“not family firendly location”

This hotel is in bad repair, not continental breakfast as advertised and the restaurant on premise does not have kid friendly options, and increases prices for quests. The pool is in poor repair , the tables and loughe chairs are coated with polution, car exhaust the towels were black before we could use them. manager unwilling to change or compensate for loud rattling air conditioning, restaurant vouchers or the damage to our towels and clothing from poolside filth.

“In the Middle of it all.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

We could only stay one night in this up-scale Quality Inn. It is close to it all. A short cab ride from the Airport. (less than $10) Within a short bus ride to Old Town and connections to the San Diego Trolley and the international border. And all sorts of shopping tourist activities. Who needs a car? The room was very clean and quiet. The hosts were helpful and we enjoyed chatting with them.

This property is a six story building with wide well lit hallways and two elevators. It seemed that the elevator was always there within a minuet or two. Because we had our car with us we were glad to see that they off street underground parking that was secure.

Room Tip: The bay view rooms above the 4th floor are the best and I suspect most quiet.

“Very uncomfortable beds!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011 via mobile

Pretty mediocre hotel. Worst part was the sagging matresses. Woke up with a terrible backache! The hotel could definitely use some upgrading. Only reason we were there was because we bought on hotwire. Won't do that again!

“Poor customer service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We had made reservations to stay at this hotel, but when we arrived, we found out that the reservation did not include a request for adjoining rooms. The hotel manager told us that the parent company, Choice Hotels, does not forward any requests even though there is a box on the reservation page for requests. We ended up talking to someone from "corporate" who admitted that they made the mistake, but all they could do was put us in another hotel, 1- miles from where we wanted to be, at a much higher rate. They would not even give us the same rate. The lack of customer service and satisfaction that we experienced from Choice Hotels is appalling. We will NEVER stay in a Choice Hotel again.

“So you thought you'd get what you paid for did you?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

Arrived at this hotel for a 3 night stay which I got cheap on the secret hotel option on Travelocity. The secret is I paid too much, not really, I guess it was worth $79, maybe. First was the check-in, a woman who talked entirely too much took almost 20 minutes to check us in to two pre-paid rooms and much to my surprise there is a $7 per night charge to park your car!!! When I asked why I was told it was because they were close to the airport. I was then told the restaurant had been shut down a couple days earlier and there would be only donuts instead of the usual "continental breakfast"....hmmm......do I think of the Health Department???

The beds are clean and the view of the bay is on the 5th and 6th floor maybe NOT on the 4th or below. I noticed they sold the bay view as an extra so thought I'd mention something. The ice maker on the 5th floor was broken and the one by the pool dispensed ice 1 cube at a time, drop on make on drop one make one. Gave me time to look at the pool that changed colors at night and was very cloudy during the day. The room service made the bed. and emptied the trash cans, that's it, no replacement coffee, no replacement wash clothes or towels, the old paper coffee cups were left where they lay. No replacements, I wanted some water so I went looking for an ATM and was told rather sarcastically " we are located right behind a bank" so I walked to the bank for cash, then I had to ask for change, the woman didn't have access to the "drawer" so the older gentleman had to look, of course we were interuping him from his trip to where ever he was so we did have to wait.......ok no change......go to the bar Railey's very loud techno music, very nice bartenders and younger 20's people dressed to the nine's ready to party, they did look like thugs but we didn't feel threatened however I was glad the car was parked in the garage, which by the way had a gate that was closed once and nobody seems to be responsible for opening it, I guess that is why it was only closed once.

Overall, it was OK but a constant joke. The halls smell like something I can't put my finger on. The bedding was clean, no bugs. The rooms, not so much, the service, not so much, did I mention after all that trouble the bottle of water was $2 and finally the biggest laugh was the paint job, our room door and the bathroom door were painted a dark maroon, only one coat, kinda like a 4 yr old did it. Cheap, broken and not so clean, I'd prefer the Motel 6 for the price.

Room Tip: Use the secret room options to book this hotel, if you pay $120 you will be dissapointed.
