Reviews
The hotel is in a convenient location, close to beaches and major attractions. The staff is generally friendly and helpful. However, the property is outdated and in need of repairs, with cleanliness being a major concern for some guests.

The outside was more beat up than I expected. The inside was nice except the floor was filthy (dirty feet). The pool and hot tub were okay but not great. The whole hotel definitely looked nicer in the pictures than it was.

I am allergic to gluten and the only non-gluten option was hard boiled eggs (in a slightly yellowed water), and plain yogurt. There were a lot of work trucks that made the parking lot almost impassable. The lanes may need to be wider, or there should be a specified area for these trucks to park.

Avoid this property. I booked this property based on the reviews I had read on Expedia. We'll those positive reviews are misleading. This property is awful. 1st off the staff is unresponsive and needs to be retrained in customer service. Our hair dryer didn't work. When my wife went to ask for a new one she was told no. Another person staying in another room gave us theirs. Secondly, the room smelled like cigarette smoke. For a non-smoking room it smelled like someone regularly smokes in there. Third there were ants in the sink and on the counter. And 4th and most disgusting on our last morning a roach the size of a silver dollar was in our bathroom. The breakfast that they advertise as having waffles and eggs didn't. Just hard boiled eggs in a plastic container already peeled collecting germs. All in all a horrible experience. We will never frequent tjis location again. And I encourage Expedia to remove this location from there offerings.

The breakfast was sub par... only continental and usually we have full breakfasts at Best Westerns in the past. Although I understood the "graduation" reason (since that is why we were staying there!) I felt that regardless, room cleaning etc. should have been performed. My biggest issue is that the hotels now charge extra for "possible damages" and then say it could take 7 to 10 days to get that $100 back on our card. Ridiculous!!! (but ours was already not taken out when the charge went through).

Although there appeared to be ample vacant rooms they initially gave us a room next to their laundry room. It was VERY noisy through the wall. When I requested a room change away from noise they handled it reluctantly as if it was a big burden. I would not return to that motel.

We picked this hotel because of the continental breakfast. At 9 o’clock we called the front desk and asked when it was over. They said 10 o’clock. At 9:15am we went down and they were cleaning up breakfast already. My boyfriend called cereal and had to ask for the milk to be brought back out so he could have milk in it. Then the spoons were removed and he had to ask for a spoon. It was ridiculous. There was 45 more minutes left of breakfast and they were cleaning it up and taking away things as we were trying to get things that they were toast, cereal, and and juice. and they were rude about it.

But the bed sheets had a bit of a brown Stains it grossed me out, as if the washer didn’t wash it correctly and deeply. We didn’t use it over night but was replaced the next day But overall the stay was good no other issues besides that. The pool and jacuzzi were good. The staff were good.

There was lots of parking and the staff was friendly at checkin. The breakfast was less than desirable. The cleaner smell was so strong that it was overwhelming and I could still taste it in my mouth long after leaving the area. There was also a fly trapped in the hard boiled egg compartment. The whole breakfast experience gave me the ick. The facilities were otherwise good and the bed was very comfortable.

We were impressed! The locations was fantastic! (The metro train near by was quiet and we never heard it!) quick access to the bay and beaches. The beds were super soft and cozy like a cloud. AC worked great. Everything was clean and nicely renovated. It was so affordable we expected it to be low quality but it was great! We loved it! We stayed in the king deluxe for the whole weekend and will definitely be staying here again.

Isn’t very walkable but close to Mission Bay Park.

For the price the hotel was good. They accommodated an early check in which we greatly appreciated. They were under staffed so our room didn’t get cleaned as we are Canadians and didn’t receive the text notification they sent out not sure why which was frustrating as we have young kids and we needed fresh towels. Which they have a shortage of because they are fully booked that being said it is spring break time so I’m not upset they did give us towels when I went and asked. The breakfast was ok not hot but good enough for what we needed. Kids enjoyed the pool, overall decent just not a 5 star full experience, I would stay again.

Our room was very nice. We had a king bed with a sofa. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. It had a nice sized mini fridge and a microwave. The continental breakfast was basic. Toast, 2 kinds of cereal, a yogurt machine, packaged pastries, cold hard boiled eggs, bananas and oranges and four different juices. A pitcher of milk was there too. The pool and hot tub are small but nice. Finding it was a little difficult as you can't see the hotel. There is a Best Western sign on the back of the bldg. but figuring out how to get in took a while. I would suggest they add Best Western signs with arrows at the 2 entrances. Their only ice machine was broke for part of our stay. When we spent any time in the room I noticed the bottom of my feet and my husbands socks would get very dirty. I took a bath towel and cleaned parts of the dirty floor. It looked clean but was not. I mentioned it in the office and was told they do mop the floors but think that the black top parking lot was causing the dirty floors.

Julio from the front desk was helpful ; housekeeping needs to know if you want the room to be cleaned before noon ; room & toilet were clean ( toiletries without lotion ) and the furnitures and lighting looked newer ; bed was comfortable , has 1 elevator but did not mind using the staircase ( we were on the 3rd floor ; good lighting at night ; did not avail the unheated pool or the heated jacuzzi ; the staff for the breakfast were attentive ; nothing fancy with BF ( bread/bagel/cereal/yogurt/fruit/hard boiled eggs/juices/coffee/tea/oatmeal/milk/fruit(s) but it was enough for me ; room key needed to get in to the BF nook ; very convenient location for HWY 5 ( on/off ramp ) , across a gas station , valvoline, car wash and 7/11 store.

This place is a renovated motel (doors on the outside). The outside is pretty dingy, but the rooms have nicer feel. The breakfast is virtually nothing. Nothing warm and the only protein are some hard-boiled eggs. Not even the little waffle maker my son looks forward to. Room looked clean but my wife saw what looked like a booger on one of the towels. With this place I chose…poorly.

I stayed for a weekend in March, there is a smell on the property particularly in the bathroom. The staff seemed under staffed no hospitality. During the stay someone vomited in the elvator and no sign. You can hear nieghbors and outside noise. Parking is very tight. I did like the mirror in my room. The TV did not switch to the guide so kind of annoying over all a decline but seems to be down Hill for SD

the location the place is dirty and noisy -- impossible to get any rest with the slamming of the breakfast room door by their closing mechanism - I mentioned this to management who were not concerned and said" best western makes us do it" . the walk ways were filled with dirt and smashed marijuana cigs that were left sitting for days _ It has all the making of a slum : noisy, dirty, not worth th money payed and management with little concern.

The hotel was worn from the outside… pool didn’t have many chairs or lounge chairs, not much shade and in the middle of parking lot!! We had to move rooms because of a leak in the ceiling ….we were moved with no problem. A couple of small things, no ice in the ice machine(very dirty) and no shampoo in the dispenser.

I only encountered one staff member with customer service my whole stay. Every other member definitely needs to work on that. I’m not expecting 5 start service but a greeting at least instead of being looked at like I wanted into the front door of their house is crazy. The breakfast was pretty bleak so if you’re relying on that, go ahead and skip. I wanted my sheets changed because my daughter peed on the bed and nobody showed up for three days so that’s cool, even for regular house keeping, I tested with a card under the sheets to see if maybe they would get changed and no. But if you’re looking for just somewhere to sleep, shower, and change, it’s definitely a good hotel for that. And a pretty decent location, about 10-15 minutes from everything! I would stay again if I was traveling quick but not for a decent stay with my family again unfortunately.

I had to stay in the hotel for 2 weeks while my dad was recovering at the VA hospital, which was less than 10 minutes away. I admit that when I pulled up and saw active construction, I was a bit worried, because I had selected it based upon price. But, it ended up to be a blessing in disguise. I wouldn’t have been able to afford a hotel that met all my needs. I felt safe in its location. It was clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, the soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower smelled good, and the staff were extremely friendly ❤️ At a rate of less than $100 per night during the week, and not much more on Friday and Saturday, it can’t be beat. I wish the new owner and staff all the best of luck.

Look it's San Diego. The rooms that I was in, 3, were moldy. musty, mold odor. And thats pretty common here so if you aren't allergic, all good. If you are, like me, then look elsewhere. I wish I could tell you where to look. Landlords and building owners here don't care to fix it. Staff was kind and the parking is easy. Sheets and rooms didn't have any strong cleaning smells

The room itself was actually really nice and clean. Came with both microwave and a medium sized fridge, bigger than a mini! There’s also a lot of free available parking on site. However, the outside of the hotel itself was not attractive at all. The outside looks run down and there was construction going on with a mess everywhere. There was a lot of banging, drilling and loud talking going on at 8am from construction, which can be understandable but at least a warning from front desk would’ve been appreciated. Front desk was not warm or welcoming at all, he didn’t even crack a smile through my entire check in. Breakfast was also disappointing. White toast, raisin bran and danishes, I would expect a LITTLE more than that but maybe I just came late (9am). Overall, if you’re just looking for a decent room with good parking, this is it. Otherwise, go somewhere else.

The room was okay. Facilities were okay too. They were a bit short staffed. Breakfest included yogurt, cereal, bread, pastries, tea, coffee, etc. For protein at breakfest, there was cold boiled eggs. No sausage patties or bacon.

It was okay. Room was clean & bed was fine for one night. There is a small pool right in the center of the parking lot separated only by a a fence with no visual privacy. not very peaceful. had no interest checking it out. The undisclosed $100 deposit that they hold for 5-10 business days (which you don’t find out til you leave) was unusual, unexpected, and inconvenient. The room should be inspected the same day and prepared for the next guest, and deposits should be refunded immediately upon confirmation of no damage or mess in this space. Wouldn’t go back

Went for a weekend girls trip to San Diego. Booked a room with 2 beds. The room was fully renovated and you could still smell the new paint. The beds were very comfortable and the room was basic but clean. The service was good but the breakfast is not worth anything with very minimal choices. We overpaid for the value of the room because we didn’t realize it was Comic Con weekend in San Diego. Construction on the main streets was loud in the night hours. Good location in the park just over the highway to see the fireworks at Sea World!

The complimentary breakfast was great for someone on the go. They had efficient grab-and-go options that worked perfectly for my schedule. I absolutely loved my room. It was spacious, very clean, and had a modern, upgraded feel. The hotel itself was quiet and peaceful, which made it a perfect spot for my trip to San Diego. Parking did get a bit tight at night, especially if you arrived late, but I was still able to find a spot even around 10 PM. Another thing I really liked was how close the hotel was to the I-5 and how quickly I could get to Mission Bay, just a quick drive down the street. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely book here again!

Upon check in we were notified there would be a water shut off from 11pm to 5am. It would have been nice to have advance notice. I called hotels.com to report the issue and when they contacted hotel management only offered $36 refund. The other option would have been to vacate within an hour for a full refund. Poor service from management. The following day I asked front desk we didn’t want housekeeping. Front desk agent said I could go to desk to grab a do not disturb sign or she could place on our door when she was available.

The hotel was in a great location, easy freeway access to anywhere and a walk over the bridge to the famous mission bay park. The beds were comfortable and the room was plenty big for 4 people in the room. Great price considering location, space, comfort and value.

Wonderful location near Windnsea beach, my fav in La Jolla. I liked the decor of my room and hotel, but the rock/cement flooring throughout the hotel inside and outside was dirty so it distracted from the decor. The flooring can easily be presser washed 2 x a week. The heavy room entry doors slam and are noisey!!

Close walk to Mission Beach park (if you're okay walking for about a mile). Close drive to Sea World. Not much to eat or shop nearby but there are several restaurants within 10 minutes. Staff was nice and helpful. This is a "inn" meaning doors open directly to the parking lot so it did get noisy with traffic and other guests talking outside the room. I bring an air filter for white noise so didn't really bother me. Also, no real closet, just a clothes rack. Everything was clean and brand new.

I was amazed by the transformation of this motel. It turned into a beautiful, mouth-dropping 5-star motel within no time.

First time staying here for a quick family trip to San Diego. The location was convenient to many local restaurants and stores. The hotel is being upgraded and so far, I love what they have done.

We stayed for a couple of days during the transition from Mission Bay Inn to Best Western. There was construction going on throughout the property but it didn’t get in it way. Our destination was Sea World and the hotel is situated very close so we were pleased. The staff was very nice and we stayed in a newly upgraded room. It was clean and comfortable.

There was some construction going on but the room we had was very nice, love the decor, the floors, lighting. Staff was very friendly & accommodating. Housekeeping even though it wasn’t on her schedule came in & made our beds & straightened our room up. I wasn’t going to ask for housekeeping just for towels. But that was very nice! Needless to say we enjoyed our stay & made use of the pool & hot tub as well. This place is located perfectly close to anywhere you could want to go. We will be back & I will definitely suggest this place to my family & friends.

I was skeptical at first due to the online reviews and ongoing renovations, but this place ended up being a great stay. Yes, the construction was loud at times—sounded like breaking glass—but we weren’t at the hotel much, so it didn’t bother us. Our room was freshly renovated and looked great. Plus, the location was a win—walking distance to 7-Eleven and central to everything we needed, which helped balance out the Uber rides.
