The room was nice & clean and comfy, however we were disappointed that there wasn't a working ice machine on our floor. We were on the 3rd floor so that was a big inconvenience. Another issue we seemed was a bit of a safety hazard was the showers. They were very Slippery & I Slipped. It was a very scary situation.

The positive was that the parking was fine, restaurants in the area were good, the check in was easy. Breakfast was good during the week, but only ok on Sunday. The room was a bit dated but was perfectly acceptable and it was clean. It is also pretty close to some parks in the bay. The price was also good in what can be an expensive city. We seemed to have bad luck on our stay there. The power went out one night at about 9PM (not much to do at that time other than sit around a dark hotel room until bed time) and then came back on at about 3AM (we should have turned the lights and stuff off since they woke us up when they came back on. We had a fire alarm go off one morning about 7am. We had a couple phone calls to our room when we answered, no one spoke. The elevator didn't work for up one night after we had just gotten back from shopping so that was unfortunate. We also found that the breakfast on Sunday was not as good as the breakfasts during the week. Sunday was disappointing by comparison. There was also a bit of a staff discussion that seemed like a disagreement while we waited for the elevator one day. Overall it was ok, but some of the issues that had happened did make the stay a little less than great.

Gross. Hotel has definitely photo shopped the pictures. Hotel carpet throughout is stained and falling apart. Furniture is damaged. Our AC unit front cover kept falling off even after the staff member literally kicked it to snap on. Breakfast was a temu version of holiday inn. You’re better off just going to jack in the box or McDonalds. Checked the bed for bedbugs. Luckily our room didn’t have any. Went to take a shower and black stuff came out of the tube faucet which is most likely mildew. Complained to the staff but due to occupancy was just told sorry. No accommodation or some discount. This hotel is a solid (1). For being so close to SeaWorld and the beach you would think the owners would keep up with the maintenance. Huge safety concern when the elevator permit is expired and has a 6 month old temporary permit. Damn thing sounded like the cable was going to snap when you get to the third floor. Avoid this hotel. Spend a little more money on somewhere else

They put us next to the exit door so each time someone went in and out we heard the door slam throughout the night.

First room I was given had a broken soap dispenser and smelled dank and damp. After I pointed out the broken soap dispenser, I was moved to another room. The second room also smelled bad and the shower curtain was missing rings. Even worse, when I tried to use the microwave, I found an old, opened Cup of Noodles—full of water, seasoning mixed in, stinking because it had been left in there for a long time by a previous customer—inside the microwave, meaning that the hotel staff had failed to clean the room properly before I used it. In addition, the time on both the microwave clock and desk clock were set incorrectly, demonstrating the lack of attention paid by staff to these basic supplies and amenities. Finally, the complimentary breakfast is of extremely low quality—I would not feed this to anyone in my family—you would be better off paying money and eating elsewhere. The only positive aspects of my stay were the convenience of the location and ready availability of parking.

I realize staying in San Diego is not inexpensive, but i dont think this hotel was worth price paid. The swimming pool was extremely misleading to say the least ... it was the size of a goldfish pond! They could change up the hot breakfast foods daily. Real scrambled eggs and sausage links or bacon interchangeably would have been nice rather than beans. a pancake machine would be nice, as well. Rest of the food was acceptable. Free parking was the best perk. I had to have my room key reprogrammed twice, which was an inconvenience. I will never pay ahead and make sure where I am going within cancelation time period. I did read reviews which were good, but ... I will say there was hot running water, clean bedding, and a/c was operational. I did notice the glass on the night stand and tv stand was not clean.

One section of there parking was acceptable the other section was hideous. The female at the front desk was a bit standoffish and other times pleasant. The man at front desk was always helpful and polite. They did replace towels or TP had to go to office to get them. On our last morning we called and they did bring us more than we needed
