I don't have a "review" for this property. The front desk manager told me I was on their "do not rent to" list. I need to have my money returned since I was not allowed to stay at a motel that I paid for ahead of time. This was surprising, since I had stayed there in the past. However, the newer management came up with some reason, that did not make any sense, to not let me stay there...

Nice surprise that a Best Western would be so nice, clean, etc. There was a water leak under my sink in the bathroom, but did not cause any issue. I just put a towel down and told the front desk. Breakfast was very good, and the lady (short and sweet) was wonderful. Great attitude, smile and did a great job. Give her a raise!

Quick Stay
The room was spacious and the bedding was pretty comfortable. There were two dead spiders on the floor and the condition of the shower looked like there was water damage around the corners. The breakfast had a lot of variety.

My stay was ok, a little noisy at times being right by the pool and the freeway. The room was dated and could use some work. But I was mostly just using it to sleep, so it was fone.

Heater did not work until the night before departure. At the sink the hot water took 5 minutes to heat up. No housekeeping service on most days not unless you tell them. Ants on sink, tub, and nitestands in the evenings. Body wash was empty and didn’t replace it. Bathroom plastic cups didn’t replace any.

My son and I stayed 5 nights. We liked the hotel a lot. Very convenient location if you are going to Legoland. The Coaster (train) is only a 15 min walk. We used the Coaster to and from the airport and to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. The breakfast at the hotel was great! They have a different menu ev day which is really nice. The hot tub and pool were amazing- especially after long days at the parks! I wojld definitely stay here again!
