The pool and hot tub were clean and well cared for. Our rooms were not the cleanest upon arrival (there was a used bandaid on the bed) and the outlets and plug in’s were not up to date with USB, etc. The lobby was updated and clean, but as soon as you step into the elevator and into the halls and rooms, you can feel the age. The staff was super awesome though and helped us whenever needed and even helped us upgrade our room upon arrival as we needed more space.

My husband and I were there for a wedding. Upon check in the staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. They had coffee available during business hours and had other great amenities to offer. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only complaints I have is that we were placed in room 320 which is located right under the cafeteria where they served breakfast so at really early hours we were woken up by noises of chairs and tables being moved around. Also the parking spaces were so small so if you have a large vehicle it practically impossible to park perfectly in the parking space. Over all we enjoyed our stay and it’s a perfect location if you are planning on visiting the beach, zoo or any attraction.

This is a decent hotel but felt old and was not cleaned thoroughly. The beds and bathroom areas that are used regularly were clean but there were think layers of dust in the upper corners of the bathroom. Our room felt damp and stuffy and had a minor odor. The hotel was very full of families which was fine but if you are looking for a quiet relaxing hotel this should not be your first choice. Parking was convenient and available when we needed it but there is an extra charge and it’s outside.

My family and I arrived to the best western around midnight. We had just arrived into San Diego from a trip to Cabo. When checking in we were told that I was already checked in under my reservation and they were all booked. We were tired and we had two children with us so we decided to take the 2 hour drive home. The girl at the front was apologetic and was trying to help, however there was no room available for us.
