This property is incredibly run down. The rooms smell like terrible mildew (we tried two rooms-hoping it was a singular room problem, but-no, it seems to be the whole place). It’s the kind of smell that makes you wonder where the mold is growing. They advertise an airport shuttle but it only runs on the hour-even though the airport is about a mile from the hotel. The state of the facility is very poor-the shutters are being held together with some sort of large staples it seems. The pillows are lumpy, the door to the bathroom doesn’t close, the door of the fridge doesn’t close. The television was broken. The ceilings are thin and you can hear every footstep of the guests above you. The staff was kind and mostly responsive except when we changed rooms, the person who walked us to the new room didn’t wait until we got inside to make sure everything was ok. She just pointed to the room and hurried off. The hotel is set up like a hacienda, making going back to the lobby for help incredibly complicated…..stairs, walkways, door ways and an elevator. But, bottom line, the worst part was the intense smell of rot in the rooms.

Called around 1230 noon to confirm our reservation. Was immediately put on hold for 14 minutes. Then they picked up and hung up. I immediately called back and was told they were busy attending guests and put me back on hold. I hung up. When we arrived at hotel at 5pm there was a line of guests out the door to check in. Only one person was at the front counter. It took us over 45 minutes to get checked in.

I recently stayed at the Best Western Plus Hacienda in Old Town San Diego and wanted to share a disappointing experience during check-in. Check-in was scheduled for 4:00 PM, but when we arrived, our room was not ready. I was initially told to wait 10 minutes, but when I returned, there was still a long line of guests in the same situation. After nearly two hours past the official check-in time, we were finally able to access our room—causing us to miss a dinner reservation we had planned. To make matters worse, when a staff member kindly attempted to honor the 10-minute promise and assist me, other waiting guests became upset, creating a tense and unsafe situation that left me shaken. While I understand that occasional delays can happen, the lack of communication and organization was unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.

I booked a couple of rooms here, and this is by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The only positive is the location, as it’s conveniently situated in Old Town, if you care to be here. Issues include 1. TV had no sound. 2. Room key cards repeatedly stopped working, leaving us locked out multiple times. The worst instance was after dinner at the onsite Tequila restaurant. After walking down three flights of stairs (some areas have no elevators, which is not ADA compliant), we exited through a gate and had to re-enter another gated door about 15 feet away to get back into the hotel. We had to walk around the building, out to the Old Town street and into the main hotel entrance, just to have the key reprogrammed. Even then, it still didn’t work. After 2 more trips to lobby with bad keys we gave up. 3. Woken up at 6:45 AM by loud noise from a garbage disposal truck rucus 4. The hotel layout is confusing, both for parking and navigating the premises. Many visitors were heard complaining. 5. The bedroom had an old, rusty door facing a public parking lot, which made the room feel unsafe. 6. The property is not ADA compliant. Accessibile rooms are 4stories up. 7. The rooms felt dingy, old, and unsafe. 8. My significant other's parent's room was left open by housekeeping. We noticed this when we got back for the day at 6:30pm. This is ridiculously inappropriate and unsafe!! If I could give this hotel zero stars, or even subtract stars from their hotel ratings, I would.
