It was fine.

We had to change rooms because things were broken in the first one. Holes in the furniture and curtains. The second room was similar to the first. It was fine. I just think a little overpriced for location and condition of the rooms. Breakfast was delicious and room service is only every other day, which I can appreciate. We were only there two days so no room service.

This hotel is in within a 20 minute driving distance to most popular attractions around San Diego. It is not walkable, though. Lots of amenities like Target, Trader Joe's and restaurants are nearby. The hotel room itself was fine except for the two interior doors not working properly. The one dividing the rooms was so loose it would not close and the one on the bathroom required immense strength to close. The breakfast is available with a lot of options, but the eggs and meat selection were ok. Overall a fine option for families, but could be a little better.

I used to stay there several times in the past. Spacious and clean rooms. The desk staff is nice. The change to the past is that room was more quite anymore. There was a noise around midnight from the upper room, dog barking in the morning, repeatedly. The staff shouting to each other on the breakfast area in the morning, the breakfast man even whistling almost every morning in the breakfast area....

I chose this Homewood Suites for its good ratings and location centrally located. It is close to a freeway entrance and made it easy to get around San Diego. However, I have to comment that the walls for our room were so thin, that the noise level coming from the adjacent rooms next to us and above us was unbearable. I am a relatively light sleeper, so hearing people walk around above us and the conversations and activity next door to us made it very difficult to get any rest while in the room. I noticed the issue as soon as we checked in and quickly ask the front desk staff to change rooms, but unfortunately they said the hotel was all booked and basically gave me the shrug and "there is nothing we can do" comments. I was hoping it was an isolated incidence of noise, but it didn't let up the entire time of our stay. I don't think we were alone either in dealing with the thin walls as I noticed a nearby resident also standing outside his door trying to determine where the noise he was experiencing was coming from. The problem is that all the walls are too thin. Noise was coming from above us and around us. I think this is a fatal flaw for anyone considering staying at this hotel. When you have many families traveling to this destination and trying to enjoy themselves (which I don't fault), but the rooms are so poorly constructed that I could literally hear what people are saying (no privacy), we ultimately checked out a night early because it was so bad.

Amenities looks good in the pictures. But it wasn't as advertised. Lights on the living area inside the room is not working, kitchen doesnt have enough bowls in the kitchenette. No towels by the swimming pool. But the ladies in the front desk both checking in and out were the sweetest and very friendly.

The beds and linens were not great. The mattresses are past due for replacement and the linens were jokingly called prison blankets during our stay. The room was quiet enough and the room had plenty of space. The pool was unheated and tiny, but we were expecting that based on reviews. The breakfast was great and the service was good throughout our stay.
