I chose this Homewood Suites for its good ratings and location centrally located. It is close to a freeway entrance and made it easy to get around San Diego. However, I have to comment that the walls for our room were so thin, that the noise level coming from the adjacent rooms next to us and above us was unbearable. I am a relatively light sleeper, so hearing people walk around above us and the conversations and activity next door to us made it very difficult to get any rest while in the room. I noticed the issue as soon as we checked in and quickly ask the front desk staff to change rooms, but unfortunately they said the hotel was all booked and basically gave me the shrug and "there is nothing we can do" comments. I was hoping it was an isolated incidence of noise, but it didn't let up the entire time of our stay. I don't think we were alone either in dealing with the thin walls as I noticed a nearby resident also standing outside his door trying to determine where the noise he was experiencing was coming from. The problem is that all the walls are too thin. Noise was coming from above us and around us. I think this is a fatal flaw for anyone considering staying at this hotel. When you have many families traveling to this destination and trying to enjoy themselves (which I don't fault), but the rooms are so poorly constructed that I could literally hear what people are saying (no privacy), we ultimately checked out a night early because it was so bad.

Average

Amenities looks good in the pictures. But it wasn't as advertised. Lights on the living area inside the room is not working, kitchen doesnt have enough bowls in the kitchenette. No towels by the swimming pool. But the ladies in the front desk both checking in and out were the sweetest and very friendly.

Very friendly staff upon checking in. Quiet, clean atmosphere. Once inside room: very stiff and uncomfortable sofa in sitting area, padding on chairs was so worn out you sank into chair, cheap very thin toilet paper in bathroom. Breakfast in morning didn’t get any better. Too expensive for amenities!!

The beds and linens were not great. The mattresses are past due for replacement and the linens were jokingly called prison blankets during our stay. The room was quiet enough and the room had plenty of space. The pool was unheated and tiny, but we were expecting that based on reviews. The breakfast was great and the service was good throughout our stay.

The hotel was great-close to everything, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, and the breakfast was great. The parking situation would be my only complaint, nightly parking charge. This should be included in the nightly rate, in my opinion.

Room was spacious enough. Sinks hardly drain. Parking is a joke. Pay $26 per night yet there are no spots to park. Spent over an hour waiting to park. 2 cribs were not in room as requested. They brought them then forgot a mattress. Had to wait for that too.
