Needs a little love
We had two nights booked but came back the second evening to find we were locked out. Took some time to get new keys. The curtains had some worn spots that let light in but our biggest complaint is the light coming in through the blinds, not room darkening drapes do, we had a logout on all night. The price is very good for the winter in San Diego so we stay here when in town. I love that parking is free

1st off, the staff is very nice. We arrived Christmas day and the young woman was cheerful. Everyone we spoke to was super polite. Unfortunately, nice and polite could not fix the issue with the tv. Turn it on for 5-7 minutes and then it would reboot. Sometimes it would not come back on at all. They did send someone a couple times to "fix" it but the issue persisted the whole week we were there. We were out all day & only wanted to watch an hour or 2 before bed each night, so the constant rebooting was frustrating. Housekeeping didn't show up the 1st day they were supposed to but once we brought it to the front desks attention, that was sorted out. The room was clean ish but sorta beat up and there were stains on the sheets. Whole room could have used a coat of paint. The best part was the location. We were only 10 minutes away from everything and that was great! If we ever go back to San Diego, we will not stay here again unfortunately.

Loud surroundings. Pet Friendly but…
We opted for the pet friendly room since we had our dog with us. The room we chose didn’t have a price difference from the non-pet rooms until we checked in. The fee was $25 and the attendant said the fee is waived if you book directly through them. My wife asked why wasn’t the price reflected on the website when we chose the room type but she didn’t respond. During the night, we thought our ground floor room window was open because we could hear regular conversations so clearly! You can also hear the upstairs walk around, drop things etc. Then around 2am, my wife and I woke up to loud thumping that may have been a washing machine or other activity from upstairs, along with loud music from somewhere else. We arrived from 14hours on the road & were too tired/car-lagged to call the front desk. You can hear the noise from the freeway but that didn’t bother us. The AC unit is governed to not go below 63 or 65 (can’t recall). There’s no option on unit to keep the fan running so we could drown out all the noise. If they fixed all the noise issues the stay would’ve been more pleasant but we’re not staying there again. Luckily we booked a better hotel for almost the same price for the rest of our stay.

Staff was awesome, it was clean. But some stuff had rust on it which made it look unclean.
