The front desk staff was helpful enough yet not extremely friendly. The location was great, easy to get to.

Super Location, Pricing and Amenities

I work for a small company and we were going to be in San Diego for a convention. We opted to stay a bit away from the convention hotel because of the room cost, lack of convenience (not really too close to restaurants), and charge for internet and parking. The Best Western had it ALL. We were within 1/2 mile of about 10 or 12 restaurants (definitely a nice walk around the harbor area), could see the harbor from the hotel room balconies, convenient and free parking, a pretty wide selection of items in the continental breakfast (yes, they have a waffle maker), and a great exercise room. Clean and spacious rooms, friendly people at the front desk, nice up-to-date rooms and lobby. Oh....and we paid about HALF the price of the convention hotel's rooms, not to mention saving around $20/day on parking, $10/day on breakfasts and whatever the convention hotel was charging for Internet! There is a walking path that runs for a couple of miles along the harbor right across the street from the hotel.

No room for breakfast

This hotel is an eight-story building and I don't know how many rooms per floor and the breakfast room is small space maximum 4 X 3 mts. My family and I were at the hotel on Dec 20 to 22, 2011 and the occupancy was no too much and still we have to wait for an empty table at the breakfast time. I can not image the nightmare at the summer time. The customer service doesn't exist, we forgot some cloths in the room, and we called from LA the same day of our checked out, in order to see the possibility that they sent the stuff back to our hotel in LA, but the answer was "if the cleaning people didn't report any found in your room was because they didn't found anything, sorry."

If you go to Sea World, try to get ou as soon as possible at closing time. You can wait a lot in a traffic jam.

Good value for the low price

The rooms are very small but clean. The free breakfast is a great thing for traveling with children. But the dinning room is full of people and that makes you need to go up to eat in your room or in the lobby

Close to Airport but not friendly

I chose this hotel bc of the Best Western name and stayed for 2 nights. The first night the heater was broken but no one ever came up to fix it after repeated requests. The second night, I asked for a different room and the front desk woman debated which type of room I had actually reserved and then sent me on a wild goose chase for king beds, including a trip to a smoking room, without asking if I smoked. By the time I got to my second room, it was comfortable, but I won't go back.

Not worth the price

All three phones in the room were not working; I had to call the front desk from my cell phone 3 times and then go down stairs twice to get someone to come and fix the phones. The reason I booked with this hotel was for the free shuttle service, but that was not available; however, they did tell me to catch a taxi and they would refund the amount I paid to the taxi driver--less the tip of course. The room was mostly clean aside from the slice of pizza behind the desk and the leftover toddler pants from a prior resident. Overall, I do not feel I got my money's worth with this hotel.

Harbor Island has great restaurants. I tried 2, both good, don't remember the names but most in that area look nice. The ones local to the hotel, not so great.
