San Diego Family Getaway

The hotel is clean and neat. It is on a very busy street, but the double pane windows block out the noise. Enjoy a wonderful breakfast which is "free". The staff is courteous and is willing to help in any capacity. Nice getaway in a central location at an affordable price.

Hotel is very close to shopping, dining and tourist attractions. Spend time on India Street; they have some of the best restuarants, many at reasonable prices.

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.

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."

week in San Diego

the staff was freindly and did the best they could. I think the breakfast area is too small and needs more then one person attending. Waffle area had problems everyday because people were not following directions and one day no batter. There was no flow and people stumbling around each other. Hottub was foamy & pool cool for weather at the time. I like the cookie in afternoon :0)

Good location but......

The location was great. The staff was nice but...... Our key card didn't work to our room and we had to travel up and down stairs four times before the problem was fixed.....temporarily. Our toilet would not flush and repeated calls to get it fixed came to nothing. We were apologized to but were told that since the hotel was booked up there was no other room to transfer us to. Upon returning from dinner that night out key cards again didn't work which meant the up/down trek for the next 20 mins at midnight none the less before we could enter our room. The room was clean but the sheets refused to stay on the bed. Upon speaking to the manager at check out we were rewarded with a free nights stay at a later date but that's subject to availability. So I am just hoping that if we ever get a chance to redeem this voucher that the door works, the toilet flushes, and the sheets stay on the bed.

Convinent but noisy!

Location was convinent, website photos were a bit misleading. Free breakfast was average but noise level was terrible, we could hear traffic all night long. We would have stayed a bit further off of such a main road if we had known the area better. We won't return.

Filthy Carpets and Motel 6 Decor, Great Location

Staff good, breakfast good, lobby and price pretty good, but the beds are hard and the rooms ugly. The sliding doors in other rooms above and below made our room sound like a railroad terminal and shake like an earthquake.
