The staff were extrememly friendly and gave me a free upgrade to a larger room. The breakfast was very good, there is a guest... More

This was a last minute business trip, and my friends recommended hotels were full. I booked this hotel as it was fairly close to downtown. I was pleasantly suprised. The room was very clean, spacious, fast internet for work in the evenings. The young family that runs it was very nice and even invited me in for tea one evening.... More

San Diego is a nice place. My girl friend was excited to stay in this place with oversea visitors in late Oct. On the second day, one of them found many large bumps like mosquito bites on the upper body and arms. They didn't know what that were so they continued the stay. After my friend flied back, similar symptoms... More

Rest assured, our licensed pest control company was called out immediately to inspect your room and surrounding rooms and they found no evidence of bed bugs. Please accept... More

This place was ok. Not great. Not bad. Just ok. The bus stop is right outside so that was good as we didnt have a car. Not much to do in the area at all. Our room was fine and clean. The breakfast was a let down. The female working reception was helpful, but the male the next day was... More

Me and two friends stayed here for a convention. We were told it was in walking distance, but quickly decided that we would not be walking. There really isn't easy access to much unless u drive or take a cab. The rooms are old and dingy. Even though the maids seemed nice and came in each day. We had a... More

Not in a great location...not near the convention centre or really anything. We walked back from the Pier...was a very long ways. Bus stops right out front and you can ride it all day for $1.50, so not a big deal. Hotel is ok, you get what you pay for. Lobby is small and smelled like pea! Really smelled like... More

I went to san Diego for Comicon and this was one of the last rooms available in town. The pros: It was a room, it had two queen beds, no bedbugs or vermin, it was mostly clean except for some water damage to the carpet by the bathroom ( a leak under the wall apparently) and fairly quiet. The cons:... More
