We arrived early in the day and it was no problem leaving our bags so we could explore for the day. The first thing is that it really isn't near Seaworld. It's a $20 ccab fare away, so that was a bit misleading. The hotel itself was very nicely presented and clean so we thougth that was a good start.... more

Thank you for taking a few moments to review our hotel. Our hotel is located near SeaWorld, we are the closest Howard Johnson to the park, only 2.5 miles away. I confirmed with the taxi service that its only $10 for a one way trip to the park but we also do offer a complimentary shuttle that leaves at 10:00am...

We stayed here one night and I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the rooms were. It is very clean, roomy, and quiet. The modern decor was a nice change from the usual drab rooms in other hotels. The free breakfast was nice, not great, but better than most. The staff was very polite and quick with all check-in and... more

I want to thank everyone at Howard Johnson Sea World/San Diego Airport starting with the manager Jessica Rubalcava, office workers, maintenance, housekeeping, and anyone else I have forgotten to mention.

We recently stayed at this property and we were very very pleased, the property is older but the rooms are comfortable and very clean, great water pressure and the HVAC system works great! The staff was exceptionally friendly and informative, not once during our stay did we hear "I do not know"..if they did not have the information readily available,... more

I was pleasantly surprised as we rolled into the HoJo SeaWorld. The staff was friendly, attentive and helped us out. The exterior didnt look all that great but the interior has been completely redone. The location was great! We used the free shuttle to get to SeaWorld. The driver was on time and very professional. The continental breakfast was okay... more

One of my most important needs at a motel is highspeed internet. That was the first things I checked and Howard Johnson Seaworld stated they have it in every room. When I complained about it twice, they did not seem to care and gave me a Tec Service number to call for help. The internet service sucked and was for... more

We plan on getting things back on track soon. I understand your frustration. We do service our guest rooms daily from 9:00 to 5:30pm. We try our best...

Stayed the weekend after my son's graduation from MCRD. The staff was very helpful. Room was large - which we greatly appreciated with all the bags our new Marine had. We appreciated the computer in the lobby with Internet access so that we could get our boarding passes the day before our flight. The fact that the hotel was near... more

1/1 found this review helpful

Prior to the arrival, several conversations with the general manager (Jessica) were not pleasant. However, since we have already paid for the room and it was non-refundable, we had no choice but to stay with them. Overall experience, there is NONE customer services at all. The standard answer to any questions asked to the front desk is: I DON'T KNOW.... more

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our hotel. I do understand that you were upset that prior to arrival that you weren't allowed to cancel your reservation. You booked a special promotion that gave a discount but to receive that, you understood that the prerequisites were that the room would be pre-paid, could not be canceled...
