The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The first room we were given was dirty and had a funky smell. The second room was better but not great. For the price we paid the hotel was below average . The children kept asking me why I booked a cheap hotel. It wasn’t cheap Room service didn’t even come to our room to empty trash or anything. Perhaps they were understaffed. But the facilities were not clean on a regular basis. Location was decent. You could tell things were not dusted or vacuumed. A little disappointed. Glad the staff was friendly or I would have been very disappointed. Breakfast was okay but not the best.

Overall the property is good, breakfast is good as well but parking is just terrible, if you happen to get back after 8pm goodluck finding some. Your only option is to pay for garage parking which isnt a one time its a daily fee which is honestly such a downside. Aside from this the property is convenient if you plan on going to Sea world or San Diego Zoo.

Never stay at this hotel

First off staff at check in were great, no let’s get into my stay. First off I was taken aback with the 150 dollar deposit they required as well as 26 dollars for parking and the. I arrive in the room with my family and the room was just dirty. I booked a suite due to traveling with my family we have 5 kids plus my wife and I. I was very disappointed in the room however even more in the fact that the shower had no shower curtain. I called down to the front desk and asked for this to be taken care of and nothing happened. So we all showered with no curtain and luckily no one slipped on a wet floor. The next incident happened when we were all getting ready for bed and I called down asking for extra pillows because we were only given two per bed and none for the pull out couch I was told they were out of pillows. Then there was the bed worst bed I have ever slept in. I will never be staying at this hotel again and am absolutely appalled at the amount of money I was charged for this horrible experience that was supposed to be a fun time with my family
