The hotel has a convenient location and friendly staff, with clean rooms being a common positive. However, there are consistent complaints about noise from the highway and issues with room amenities such as parking, AC, and outlets not working properly.

    Night staff was super friendly and helpful. Pool was way too crowded with non guests & water was cloudy! AC didn’t work great and ice machine on our floor was broke

    I really enjoyed the outdoor hot tub. This is a bit nit-picky, but I would have liked a wand-style shower head in the tub.

    Very disappointed with our room as it was facing the freeway and the noise was awful ALL night. Even a noise machine didn’t help. Possible rooms further away could have been better. Pool water was not clear.

    The room was clean but it didn’t seem like the hotel was maintained very well. The hotel doesn’t seem old, just seems like it needs some TLC. The beds were pretty comfortable. The breakfast was good. In town for a swim meet and would probably stay again.

    Right away, the woman at the front desk was very friendly and greeted me with a fresh chocolate chip cookie. I had a question about my bill and the deposit which was explained thoroughly and professionally. The room was clean, simple and very nice. Beware of a coffee machine, it seems like a Keurig, but it’s not intuitive. I poured more than a single cup full into the brewing compartment and it overflowed when pouring coffee. Oh well. The pool and hot tub were adequate, breakfast buffet was nice, I would come back to this place.

    On checkout day I noticed an unauthorized charge, was told management would contact me "today or tomorrow". Five days and still have heard NOTHING. I feel as if I was fined for reporting the mold. Great staff, up until management made it very clear to me that 1) They cared nothing about my family's health and the mold issue and 2) They cared nothing about the unauthorized charge.

    THE Worst, one of the hand towels inside bathroom had a brown mark on it… I wonder if the housekeeping changed any of the towels diligently. It is RIGHT off the Fwy. Convenient or Loud when the cars passing by all night ? This is what I pay for $200 a night. Sigh

    The hotel is super clean, smells really good, the staff in my opinion is short, there is one guy very nice and helpfull, the rest, needs more effort, the breakfast was ok but at that time there were no eggs, hottube was to noisy, the toilet was not flushed but they fixed fast, the ac was not working properly. In general mantain needs pay more atention. But again is a good place to stay because is very clean, and the staff is nice.

    We enjoyed our 3 night stay. Breakfast was great, staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and clean and the housekeeping team did a wonderful job. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of the smell in the hallways and the fact that the building could use a pick me up/renovation. I would stay here again!

    1. Check in staff is ok. Check out staff is more friendly and pleasant. 2. Room is ok. Just a normal older decor, but clean. 3. Breakfast is ok. Have everything, but simple. 4. Used the gym which was nice. Small, but all all the equipment and weights. Laundry is located in a room inside the gym. 5. Hot tube fits 5 people only. Didnt get to use it because it was full. 6. Location is right next to the freeway. You can hear a bit of the noise if your room is closed to the freeway.

    Room 302 was not great because the sliding glass door had a gap in the seal so at night we heard every car & motorcycle that drove by on the freeway. I’m usually a heavy sleeper and the constant semi truck and motorcycle noise from the freeway woke me up often.

    The hotel was next to the 8 freeway. I was unable to sleep with the noise from the freeway. The bed was comfortable. Next time, I’m bringing my pillow from home. The free internet was really slow. Other than that, there was no parking fee and free continental breakfast. Overall, I would not recommend staying here. I would look for a hotel that is not next to a freeway.

    Very nice sized room with double queen beds. We slept comfortably every night. Lots of pillows to use. Great sized desk and chair with another comfy, chair and small table. Nice to have a microwave and small fridge with a little freezer compartment. We put a cup of ice cream in and it melted slightly by the next day. Nice countertop and dresser with a ledge to put extra things on. The bathroom was spacious with a nice Rain shower head. Very good buffet breakfast with lots of protein choices, cereal, variety of waffles, breads, pancakes, bagels sweet breads, with fruits, juices, yogurt, and cow and oat milks, tea and coffees. The staff was excellent and very informed about the area. The trolley light rail was within a mile of the hotel. You can buy a Pronto card for $2, and for$6 more buy an all day pass to ride trolley/ light rail and buses all over San Diego. Very nice touch with an outdoor pool and hot tub.

    Room was in decent condition. Bed was probably comfortable for most people. I like a squishier mattress and a lot of people would like a firmer mattress, so it's a nice middle ground. The breakfast was good, room was clean. My niece took a shower in the evening after we hit the lovely hot tub and her shower was good and hot. When I took one at 7AM the water was probably about the temperature of a heated pool - OK for that but cold for a shower. I could stand it but it wasn't pleasant. I checked the temp again about 10AM and it was back to hot. I guess they need a bigger water heater? A tankless water heater? I wouldn't avoid staying there, but I wouldn't seek it out either.

    Room and property is very old with attempt at some renovations but still obviously old with paint chipping noticed all over. Our room was very dusty. Housekeeping serviced our room on day 2 and only made the bed...i guess they didnt notice dusty nightstands as both were srill dusty after housekeeping service. Ice machine on our floor not operational. Women's restroom in lobby out of order throughout our stay. Housekeeping staff took over breakfast area just before 930 with their loud conservations and locked door (while we were still eating), like this was their private break room. Wifi was terribly slow and I couldnt even get enough speed to check email, let alone work.

    The room was a very unclean black mold on the floors in the bathroom all along the edges of the wall along the edge of the tub completely. Unsanitary advertising that a hot tub and pool is available. Neither one was breakfast was okay. The only good thing about this stay was the gentleman working the front desk by the name of Thaddeus. We actually ended up leaving this hotel a night early and just eating our booking that we paid for. Due to being so unhappy in and on sanitary place. This will not be a place that we go back to in future visits to home. Really upsetting a lot of the times. Best Western pluses are good alternative to expensive hotels, but this one just didn't serve its purpose for us other than a warm, dry place to sleep

    The stay was fine. A few issues with the beds in the suite. We were supposed to have a king, queen, and full bed. We had a king and full bed. The third bed was missing. No pull out sofa. They brought a twin bed in, but it was uncomfortable, so a person ended up sleeping in the couch. Lurch counter under Keurig was very dirty. No body wash in the bathroom.

    The service and accommodations at this hotel was like how hotels used to treat their guests- with extra little perks and very friendly people working there! I have stayed at several in the area and this hotel far exceeds all the others in all areas for a very good price. The employees here were so helpful when needed and acknowledged you in a super nice manner. The room was spic and span and very comfortable. It has easy access from the freeway and easy parking. For me it is 5+ stars! I will be back next time I visit my family in San Diego.

    The hotel was great as well as the breakfast and front desk folks. Housekeeping and their supplies were decent. They never had enough towels and other supplies. We didn't have them clean our room we did it ourselves but it took forever to get the supplies we need and we even offered to come get them but they never had them or they had to scramble to find them. I think they just need a little bit more organization in that department. Otherwise it's a good place to stay especially if you're visiting East County.

So he told us we must have housekeeping let us in (the laundry room was in the gym and we wanted to wash some clothes from our long trip). There wasn’t anyone around to open the door so we had to forego the washing. A little disappointing. Other then that, it was an overall good stay.

    Do not pay extra for a balcony. There it's to thin to put furniture to sit out there and I don't think you would even want to because the freeway noise is so loud you can barely hear anyone talk. Breakfast is good, and staff is beyond nice an accommodating! Room was ok, but placement of the air conditioner next to the bed is horrid. If you sleep there it blows right in your face and there is nothing you can do about it unless you turn it off and boil all night.

    This is a pretty good option for an expensive area. The staff is friendly and the breakfast buffet is actually the best I've seen in a very long time (and I do LOTS of hotel travel), with some Gluten Free options. The property is a little dated but clean. Rooms in the 101-105 range (201 on 2d floor, etc) will be next to a very noisy freeway. A/C unit is wall mounted and loud. Bed is comfortable. We did get a strong sewer smell from the shower drain, and had to air the room out upon our return--not pleasant. Our room 305 was handicapped access and the pitch of the tile was wrong, which led to the bathroom floor flooding each time we showered, so ask for extra towels to build a dam. VERY friendly breakfast staff in the AM, with a menu that changes each day--all food was good quality, and the serving/dining area was very clean. Some covered parking is available, which was nice to keep the car from getting too hot. Overall this was a decent value for a highly-inflated hotel market, but it's not luxurious.

    First, the positive… the staff was very friendly and professional. We were warmly greeted every morning by housekeeping and other staff. Now the negative… the facility is old and shows its age. The door to our room always stuck. I had to hit it with my shoulder to open it. If my wife was alone, she couldn’t open the door by herself. The paint in the hallway and room were different shades of white or primer. It looked as if they were patched to repaint and then changed their minds and rehung the pictures on the walls. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling. The room temperature was either arctic cold or desert hot. We couldn’t adjust it to a comfortable temperature. These things that I’m pointing out might seem petty, but I was expecting something a little nicer. If appearances aren’t important to you, then it’s a great place to stay.

Cleanliness- this hotel places an emphasis on being clean. Love it! 3. Comfort- the beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable relative to other hotels at which Ive stayed for business or pleasure. The breakfast was good, there are restaurants and shopping nearby, and there is a small pool and jacuzzi that rounds out the experience. ❤️
