The had roaches! I only seen 4, so I didn't ask for another room. As I was checking in, two other girls were asking for their money back; so, I'm assuming that was their reasoning as well. Other than that, the room was ok.

The room appeared clean. But when I got up in middle of night to use the bathroom and turned on the light dozen of bugs went running. I checked out asking to cancel the second day of my reservation. I currently still have both nights charged along with deposit. Not sure if I will have to fight for the second night to be refunded or not yet. But for health reasons I recommend spending more money for a better place.

Checked in with a $100 deposit, no big deal as some hotels require a deposit when checking in. Went to or room and noticed holes in the ceiling, gap in the door jamb of the door with light coming through looked like the door had been damaged, stains on the headboard of the bed, table, door walls and there was a hole in the wall where the doorknob had previously hit the wall. The remote control for the TV was missing so I went to the front desk and let the attendant know and was told he would send maintenance up to the room. No one from maintenance ever came to the room, so we never turned the tv on. Wyndham needs to do a better job overseeing their franchises as this hotel is lacking in basic standards and customer service. We did video the room after we checked in and would be more than happy to share the video with Wyndham's corporate complaint Dept. I will not stay at this hotel when visiting San Diego again and will not recommend it to family or friends.

The hotel is very outdated. Only thing that are decent are the beds, floors and cleanliness of the room. The walk ways to the rooms are very narrow on the above floors and a bit scary to walk on if you’re afraid of heights. Closet rod was broken on one side. Toilet would only flush if you hold down the handle. Shower had low pressure. There was only one bath towel and one hand towel. Hotel staff was unfriendly. I thought hotels under Wyndham would be good. I guess not. I will not be staying at this Howard Johnson again.

After check in, I’m laying on the bed, and without knocking, a house keeper bursts in the room. Front reception didn’t care when I brought it up. I requested an early morning wake up as I had a flight, fortunately I woke up 30 minutes early, because that phone call didn’t come. When checking out, the lights were on in reception, but no front up desk personnel were there. I would never recommend this place for even a single night.

Headline: Extremely Disappointing - Poor Hygiene and Service "I had a terrible stay at this hotel. The room was not properly cleaned—the bedsheets and pillows felt unwashed and used. To make matters worse, there was a strong smell of marijuana entering the room every night, making it very uncomfortable. The amenities were lacking: the refrigerator barely worked, and we were short on towels. The staff was unprofessional and unfriendly. When I tried to check out, there was no one at the desk to assist. I do not recommend this place to anyone."
