Property was not very clean, the people above us sounded like they were stampeding on the floor until late night and very early in the morning, the lights kept shutting off by themselves, there was construction, literally underneath my window with something that was banging the wall all day on the last day that I stayed you couldn’t be in the bathroom without the fan blaring it was connected to the light,I asked for another room they said that they were full, my grandson who just graduated From Marine Boot Camp came over we tried to get him a room, they said it was going to be $254, and only had one left, I looked online and they had one for $167, not very accommodating at all. Will not stay there again

I booked a two bedroom suite. I got one bedroom and a slightly partitioned area where a bed and dresser were. This was located directly off of the kitchenette and living room area and had ZERO privacy. I’m highly disappointed with the description of this suite. When booking two bedrooms, one would expect to have two bedrooms with doors and privacy! Depending on the guests staying there, it could be very uncomfortable and embarrassing. As it was, I disturbed my husband several times on our stay because I was literally walking by his bed to get a glass of water. Added to that, there was not one piece of information in the entire unit. No instructions for the TV, no writing paper, no local eateries, no building map… NOTHING! There was no breakfast, so we had to go to the store to get stuff to fix in the room, not that big of a deal, but I didn’t book the room for the kitchen, I booked it for the TWO BEDROOMS. Staff was friendly, the unit was clean, beds were miserably hard and we couldn’t get anything (literally) to come up on the television. There was one ice machine for the whole place, it was an elevator ride to the next floor, very inconvenient. We won’t book here again.

Room was ok. We liked the living room separate from bedroom.. liked having a kitchen.. the bed was awful, sagged in the center and one side really low to the ground. The elevator was "broken" 4 outta the 5 days we were there. We were on the 3rd floor and i have mobility issues. I would have asked for the 1st floor had i known we would be using the stairs. Had to carry all 6 bags down 3 flights of stairs at 7 in the morning of our checkout. Extremely frustrating for someone who has ankle surgery 6 months ago. Staff was friendly if you could ever find them, they were usually in back office

The staff was AMAZING. There was a problem with the elevators that happened to break down on our arrival AND our departure dates. However, the staff took care of us and made sure they helped to the best of their ability. It's not about having a problem. It's always about how they deal with it, and they did EXCELLENT!

Perfect place for our family

This was the perfect place for us. We got a 1 bedroom suite. It was like a small apartment. It had 2 queen beds and a sofa bed and 2 bathrooms. Which was great considering we had 5 people. We stayed for a week. It wasn’t noisy, like alot of places we have stayed. We were able to make food and had everything that we needed to stay comfortably. Like we were at home. When we needed a refill on soap or toilet paper, the staff was attentive. If we are in San Diego again, we will definitely stay here.

It was central to everything which saved money on transportation. A kitchen, living room area, 2 bedrooms, a pull out couch and 2 full bathrooms was very nice for our family. There were a few things that we disliked. One of the toilets was clogged and smelly. The internet was extremely slow and the light outside the door was out. Overall, it isnt a 5 star hotel and it doesnt have an oven (it does have a full size fridge) and it was pretty much everything our family needed.
