My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very clean, and the staff was great and located in a convenient area. The price was excellent too, although I wish there were more breakfast choices. Overall, it was a great experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and bad. The room was very nice, clean, and offered a great king size bed, but there were stains on the microwave and a towel on the floor. Unfortunately, I was given a smoking room, and it smelled really bad like weed and cigarettes.

The service was mostly helpful, friendly, and very accommodating, but there were instances where staff made me feel unwelcome and watched like a criminal. There was also a rude call about having too much traffic in the room.
Location
5.0
The location was a mixed bag. It was close to downtown San Diego and amenities like Walmart and Jack in the Box, but there were reports of drugs sales and feeling unsafe. On the positive side, it was only a 5-10 minute drive to the city center.
Dining
6.0
The dining experience was inconsistent. There was a lack of variety at times, but other times there were good options like boiled eggs, oats, and fruits. There were also reports of yellow marks on towels and returned items.

There were some up-to-date amenities, but cleanliness issues were noted, like cigarette and weed smells. There seemed to be a lack of attention to detail in maintenance.

The hotel room was overpriced for the quality, and the noise from the neighboring room was disturbing until late afternoon. However, the front desk service needs improvement.
