We arrived 10 mins before check in and was told expedia overbooked our room, double king suite, so we didn't get the room we booked. We didn't check in until about 3:20. The staff was accomodating and put us in 2 rooms side by side, a little inconvient for us logistically, but it was okay. The walls are thin, you can hear every step and noise from the next rooms and in the hall. The hotel was fully booked the weekend we were there and it seemed there were people outside in the parking lot and walking/stomping through the halls at all hours. Facility was pretty clean overall. We had a small fridge and microwave. Costco is right across the street and lots of fast food as well as resturants within driving distance(5-10mins). Breakfast is standard- eggs, sausage/bacon, muffins, bagels pancakes, fruits-the usual. It's about 20-30 mins away from a lot of attactions in the SD area. Staff is super friendly.

I could not stay over night here. It is not safe. It was the worst hotel I have ever booked. It still has people living in it. It was a low level weekly. I would never have a family stay here. You had to ring a door bell to get into lobby. Grandma was in lobby with her pajamas on. Stains on carpet. I was adjacent to an alley.

Not Allowed to Use Stairways - Safety Concern

The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The one thing that was awful was that you were not allowed to take the stairs instead of the elevator and there was often a wait. This seems to be a serious safety issue. The stairwells need to be open for going up and down. This is totally unacceptable.

Hotel was clean. Service was good. Do not like the fact of paying for parking. To invite guest, then tell them we have no parking unless you pay for it! Nah dont like that.
