This is a hotel for long stays or because you have family nearby, I would not recommend this to anyone travelling to sightsee San Diego. For what it is, it's good. It has a little kitchenette, a living room area, and the bed linens are comfortable. Bonus that there is a GoPuff shop walking distance away!

Overall a nice room

This was in a good location. Close to a lot of shops and restaurants. The room layout is nice and has a kitchen. The room could use a deeper clean like wipe down of walls and behind furniture but overall good. The biggest reason I gave a lower star rating is that we literally got stuck in our room due to a malfunctioning door. Maintenance had to get us out. The front desk seemed apologetic but it was a pretty huge issue.

No room

I cannot rate my stay because they didn’t have a room available for me and wanted to send me across town to somewhere else so I stayed somewhere else. Will never use this hotel brand again.

I didn't want to leave! The little apartment had everything I could have ever needed-- just amazing. It was immaculate, and I mean truly immaculate. The manager was professional and friendly when I had a couple of questions. Free breakfast was terrific. They allowed my cat and for that I was very grateful (there are fees!). I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

It was ok.

The tub filled with water and took a while to drain while showering. There was no linen for the sofa bed and I had to go down to the front desk to get everything needed. The sink in the kitchen also backed up and was slow to drain. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable.

Will not return.

The first room we were given had ants in the bathroom and the couch mattress had stains all over it. They eventually gave us another room. This second room had a broken air conditioner, the kitchen floor was sticky, and the bathtub did not drain well. When I called for the bedding to the pull out, they told me I needed to come down to reception to get it. Did not feel comfortable my entire stay.
