Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely Disgusting – Stay Away! This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, the room smelled terrible—like mold and chemicals mixed together. It was genuinely hard to breathe, and I honestly don’t think the air was healthy. To make things worse, I found spiders in the room, the bathtub was clogged, and the night lamp didn’t even work. The entire place was filthy—dust everywhere, dirty floors, and stains that clearly hadn’t been cleaned in who knows how long.

Great central location

Very thin walls. Neighbors were loud in the middle of the night--hotel staff were receptive to noise complaint and handled the issue promptly. Beds are very firm. The hotel is showing it’s age--not rundown or trashy at all, simply in need of some refreshing. Soundproofing or sound dampening would be great. The property is centrally located in Mission Valley with pretty easy access to major SD attractions. You can get closer to individual locations, but overall location is a winner. A couple restaurants at the hotel mean you don't NEED to leave to eat, but there are many dining options working a 5 or 10 minute radius. Pool is large with a nice hot tub and plenty of seating to be had.
