues there. The only reason I took one star off is because I was charged extra for parking. This should already be included in the price listed on the website. I find it deceiving to leave that information out when booking the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff, breakfast and everything great as usual, but the room was uncharacteristically uncomfortable. The bathroom was not clean (someone else's hair all over the floor, stains on the sink, etc.) and the bed felt broken/out of whack (partner verified this as it was normal on his side) making for I comfortable sleep. Again, not characteristic for this hotel as I've stayed here many times. I'm hoping it was a one-off experience and am still planning to give it another shot.
