Not only was everything great, the staff was amazing! From the two young ladies in the morning, to the two gentlemen in the evening and the cleaning staff- it appeared that everyone was there to serve me, and as a guest that feels awesome. The location was great, the room was clean, the lobby and outside were comfortable.... I won't be looking for any other places to stay on my next visits to SD.

I like that this place was very clean and had lots of parking. Nice location right next to I-5 and just outside of San Diego without the hassle of inner city traffic or extra rates. Also, walking distance to Hansel’s ice cream which was a highlight of the trip.

We like to stay here when visiting family in San Diego. Very clean and nice hotel. They decorate for the Holidays. My only complaint this time was that the bathrooms are starting to show some wear and tear and just taking care of rims around the sink will be nice. There was a malfunction with our sink but the front desk sent someone within a few minutes and it was resolved. But the most important part is that we feel safe at this location.

Once I booked this hotel, I Immediately noticed I booked in the wrong city! Best Western would not let me cancel the reservation. Once we arrived we were able to check in, everything looked ok in the room until the loud music started playing from the restaurant, we could not even hear the tv much less turn the tv off to go to sleep! We started our day of travel at 4am so we just wanted to relax and unwind. According to the desk clerk, they play the loud music every weekend! I mentioned it would have been nice if they started on the website about the loud music. She said they have something there on the website. I didn’t see anything. We will not be back! We do not recommend this hotel!
