“Wasn't what I expected.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

I have stayed at many Days Inn and this one to say the least was not what I had come to expect. We are staying for a week and I am serious about looking for a different place to stay. We could not connect to the FREE Wi-Fi, bulbs were burned out in the lights, we had to pay a $10.00 a day parking fee in the Hotel Parking area. It is not very close to anything and you need a car to get to anywhere for dining or shopping. Would not recommend.

We certainly do.apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations, nor ours. Your review does not state whether you brought these issues to our attention, as we would have made every effort to correct both the wi-fi connectivity and the burned out light bulbs. As for our location, we are only two blocks from a trolley stop, and walking distance to the hundreds of restaurants in the Gaslamp District. Finally, all of the downtown hotels charge for parking. At $10/day, we are the least expensive manor branded hotel.

We do hope you will give us an opportunity in the future to change your mind.

“Very helpful staff, rooms are better than outside appearance”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

The outside appearance looks very unappealling. The rooms were much nice than I expected. Rooms were clean, large and had many amenities..small fridge, microwave and coffee maker.
Downtown location was okay but was rather noisy. Parking is an additional$10

Thank you very much for your comments. As an older property, we try to go the extra mile to exceed our guests' preconceived notions. Our recent renovations include new mattresses in every room, upgraded furniture and lighting in our Business Place rooms, a new Breakfast Room, and other little touches. In doing so, we believe that we offer an unparalleled value in downtown San Diego. We were probably the last hotel in the area to start charging for parking, and at $10/night we are still the most affordable brand name property.

Finally, I want to thank you for singling out our outstanding staff members. They really do go out of their way to make sure everyone has an outstanding stay. We hope to see you again soon!

“Nice touches in room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

My husband and I stayed for just one night and we knew this hotel was going to be old. We were not excepting much. What I was amazed to see was the personal FREE things in our room. There were two bottles of water in the refrigerator, a bag of microwavable popcorn and two health bars for a snack. These are small things but they meant a lot. The bed was comfortable and the view was surprisingly beautiful looking downtown.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. You obviously booked one of our Business Place rooms which, in addition to the bottled water and snacks, also includes upgraded bedding, a large work area with improved lighting, along with a new mattress (our entire property has recently had every mattress replaced). We believe that all of our rooms offer an outstanding value, particularly in the downtown area.

We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the near future!

“Nice Cosy room but require a car”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

Room is the highlight as it is Cosy. It has the feeling of personal touch. Staff are friendly and helpful. Car park available on the property at $10 per day. Complimentary breakfast is very basic. If you have a car then location is fine.

Thank you very much for your comments. We have gone to great lengths to make each room as comfortable as possible between new mattresses, improved lighting, and other touches. Depending on your itinerary, a car can definitely come in handy, although several San Diego landmarks like the Gaslamp District, San Diego Zoo, the Convention Center, and Horton Plaza are all about a 20 minute walk away, and the very nearby trolley gives you access to much more.

Our staff is eagerly waiting to serve you on a future stay!

“Great value Hotel in San diego”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This is a very nice hotel, the staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. The location is great for Downtown, the Gaslamp area, Balboa Park and the harbour. The rooms are well furnished including microwave and fridge and the beds are very comfortable. Some of the rooms have a great view of the downtown area. They serve a great breakfast in a newly refurbished breakfast room. There is sufficient parking on the site for which they now charge but then every other hotel in San diego charges for parking these days. The hotel is situated in a good area surrounded by high quality apartment developments. I would highly recommend this hotel

Room Tip: Rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor have balconies and great views

We are so gratified when a guest specifically notes improvements which we have made to our property. The recent addition of a Breakfast Area was meant to enhance our guest experience, and we are glad that you enjoyed it, along with the new breakfast menu. Thank you for also pointing out the new mattresses in every room. Finally, we are happy you enjoyed the balcony and view from one of our Business Place rooms.

With our central location to downtown, the airport, the Convention Center, the Gaslamp Quarter, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and everything else San Diego has to offer, we strive to be the best hospitality option for business and leisure travellers alike. Thank you very much for your insightful comments, and our attentive staff looks forward to serving you again in the near future.
