The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were the best part of staying there. The breakfast was good and the free option was a good option. The room was spacious, but not very luxurious for the price. We had stayed at a nearby hotel last time in San Diego that was as big but offered a refrigerator and microwave in the room, and had better quality toiletries.

Everything was perfect! Lots of friendly staff that go out of their way to make sure you feel important. This was a large portion with how well and rested at I felt at the end of my vacation. I am so incredibly happy that I chose the Guild versus all the other generic, help yourselves hotels. What I mean by this is that they made every effort to open doors, carry luggage, open your car doors and make sure you are aware of all the services they offer. My room was attended to daily. I kept the room clean but I’m on vacation and love to have my bed made daily.
