    Its a little dated. The bathroom is old.

    Front desk was very polite. Room was a good size, clean, bed was comfortable. I was surprised that it was not so loud at night. Plenty of parking that you have to pay for. Got my room deposit back like a week later. I was charged $28 for parking, but the amount was adjusted back to $18 a week later.

    The facilities are quite outdated. Reception staff is not friendly. Parking costs $18 per day.

    The hotel is clean and functional. Location is good if you have a car. Rooms are spacious.

    large covered pillow - see above

    Bed and room were great. did not use the pool. I did not like the covered large pillow on the bed as it looked unsanitary. Pillows with removeable covers would have been better.

    The parking within the hotel was too expensive, and there was no on street parking available. T

    The room on the 1st floor was very spacious (initially we were given a room on the ground floor which was too dark, but when asked to be moved, we were given a different room).

    This was unexpected: Even though they have their own gigantic parking lot, for some reason they charge you $12/day during your stay to use it (???). Didn't quite understand this, since the hotel isn't located downtown or had limited space. I've stayed in plenty of hotels in San Diego, downtown, & Hotel Circle in particular & this is the 1st time I've ever had to pay for parking at the hotel for which I'm staying.

    The location in Hotel Circle was excellent & their property is very large with a HUGE parking lot. The room was very nice & cozy, & there's a restaurant on-site. Very nice, large pool and hot jacuzzi that I used every morning. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

    It's not clear when you book that there isn't one main building, there are multiple buildings and it feels more motel than hotel

    Location was nice, room was simple, but basic.

    The entrance to the building I had was confusing. At the time of my booking the fine print / details did not say anywhere that there was an incidentals charge, thankfully it was only $50 but still, would be nice to not be surprised. The bathroom made me think of a hospital room or airport bathroom.

    Loved the patio. It’s fairly private, although anyone can walk in front of it.

    Overall this was a good standard room, although the hotel itself is a bit dated. It is decent value for money and close to grocery stores etc., except you do need a car. It is right beside the freeway, which is good for access. The hotel itself was very quiet and spread out, with loads of parking.

    Adequate, but not for a vacation. Highly recommend for group meetings or seminars.

    This is not a walkable neighborhood. The small bathroom needs upgrading. There is indoor-outdoor carpet, while modern rooms have hard surface floors. There is no microwave or refrigerator in the room, amenities I have come to count on when traveling. The television was quite small and the channel selection limited.

    The room was well-appointed. The bed was comfortable. I loved the window treatment. This is an older place and while they are doing a lot to make it attractive, one can see the deterioration in the chipped doorways and trim, as well as the worn hallway carpet. It has great meeting facilities and a fabulous heated pool. It is evident that at one time it was a REALLY great place to stay. Staff is excellent…friendly and accommodating. The small limited menu restaurant and the bar are convenient. 24-hour security is present.

    If it was 1983, then this hotel would probably be a stunner but it’s 2023 and the tired decor could do with an upgrade,

    Room had a few things missing. The television's outlet cord was gone and there wasn't a shampoo in the dispenser, only the conditioner dispenser.

    Staff was welcoming. They let us check in early. Our room was spacious and clean. Also the hotel location is right off the highway.

    Couldn't really fault anything.

    Stayed here for a few nights as part of a road trip. Hotel is good and very well priced compared to Downtown San Diego, especially for parking. Sort of no frills but certainly did the job fine.
