This hotel fulfilled our need to avoid traffic and public transportation congestion to go to a Chargers game at Qualcomm Stadium. We stayed on a Saturday night/Sunday night for $100.00 a night. We flew a long way to get there. The hotel is close to Qualcomm and Grantville MTS trolley station. We walked to and from the stadium with ease. We dined at a Chili's nearby as well. There was a freeway outside the room and it would have proven to be loud had we not drunk so much beer. I would stay here again if I was going to a Chargers game. There were a ton of fans using the hotel for the same purposes and it was a great atmosphere.
The hotel met our expectations but I would not use it as a base of operations for seeing San Diego. Rest assured that there are multiple other options within the city or closer to beaches. Judging by some of the poorer reviews listed here, you can see that many transient guests used this hotel for city touring purposes and were disappointed. Although I question the reason why they choose this option for those purposes, I can see legitimacy in their complaint. So as noted in the title of the review, go for the game, otherwise make a more informed choice.

We stayed here on Nov 19th (Sat) as we came into town for a football game. Keep in mind this wasn't some romantic weekend kind of thing, but we just needed a place that was clean, comfortable and centrally located to Qualcomm Stadium.

I was very surprised as to how clean the facility was! My room was comfortable with upgraded mattress on the bed which was great. The bathroom was very clean, with no pubs missed by hurried staff. The rooms decor was current, but not over the top. Quite comfortable for around $70 / night!! Price even included a complimentary waffle bar breakfast the next morning.

I will definitely stay there again under similar circumstances.

We stayed one night 11/19/11, room was clean,renovated and bed was super comfy! Mini fridge/microwave was nice. Parking is close to your room which is a PLUS to get in and out. We booked 3 rooms for 9 nine people,so the complimentary deluxe breakfast was adequate and staff was helpful. Freeway noise did not bother us, it was some guests who had arguments with their family so we heard the commotion late at night. Heated Spa was open late at night, our kids 21-28 had somewhere to hang out. Our age groups was 21 to 51, and few blocks nearby Chilis, Jack in the Box and bars was close for us for to get some drinks and food after the Charger game. Good price for the money, don't expect fancy if you're not gonna pay for it. We just don't look for value but must be comfortable and clean rooms without having funky smells. We'll stay at this hotel again.

Outside of being punched in the head, this has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Let's start with the fact I drove 9 hours and encountered heavy traffic in heavy rain starting in Orange County, then found out where this hotel was really located. From the online description the hotel being near Seaworld and the Zoo I figured it really might have been, but it WAS NOT.

The hotel is a motel-style high rise hotel with a couple of wings. The front overlooks a parking lot that borders the very busy Highway 8 through Mission Valley. The back overlooks several light industrial business and a thoroughly polluted small creek. The only good thing is that it's close to the Grantville station of the San Diego Trolley.

The rooms were spartan, there were cockroaches (that we found on our food), and the night we stayed a fire alarm went off near midnight and wasn't shut off for over 35 minutes. We had such a miserable experience in a toxic creek view room that we checked out early even though we'd paid and drove speedily to a nice boutique hotel downtown.
