We have stayed here several times while visiting family and the hotel just seemed to have gone downhill. We checked out early but they left our stay for the second night on the books and charged us for parking when we weren't there. We had to ask to have the first nights parking refunded because when we got there parking was full and we had to park on the street. Also you can't close the drapes so the sun wakes you up in the morning.

This is a VERY no frills hotel! Everything very basic. The first room I was sent to reeked of cigarette smoke. They changed me over but then I had trouble getting on the Internet. The breakfast room was packed with screaming kids from some kind of sports team, and the vending machine downstairs didn’t work properly.

Check in was the best part. It was smooth and easy. Mattresses were old, felt like if we were going to fall off bed if too far to the edge. Woke up with bad back pains due to the bed. Called front desk twice for extra towels and they were never brought up to the room. Parking situation was horrible. Way too tight and small in the parking structure plus it was full at one point. My 3 year old son broke out in a rash due to lack of cleanliness in the room. No trash bags in trash cans. The breakfast was disgusting. I had to take my kids down the way to eat. We are not picky eaters, but the eggs were cold, seemed not cooked. Some of the fruit tasted as if it was going bad. This hotel needs a full makeover. Overall the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel. I definitely won’t ever be staying here again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely wonderful staff! We checked in with 2 kids after a long drive from Anaheim after watching the hockey game. Arrived a little passed midnight and they offered the kids fruit at the front desk. We got a suite which was very spacious and comfortable, I didnt realize that it had 1 and a half bathrooms, that was a nice surprise. The lobby was very pretty and they have a little centre with computers and a printer. The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. Many options from cereal, bagels, and oatmeal, to eggs, sausage, waffles, yogurt, fruit, and more! One of the hostess was such a kind lady. She gave us info on the super close beach Torrey pines. (A nice beach, shallow and close but a little rocky) There was complimentary coffee all day that we took up a few times. They have a nice parkade below the building that is key card access only and had an elevator that would go directly to your floors. The only down fall was the pool was pretty cold. My husband and son had to come up after 30 mins as thy were turning blue. The zoo was only about a 20 min drive from the hotel. Overall an amazing experience for our first time to the San Diego area and would certainly return to this hotel if we visit the area again!
