We stayed in the room with two bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room. We enjoyed the space we had. Also the food options around the hotel. The comfort of the beds was good. We would definitely consider going back when we go to San Diego.

Disappointed

So when I called the first two times I asked him for a first floor room because of our dogs. We did not get that so they had to look for a room for us. Then when they found one we got into the room, the room was somewhat clean. There was things in the microwave and there was things left over in the drawers. This room was not very cleaned at all. They did offer us another room, but my son who has autism was already relaxing and laying down. So we just stayed in the room. But we did have room service come to the room and clean it. But I still felt like that room that we stayed in was not very clean. Plus that when we took a shower in the bathtub the tub just started tub, with water because the drain was not draining fast enough. I used to be a manager for a hotel for housekeeping. I really think that the managers need to look into all the rooms after the housekeeping is done cleaning the room. Because I feel like sometimes they are not doing their jobs. Because this is the second time we stayed at a hotel like this, and it was the same way. Again thank you very much. I don’t think we will be staying at this hotel ever again.

The stay was amazing. We came with our two year old and practically had the pool and basketball court area to ourselves every time we went. Our room was clean, the only thing is housekeeping is once a week so if you need towels or toiletries you need to go to the front desk. The breakfast was yummy and changed somewhat daily. The staff was helpful and friendly. Do keep in mind parking will have a $10 payment a night, I wasn’t expecting it since we paid for the stay. Overall it was a great experience.

Great location , close to many restaurants , great breakfast staff but be aware there is only once a week housekeeping service which is not mentioned on the booking. I asked concierge at the second day why room was not cleaned and they informed me it is just once a week , then they suggested me the option of light housekeeping which you need to request. I requested for next 3 days but no one showed up, I even asked receptionist but they apologized for being full house every time and easily they handed General Manager business card. I understand is not their fault and they have to follow management instructions (and even no staff to help for action). I was really greatfull if we had light housekeeping once during our stay as respect but never happens( even I wouldn’t mind to pay extra for cleaning since we were travelling with family). I travel a lot for work and staying in different hotels around the world but that was my first and last time staying at Sonesta ES Suites brand. Hope Management team/owner take these comments into consideration.

The Malones Take San Diego

Thanks for Hosting us! The stay was very nice as my family had a good time for the weekend in San Diego. The Hotel stay, although it fit our family of 5 comfortably, wasnt as cleanly as we could have wanted. There were stray hairs throughout, the sink was clogged (but was rectified once we mentioned to the front office),the body wash was empty, and the room was very humid feeling. There is also a $100 refundable fee that they didnt mention when we first came in to pay for our booking. But aside from all the critical points I mentioned, we did have a great time as the hotel was close to alot of awesome stores, restaurants and the coronado beaches (about 15 min)! Plus the breakfast was a huge highlight and changed per day. So if you are looking for a good place to stay for the price, this is a great option just dont be adraid to communcicate if you need something! -The Malones take San Diego
