We booked this for our last night in town. The room was basic and clean.The breakfast was sparse, but it is across the street from a strip mall with Star Bucks, CVS, some fast food and Whole Foods. There is also a gas station on the corner so filling up the rental the next morning was easy. They also have an airport shuttle which we did not use.

good hotel for the price,very friendly front desk staf service and exellent mexican restaurant next door.convinient location,plaza and shops right infront of the hotel.One strange thing though!!!before you get your keys you have to sign the paper that you agree to pay $1.13 charge for use of the safe??? HONESTLY I HATE HIDDEN CHARGES CONSIDER IT AS NON FARE BUISINESS!ITS NOT ABOUT $1.13 most people just sign the paper without questions but if you do so next time they are going to charge you for hairdryer or pillows and blunkets. . . By the way i rejected to pay this chsrge and they easely remove it from my bill.

My stay was outstanding the room was great and the staff was awesome, Dobri was simply the best.Our Shuttle service was also great my overall stay was outstanding !!!

The rooms are clean and comfortable. I don't know if the rooms around us were empty, but we never heard any noise from the other rooms. The hotel shuttle to and from the airport,Sea World and MCRD was great! We picked Howard Johnson due to the location, shuttle service and the breakfast. We were not disappointed!
The front desk staff, especially a gentleman by the name of Dobri, was VERY helpful.

He was so helpful, professional, and friendly. We had never been to San Diego before and he was able to answer our questions, give us suggestions on things to do and places to eat. Because of him we ventured out to a few places we probably would not have. He was wonderful with my kids (my younger son especially) when he was telling us about the USS Midway Museum and how much he would like it and just telling him about San Diego in general. He took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything to me. I also observed the way he handled other guests and he was always pleasant and professional but warm and welcoming as well. In my opinion he went above his duties on a number of occasions. We would absolutely stay again!
