2 weeks prior to our stay, we requested a first floor room - we had our dog and my ninety-yr-old mother traveling with us - and we were assured we’d have a first floor room. When we checked in, we were placed on the second floor, and no first floor rooms available . At 10pm, that first night after a 7 hr drive, an alarm clock was going off in the room next door for over an hour; front desk took care of it, but, it took an hour. We never set our alarm clock, and it went off at 5AM. The next night, the alarm clock in the next door room was going off again; front desk did take care it within 30 minutes. There is no security in the parking lot but, there is a $20 fee for overnight parking. It’s not a gated lot, nor is there a security guard. What’s the $20 fee for? We’re never staying there again.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The building could use a service elevator. I cut my foot on the kick plate at the bottom of the door to our room. I asked the front desk for a bandaid, which they promptly got some for me. The General Manager saw my bleeding foot, and walked in by without saying a word to me. That was very disappointing and unprofessional. I've been in customer service roles for 25+ years and that was very disheartening. Luckily, it wasn't worse than it was.

It’s Okay

This place is ok. The TV worked sometimes, the fan in the bathroom didn’t work and made it hot and uncomfortable and the carpet is just dirty. There were a few drug addicts in the parking lot.

We arrived 10 mins before check in and was told expedia overbooked our room, double king suite, so we didn't get the room we booked. We didn't check in until about 3:20. The staff was accomodating and put us in 2 rooms side by side, a little inconvient for us logistically, but it was okay. The walls are thin, you can hear every step and noise from the next rooms and in the hall. The hotel was fully booked the weekend we were there and it seemed there were people outside in the parking lot and walking/stomping through the halls at all hours. Facility was pretty clean overall. We had a small fridge and microwave. Costco is right across the street and lots of fast food as well as resturants within driving distance(5-10mins). Breakfast is standard- eggs, sausage/bacon, muffins, bagels pancakes, fruits-the usual. It's about 20-30 mins away from a lot of attactions in the SD area. Staff is super friendly.

I could not stay over night here. It is not safe. It was the worst hotel I have ever booked. It still has people living in it. It was a low level weekly. I would never have a family stay here. You had to ring a door bell to get into lobby. Grandma was in lobby with her pajamas on. Stains on carpet. I was adjacent to an alley.
