Booked 5 nights 1st night we checked In late due to issue with our flight, asked for quite room we were given room right next to highway very noisy. The next morning I asked to be moved and the desk associate told me she has a nice room available near the pool. As I started to get my things ready she came to the room and asked for the key back and said that room wasn’t available and would give us a diffusion when available. She did give us another room and this room overlooked a gas station, very disappointing and the hallways were very dingy and the room looked much nicer online and would rate a 3 out of a 10

I enjoyed my stay @ California Suites on Clairemont Mesa Blvd…It’s an older hotel w/a lot of character & city charm with a great staff & accommodations. Central location to get around the city. The cost is very competitive and a great value w/free parking and on site 24 Hr security making the rounds. Highly recommended - you won’t find anything else like it - overall stay was very easy and comfortable. Thanks!

Overall, it was a good place to stay. It was quiet for the most part. On Saturday night it was a bit boisterous by the pool and I was on the first floor right next to it. The shower had good water pressure but the sink did not. There were no cable channels, only broadcast ones. However, you could log into any of your sreaming channels and watch that if you wanted, which might be the way to go these days. There was a mini fridge and microwave, which was nice. They also had security gates and security guards at times, which was good and added to the security of the place. For a no-frills experience, this is a decent choice. I'd stay here again for an affordable place to stay.

This was our second stay at this facility, and fell short of expectations. The room was not properly cleaned, specifically the tub and sink had hair in them. But mostly the toilet was not secure to the floor and rocked when you sat on it - a good kick would have knocked it over. This room should NOT be made available to another customer until it is fixed. Bottom line, would not be acceptable at any price.

It was bad. Mode on the top of the roof in the restroom, bedding had brown spotting with hair on the bed spread. The bed left like it was going to fall down I lay down on it and we can hear loud noise coming from outside and next-door in the other hotel room in the early hours in the morning. Also, had to wait on towels because I didn’t have enough. My family and I was not comfortable there. I don’t think I would ever go back there.

Hidden gem. Cute landscape. For the price, the rooms are clean and spacious. I love free coffee. The pool was cute, refreshing, and importantly clean.! Surrounding neighborhoods express intense patriotism which was unsettling. But no patriotism seemed to be on display at this hotel so I felt safe.
