Howard Johnson by Wyndham San Diego Sea World

El hotel es viejo sucio y descuidado y las habitaciones huelen horrible, el desayuno raquítico, solo cereal y wafles de ningún modo me volvería a hospedar ahí

Good location with plenty of food options.

The room was big and the property nicely designed with all the palm trees. Also the bed was very comfy. They even had a fridge and some other nice amenities. Also it's well.connected by bus to the old town, which is a transport hub to get to anywhere fast. The breakfast didn't have any healthy items. Not a single piece of fruit or veggies. I know it's the US, but I think you can do a lot better on that one. Also the hairdryer was completely broken.

Clean, close to attractions and airport Breakfast was just waffles - no condiments or other breakfast variety

It was close to where I needed to be. It is located near many attractions but there is a car wash close and it can be loud, get use to making a U turn to go most places, there is a median so you can only turn right out of the parking lot, the pool is small and didn't look very clean, parking is tight, the room itself had a weird oder like cleaning chemicals possible, bath tub was a bit dirty looking, we happened to rent a room that was adjoining with another and the first night was hard to sleep because you could here banging and a loud TV, do not depend on the breakfast they only offered cereal and waffles.

Very poor breakfast!

Good

Close to the zoo and sea world The breakfast was very sparse , it had waffle Makers but they kept running out of the waffle mix the woman who was in charge of the breakfast area wasn’t there very often to refill the waffle mix , orange and apple juice,coffee was okay but very weak , no hot breakfast , just dry cereal fruit loops and brand flakes, milk was provided. Breakfast was mediocre and very lightweight. The room was nice cable channels , bathtub/shower the faucet was hard to move the body wash :shampoo ran out . It was just okay

Absolutely nothing. The room was dirty and smelt terrible, stains, bug, ripped sheets and floor, broken put back together furniture and our bathroom door was stuck. Room looked nothing like the picture BEWARE and people were injecting themselves with drug outside our room. Staff did absolutely nothing.

I didn’t like that when we checked in I had made reservations for 2 rooms. After they gave me the keys only one room was ready. The other room wasnt cleaned so we had to wait another hour for them to clean it. Also the next morning as we were getting ready the power went out in our room. They didn’t have many options for their breakfast. Only waffles, fruit and yogurt. When we asked if they had any bagels or bread available the staff said no,

I loved that parking is free, one of the very last places where no parking fees are included as this is what every hotel should have. Every other hotel has piece-meal charges that add up. It’s getting quite rare for hotels to cater to the middle class as most are just interested in charging more and squeezing more out of every traveler, especially on holidays or special events. The rooms are just the norm, nothing special stands out, but they are comfortable. The one thing I keep disliking about this place is that the state they have a continental breakfast, and their breakfast always fall short, as I have witnessed on several different stays there, when all they have is waffles, coffee, and juice.

Disappointing

It’s close to a lot of things There were dead roaches on the floor in the breakfast area.

Simple yet okay... Location, price, room smelled musty, ive stayed in cleaner rooms.

The staff was very friendly & helpful. Very comfortable beds and convenient location for beach, public transportation, shops & restaurants. Very cleanly maintained property. Small buffet area with waffles & cereals which was tasty Rooms are a small bit outdated but for the price it really didn’t matter. When walking to old town station which is about 15 min by foot, there was a good amount of homeless people around, by no fault of the property ofcourse and it’s awful to see but did feel a small bit unsafe walking around at night

Superb

I would not change anything.

It was in a great central location Free parking was so much more convenient than other properties’ paid parking Across the street from some great shops The microwave and mini fridge were really convenient Hard to get the bathtub to stop leaking Some people were smoking in the parking lot even when security told them not to Breakfast selection was somewhat limited

I headed for breakfast and asked front desk agent if I could go and she said if the door was open by breakfast room then yes.

The included breakfast was very meager.

Clean room, friendly, helpful staff. Convenient location for the reason we were there. The included breakfast was very meager.

It was ok The view of the hotel

The beds were comfortable. We had to try 4 different rooms multiple times to get a room where the key cards would open the door and staff was very unconcerned about it. The room we finally were able to get into the refrigerated didn't work, when trying to turn down the air conditioner (after we had to reset it to get it to come on) it tripped the breaker, and the bathtub faucet dripped constantly. The only breakfast items were make yourself waffles, fruit loops cereal, bran cereal, coffee and I believe juice.

Nice room, comfortable beds and good bathroom. Good location for our needs, close to shops and transport and only a 15-20 minute walk to Old Town A bit noisy, dirty outside rooms and continental breakfast was disappointing with only 2 cereals and waffles for choice.

It was ok The view of the hotel

Near everything Not expensive enough to keep certain characters out.

Walls are very thin, we heard the neighbor snoring all night and we stayed in the room right next to the housekeeping room which was VERY loud at 6 am every morning. Couldn't get the bathtub to stop leaking unless I wrenched it so hard I thought I was going to break it. Bed was comfortable.

Pool was warm Rooms were very dirty, I don’t think carpet was ever cleaned my white socks were black from walking a few times it was quite disturbing. The struggle to open and close the front door…??‍♀️ Staff were not friendly at all. Pool area was dirty

I was charged $50 deposit on two day stay. When I checked my transaction with the bank it was under a name that said Thrift car rental. I called Howard Johnson the lady Ann said it was deposited back into my bank. Which never got back to me. Now she said there is no record of my transaction. Also she sent a picture so tiny that you can’t even read. She said it was sent to a card ending in 8170 which I don’t even have at all. It’s better to take cash instead of using a card. First time this has happen to me I’ve been stay here for over 7 years.

This "motel" is filled with homeless and is not in a very good part of town. Several occupants appeared to be living out of the motel. The walls are so thin you might as well be in your neighbors room. The furniture and decor of the motel needs a refresh. The employee were very nice. I guess it's a get what you pay for type of place. Lasted one night and changed hotels.

Needed a hotel for few hours to nap before we take our early morning flight, so booked this hotel for the proximity of the airport. Such dated property, Doors jammed, have to use force and push with shoulders to open and close. Paper thin walls, zero privacy. We stayed in room #249. room 248 was so loud watching TV till 3 am and all sorts of private sounds keeping us up all night. Found a bug on the bed sheet. The blankets and bedding looked too old and used..

The room has a bad smell but over all it was ok needs to be a bit mote cleaner the sheets had stains on them

The location was perfect. I didn't rent a car during my stay in the States, so I had to visit anywhere by myself, but the location was so perfect. Supermarkets and restaurants were close to the hotel and there were also several bus stops, so there was no need call Uber and I could save money. Also, the staff at the reception was super nice. Cleanliness, TV, and room lights didn't meet my expectations. As many say, it was not clean especially in the bathroom. I didn't care that much though because it was really short stay (2 nights) and I was out most of the time in the daytime . I couldn't watch TV programs first, so I tried to fix it by myself by putting some cables in and out, which finally worked. But sometimes the connection got lost, so I wasn't satisfied with TV service. Although there were some lights in the room, it was always a little bit dark inside. But again, remember, I didn't spend my time in the room well, so these points, aside from the cleanliness, were not big deal.

The text message early to ask what time i will check out

Convince. Close to restaurants and shops Older property but it’ works

we made it to breakfast late, it was over. I had to play with the door to get in. you have to lift up not down.

Needs new carpet

location was good The safe and one of the bedside lamps were broken. We tried changing the room but the air conditioning was not working. We had to cancel the reservation.

Room had a bad smell, carpet looked dirty and outdated. Bathroom shower was leaking and tub had black stains. Overall room wasn’t what I was expecting from pictures on the website

Excellent No complaints

Just looked rundown.

Fixtures were old and in poor condition, sink faucet was rusted and almost detached. After I left, I noticed attempts at unauthorized charges on the card I used and upon looking at other reviews I discovered other people have had the same issue. I had to cancel my credit card and have a new one reissued.

Parking was easy and secure. Staff was great. Breakfast was fantastic. .

Thin walls, off and on all night you could here the neighbors talking loudly.

For a budget hotel this was actually pretty clean and impressive regarding the location especially since there’s a sprouts grocery store right across the street an awesome kebab place right across the street sushi bookstore dollar store CVS and In-N-Out a car wash pretty much anything and everything you would need. It’s a high traffic area and you’ll have to do a lot of U-turns if you drive but all in all it was budget friendly for what we needed. The breakfast was basically just waffles and cereal and some apple juice. The pool is nothing to write home about and you had a nice view of a dilapidated Caribbean restaurant that looks like it’s been through a hurricane, which could be a museum element. The beds were comfortable and clean the shower worked, and despite a little bit of a tricky check-in, the staff were on top of things.

Good location Laundry facilities No usb ports in the room

Excellent desk service, very friendly and helpful

Was given a smoking room when I asked for a non smoking one. It smelled like somebody smoked drugs in it. I was able to change to a different one after complaining.

Pool water wasn’t clean

The ground and surroundings need to be updated. There’s a big gap hole in the door. The room doesn’t feel clean. It’s not what we expected. It’s not the same as the pictures posted on the website.

Great

Breakfast is good. Parking is good. The only problem i had was the room next door was too loud. Couple was arguing and cussing all night and their baby crying. Hotel staff moved us when i asked to be moved to another room. Rooms are decent for the price u pay.

Property run down. Sign broken. Drawers without handles. Door does not open properly even saw neighbors having trouble. Paint peeling and various other things of building deteriorating. Broken washer. Room had an unpleasant smell. Breakfast had only a couple of cereals, waffle maker, and juice machine. Fridge was empty. For a place with big sign “free breakfast” this is not what is expected. Overall, shower and bed was fine and that was it. Not what one would expect from a Howard Johnson.

Our restroom didn't have any light and none of the power outlets worked besided we were charged and extra deposit besided the 50 dlls one with out my knowledge

The room smelled like cigarettes really bad it made me nauseous when you put the air on it smelled like urine the pool was dirty the breakfast only had waffles cold cereal and watered down coffee

Water could be hotter. Was lukewarm water in shower. No towels for pool. Never stayed at a hotel that didn't have linen available all hours. Had a time frame between 8am - 2pm to request linen, towels etc. Totally weird. Good luck if spill something and need linen at 7pm. Staff was friendly. Rooms need updating.

For the price, the hotel was satisfactory. We were out most of the day and night so it was at least comfortable enough to rest.

The curtain was broken and I was on the first floor so it was hard to keep it from separating and people being able to see in. No usbc or usb chargers in the room for my watch or my phone. The room also smelled like poop when the upstairs toilet flushed. 2 cereals and waffles were the only options for breakfast.

Room doesn’t looks clean enough and I felt a little uncomfortable because the room 100 was to far and the looks that the door it was vandalized; honestly I don’t felt secure at the time to get of the room and trying to get some breakfast.

Room was spacious and clean. Lotion sample was old had yellow coloring on it. Tub needs to be replaced or coated. Room walls are too thin, was able to hear next door neighbors and everyone chatting and walking by during the night. Price was good. Location was great, near everything we needed.

The room was not ready. I booked a king bed with a pull out couch since they were out of double bed rooms. There were also roaches so be careful😭They didn't have any linen for the pullout. They said that the linen is only for the beds and if I was requesting that I should've said it in the booking. Night Staff was not nice or helpful. Thankfully we were only there for one night. Sketchy area but it's close to SeaWorld and close to shopping centers and restaurants.

The check-in was not a good experience, I had booked a king bed & pull out couch. When I was setting up the pullout I realized there were no sheets/bedding so I went to ask for some and they said they had none that it's only for the beds. I said ok can I have some sheets for the bed and they said they had none that has to be ordered when initially booking the room 😂 wild! Thankfully the bed was big enough we all fit. Also there were roaches in the room🙀. The bathroom shower was leaking the whole time so that was annoying but also the walls are so thin literally heard our neighbor fighting all night so couldn't really sleep. Thankfully we only booked for 1 night

The room was very outdated. The door wouldn't open, had to shove it. We had the same room two years ago and had the same problem, sad. The sink was cracked, and the bathroom exhaust was just hanging there. The parking lot very lit up at night. The breakfast was a waffle and cereal, no bread, fruit, or yogurt. This was the sixth time in five years we've chosen this place. It may say Howard Johnson by Wyndham but actually a Motel 6.

Only 1 out of 3 rooms smelled like smoke. No issues other than the one-room smell. It was conveniently located near MCRD, not far at all. There are plenty of stores around to pick up anything you need. The rooms themselves were your general rooms, neat and clean. Several of the other reviews stated that the doors were stuck, but it was only because they were heavy, which I didn't have any issues with, and I am petite. Great for the price! They also accommodated a late checkout for my Marine to shower and change without a fee.

The continental breakfast is no longer available- one of the reasons we had booked here. We were never notified of that change. Also is still being advertised on the main road sign . Had also requested a ground level room and roll away bed at the time of booking months prior (due to a mobility issue with a family member) We were told at check they would see if a ground level would be available. Got our room , but the door would not open - seemed as though it was locked from the inside or something. Had to go back to desk again get new keys , and try another room- no apologies or acknowledgment that this was an issue. Requested a roll away bed that we would pay for . We were then told “ oh we don’t do that in two Queen bed rooms “ . We tried many times asking for the extra bed and got the biggest run around from staff and managers . The basically refused and would not help at all - worst customer service. The pool is small and freezing - also when asked at front if there were towels available, the response was “I don’t know maybe some outside “. Room was out dated, bathroom did not look cleaned properly, stains on ceiling. Screw on the floor , large space under main door.

The employee at the window was pretty rude when we had already checked in and only needed the keys. Room 118 had roaches in the closet and bathroom so i assume rest of hotel has them too. Went to take my 2 yr old grand daughter to get orange juice at breakfast there were still people sitting in there but a lady shut the doors and said they are closed i just asked if i could take her in for cup of orange juice she said no we are closed. People were still in their eating and we got turned away not even orange juice for a 2 yr old pathetic and rude

I was put in a room between 2 very loud and scary guests and requested to be moved for 2 days only to was told no. I even asked the manager. So I called Wyndham customer service and they called the hotel and asked if they would move me. The hotel also told them no that I should go to another hotel if I’m not feeling safe. Customer service told me they were sorry and that I should call customer relations in the morning to let them know how ii was treated. The hotel lied and said that they did not have another room available so I looked online and they actually had several rooms to choose from. This is my stay I have been sitting out in the cold for several hour feeling safer than the room I paid for😔

After checking in, at the front desk there was a sign posted that they will no longer serve a full breakfast. There were no meats or eggs. On the 2nd day there was no hot water, they had to fix that the following day. Only one ice machine on the outside of the hotel under an awning.

The sheets were super wrinkly so I hope they at least washed them. The headboard were not only dusty but they had marks all over them like dried up crust. The light switches were filthy dirty. The walls in the bathroom had dirt all over them it was disgusting. Housekeeping needs to do better cleaning. On top of that a bunch of crackheads were surrounding the area, they checked in and had all the crackhead friends in the parking lot and room with their barking dogs.

Staff were friendly room was clean . It’s affordable and convenient location we stayed there for a concert at pachenga arena and we were able to walk so that was very convenient . I also would say don’t set your expectations too high it’s a budget friendly option. I will say that there was a homeless person sleeping in the lobby lounge barefoot while guest were at the breakfast kinda crazy that was allowed to happen . Other than that everything was good .

This hotel is conveniently near Sea World and was reasonably priced, however, the AC did not work, the windows only opened part way. It was the worst night of sleep in my life. Nothing could be done about it as it was sat night and the hotel was full. Next morning (sunday) we were moved to a different room with a working AC, but it was infested with flying ants in the bathroom. The breakfast area was super small, there was a crowd waiting to make waffles/ find a table. This is our second time at a Howard Johnson, and our last. You get what you pay for, I guess.

My kids loved the pool. It was very clean and I liked the guest washer and dryers on the property. All around it was very quiet and other guest were respectful of their neighbors.

Run down hotel with unfriendly staff. Great location. Lots of shopping and dining options within walking distance.

Checked in 10 minutes before the listed check-in time at 3pm. Front desk woman gave me my room, she wasn't friendly, but wasn't rude either. Went to the room, and it was either still occupied or wasn't yet cleaned. Towels everywhere and bed unmade. Went back to the lobby to get a different room. Another guest came back to the lobby for the same reason, her room was also not cleaned before check-in. I was given a room that reeked of cigarettes and cable was not working. Went back to the lobby and got a room that smelled of mildew and cleaning chemicals, but was still better than the cigarettes. We stayed two nights, and on the second day, after returning to our room from a day out, our room key was not working. Had to go back to the lobby to have the keys registered back to our room. The booking website claims buffet breakfast, however, it was Continental with added waffle maker. Hardly a buffet. Would not book again.

To start with, when I opened the room it smelled damp, the air conditioning was old and barely cooled the room even when I put it on maximum, the paint was coming off the bathtub and the worst thing was that the shower never worked so I had to use the cooler to be able to shower. I was really disappointed with the hotel.

Very close to Old Town. Can either walk there and the Metro station. Close enough to airport also. Many good restaurants close by.

Restroom was a bit dirty. Had to ask the front desk to help flush the toilet it wasn’t flushing. Bed had stains & holes. Sofa bed had a dirty corn nut and stains. Smell was bad on the sofa bed including the springs hurt bad.

For the most part the place was clean. I didnt care for the water smelling like sulfur or that the place was lacking in pest control.

The internet didn’t work all 4 days/3 nights we were there. The first night, we couldn’t check in because theirs was down too. No biggie, we got keys and checked in the next day. Breakfast was decent and the cleaning lady was nice. Our keys didn’t work every night we came back to our room, so we always needed to get new keys. On the last night, we once again went to ask the night window for new keys. A night auditor walked up to the window and I told him “our keys haven’t worked every night we come back” and he took the keys and left to another room without a word. He came back to ask for my ID, which I didn’t have on me, so I gave him my name. He left and comes back with a new key and says “keep it away from metal, magnets..” and I told him we are aware and are really careful with them, but we are bummed they haven’t worked every night. He just repeated “well.. keep it away from metals.. magnets” without an ounce of customer service. At this point, I said “so, no ‘sorry for your inconvenience’” or ‘oh no, I’m sorry you had to walk here for a new key” or any sort of empathy? He just shrugged. Night staff literally doesn’t care.

Horrible place to stay. Shame on Expedia for recommending it. Breakfast was horrible.

The door handle would not work, broken. As you walked in the room had an order and none of the outlets would hold a charger.

This hotel is a little dated, but I love that it was so close to the downtown area. I wish they offered meat options at the breakfast bar but what was available was okay. Lots of food options in the area.

Checking through bulletproof glass. Very dirty

This property was very clean. Staff was very friendly. Lots of parking very quiet. I would definitely stay at this property again.

The rooms were dirty and in disrepair. The smell in the room was horrible. And the front door have a big gap at the bottom. Front desk was nice, but I think they knew about the conditions of the room. Have to book somewhere else last minute, was a little stressful to star out vacations that way.

This place should be condemned. The room was nasty, the AC did not work when asked for a different room the receptionist was unable or unwillingly to help us. If it was not for refundable we would have left. The rooms were not cleaned, due to "ECO friendly policy". The photos were a cover for all of the falls. The keys deactivated numerous times. Do not stay here it is not worth the price nor illness that can be contracted from staying here.

Door was in not good condition and was not opening or closing easily. One of the nights, there was a dog barking for a couple of hours. We notified staff and it took 3 hours to get the dog to stop barking. I didn't get a good night sleep that night. I will not stay at this hotel again

Was perfect for one one, nothing fancy but made my stay confy

Not great part of town. Hotel a little run down. Really nice big comfortable bed. Great breakfast selection with spacious dining area.

Everything worked. Door was a little hard to use and latched pretty harsh but securely. Tub valve leaked very bad (at least 5 gals/hour) but it didn't bother me too bad and apparently didn't bother the staff because I told them about it and they were aware of it during my entire 3 day stay.

We stayed for one night. Central location to many restaurants.

The staff was nice. They won’t bring you towels after 3. The beds and room were decent. There was mold in the closet and around the safe was disgusting. So we just didn’t use the safe. It was what you pay for.

The location was perfect, close to the Marine Bootcamp depot and near the airport. Also close to all touristy events, though not as "walkable" as advertised. It is 35 35-minute walk to the base main entrance.

Property

The staff was very nice and welcoming. Our room was really dirty. The coffee pot has cobwebs in it and there was dust and dirt everywhere. There was also a chunk of hair in our closet. The room also had a musty smell that took awhile to get over. We were only there to sleep so it was ok for that I guess. We won't be back.

Very old and outdated. The carpet was dirty. Walked in and smelled musty. The door knob was falling off and had a hard time opening the door. Key card stopped working and spent 20 minutes walking back and forth trying to get it resolved. Asked for towels and nobody showed up.

Everyone has been so nice and helpful. The room has a lot of extra space. Lots of restaurants and attractions nearby. You are within a 5 mile radius of seaworld, old town and beaches.

Don’t stay here unless you have no where else to stay.

Was awesome stay

Breakfast wasn't great with limited options, not enough tables for the people staying and not enough room to allow guests to get to the counter. The rooms need updating as they look tired and tatty.

Location of great. Close to everything. The place however needs major renovations. Walls had three different color paints over one another. Carpet had stains. Walls had stains. Shower handle was broken. AC unit smelled like urine. Pillows were lumpy. Breakfast was mediocre, basically cereals. Both toasters were unusable. The place has potential. Just needs some TLC

The staff was kind, check in fast, and rooms were clean. The hotel definitely shows its age and could use some updates to replace worn carpet or the cabinet for the mini-fridge and microwave. The breakfast area was also much too small for the number of guests. So, I am glad we did not pay more for what we got, and I don't think we could spend much more than just one night. That said, the location was great! The room was clean and the price was excellent. I would stay here again for one night.

Everything was within 15 minutes of where we wanted to be.

I have used hotel.com and the hotels within this establishment. This hotel by far is the worst. I got some assistance from a hotel.com rep.

Poor management

This place was dirty, there was a huge hole in my door and was in terrible condition.

Also, a lifht didn't work and the tv had no signal. But I didn't check with the front desk for fear of another confrontation. It was just me and my 8 year old son. I booked here due to its proximity to Sea World, which we were visiting. I will never book at this place again and am telling everyone of my experience.

Man at front desk was rude, no ajoing room with my mom that was reserved and confirmed! Carpet needs to be replaced!

Carpet need to be removed, they are gross.

The AC did not work its a good thing that we were in the room at night. It was uncomfortable the whole time we were in the room. Th we breakfast was good and the staff was good too.

Carpet and bathroom needs a better cleaning. Breakfast needs more selection.

Its a nice hotel, comfortable beds. Ple ty of space for families.lots of restaurants close by to choose from. In the middle of everything.

This location is good for ease to get to the airport early in the morning. The room was clean. The hair dryer didnt work. The front desk customer service was okay. Overall the Convenience of this location is great.

I would say definitely below average for the price. I know it’s not an expensive hotel to begin with but still I’ve stayed at hotels in the same price range that were much better. Plus, our ac wasn’t working and the room was so hot. They did accommodate us and move us , but still such a pain. Thankfully we were there only 1 night, but definitely would not stay there again and would not recommend

The only problems: Hair dryer don't work, and the cards for open the door don't work really well. Everything else excellent.

Stayed three nights. Parties in neighboring rooms late into the night for two nights. Sketchy people vaping by the stairs so that my kids were too intimidated to go upstairs - we had to walk across to the other side to use a different stairwell. Most definitely NOT kid friendly. Oh and the air-conditioning/heating unit literally fell off the wall.

They don’t do daily cleaning until the third day of your visit. Toilet seat was broken. Have to call to get toilet paper and towels. Never again smh.

Cleaniness is not the best and.door lever is not working

Ok for one night

very good

Not a place for a family.

We liked that this place was near a lot of shops. I’m always afraid I’m booking hotels near sketchy areas but this one was in a nice area.

I did the preregistration and was for nothing I had to do again onsite they said they didn’t receive it but I was charged dollar to make sure my card was valid for the preregistration.

First room we got there was dogs next door which were not allowed, 2nd room they gave us AC did not work and sink smelled really bad, 3rd room they gave us smelled like cigarettes when we asked for non smoking room. We ended up leaving and having to find another hotel.

Generally good, but the waffle maker was broken at breakfast, so we didn't get a hot breakfast

Not worth for price, also charging $10 per day even after my stay, yet to call them for the reason for additional charges

The stay was good but there were a lot of things that could be replaced. The chair had tears and rips in it. The bathroom door didn’t close properly. The beds were good

Plumbing issues and dirty shower head

Dining staff was nice. Had issues with everything else

Tub leaked water entire stay & maintence never sent to fix it. 2 lamps next to beds but only 1 had a bulb and never received a replacement bulb. Neither lamp had a shade. Tv & internet went out for about 2 hours.

Great location. Easy drive to Sea World. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance.

I did not like anything from the property. Terrible service and terrible conditions. Got a room and someone’s stuff was there, they gave me another one and it had been used. Went to go ask for another room and the said to me that they could not do anything about it.

Good location to old town.

The tub dripped even when turned completely off, dust on top of switches and hair on wall of bathroom. Paid extra for late check-out 1pm (attended Marine Corps graduation for son) got to room at 12:20 pm and key card did not work.

Booked the room to be close to my dughters prom in san diego. The hotel offered smoke free rooms, but upon entering the room it smelled heavily of smoke and had visible burn marks on the walls. Asked for another room, this one smelled moldy

The room smelled like mold

good

But the rooms are terrible ,older, smelly, The beds and all the equipments are too Older. Everything needs an update. The staff is ok. The breakfast is good .

Staff are very friendly
