Rooms are small but clean...everything worked. Had microwave, refrigerator, hairdryer. Lots of cable TV channels. The 'breakfast' is bare-bones minimum: coffee and juice, generic mini-pastries, english muffins, toast. I think there was some cereal, but can't remember. If you need a real breakfast, plan on going elsewhere.

Since I now live in Ensenda Mexico, it is often difficult to travel back to the States mainly because of the lengthy border crossing. Now my wife and I stay overnight in San Ysidro the day before our planned trip into the States. This way we can get a fresh start. I really like staying at the Travelodge in San Ysidro because of its location to the border crossing as well as being close to shops and restaurants. I visit cheaprooms.com because the price is so much lower than going to the Travelodge website. Travelodge San Ysidro is clean, spacious, quiet and affordable. I have come to find out that most of our friends from the States that live here also stay at the Travelodge San Ysidro for much the same reasons. Most of all, my wife and I get a good nights rest. Thanks to the staff of Travelodge San Ysidro for such a good job.

I had to go to San Diego at short notice to visit a very ill relative for several days. I was pleased to find a great, low-cost deal online (through Wyndham Rewards), so I reserved my room for just myself because I was traveling alone.

The room I got was fairly spacious, with a king sized bed. The bed and its pillows were comfortable, the drapes blocked most of the light out, and the building was quiet and clean. As a result I slept well.

I was also pleased to find the shower provided hot water and lots of flow (although the shower head was placed a bit low), and the drain did not clog. Plenty of clean towels were provided. The bathroom had a strong (efficient) fan in its toilet/shower area, and that area had its own door that you could close and let the fan run inside that room. It's always nice to be able to do that. It's also good in case someone with you needs to use the toilet or shower privately without taking up the entire bathroom (including sink and outlets). The bathroom sink on the other side of the door had a large mirror and shelf under the mirror, along with a bright florescent light. Very sensibly designed and easy to use. The bathroom also had a small coffee maker that I used daily, and the maid replenished my coffee grounds supply each day as well. I'm pretty sure I saw a microwave oven in there too, though I didn't use it.

The room had plenty of light fixtures, an ironing board and iron, exposed wardrobe rack with permanent wood hangers, a desk to write at if needed, and a color TV with remote. The remote actually worked well and did not have dying batteries or damaged buttons! That's hard to find nowadays. The TV channels were basic cable, and fine with me. The carpeting was clean and acceptable, not greasy like some places. However, the floor squeaked nearly everywhere I walked, and I was on the second floor, so I felt bad for the noise any neighbor below me had to hear. Nobody complained, though.

All in all, this motel was a great value. Plenty of parking, professional staff, and located in a neighborhood that probably has less crime than you would surmise by the looks of it. The swimming pool looked inviting but I was not planning to jump in during December; that will have to wait. I enjoyed eating breakfast at the nearby Denny's, which is walking distance--about a block!

Our nuclear and extended family has stayed at this hotel (and continues to stay) several times over the past two years. We have nothing but positive remarks about the site and the staff. There are two sections: the renovated and non-renovated. The renovated sections ranks with the best. It is safe and clean. The staff is helpful and the food is par with the usual continental breakfast fare. Highly recommend it.
