"The hotel was nice and clean, and I loved that pets were allowed. The staff was friendly. I did have to pay for parking. No keyed re-entry to the stairwells, so if your room is at the end of the hall, you have to go back to the elevator to re-enter.2018-09-26"
"Nice hotel, and within walking distance to the trolley to local attractions. The room was nicely decorated, and the beds were comfortable. Good breakfast. There was a charge for parking, though.2015-12-10"
"I loved the room. Check this hotel out.2021-09-04"
"The motel was run-down and in need of repair. The front desk clerk gave me incorrect directions. The only positive was that the place was clean. The bag breakfast was a joke. Find another place to stay.2021-07-10"

"A party started at 10:30 PM; I called the hotel clerk about it, but the noise continued until 2:30 AM. I wasn't happy.2018-02-20"
"The motel badly needed maintenance. Our room was above the laundry room and was always hot. There was no carpet, and the tiles were peeling off the floor. The parking lot was small. I won't stay here again.2018-12-06"
"Convenient to downtown, Balboa Park, SeaWorld, Fashion Valley Mall, and many other attractions. The room rate was reasonable and included WiFi and continental breakfast. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The only downside was that I lost an item of clothing that I assume was gathered up with the laundry, and the hotel staff was unable to locate it. The breakfast room got crowded, so go early. I definitely recommend this motel to anyone looking for an inexpensive place to sleep.2015-07-08"

"The hotel was clean, reasonably priced, and conveniently located. Wonderful garden. Great place to stay.2016-12-24"
"Centrally located. Nice price. The 1st room had the loudest toilet I've ever heard, and the soundproofing was poor. I was moved to another room that was much quieter. Ask for a room on the upper level at the end of the building. Give this hotel a try.2016-10-17"
"Close to the trolley, so it was easy to get around and get to SDCCU Stadium. There was a Food For Less within walking distance. Good hotel overall. The room had a fridge and microwave.2019-01-06"

"The hotel room was comfortable and had good amenities. The only problem was that turning off the main light also turned off the TV. Friendly, informative check-in clerk.2018-02-26"
"Clean hotel with courteous employees. Parking was tight.2016-04-24"
"Check-in was a nightmare since I was paying for a friend's room. The hotel staff wanted a copy of my credit card e-mailed to them. Don't stay here.2019-10-03"

"The hotel was extremely clean, and the staff was friendly.2015-08-06"
"The motel was less than a mile from the Naval Medical Center. The door didn't seem secure, so I didn't feel comfortable. There was a musty smell throughout the building. Parking cost $20. Definitely not a 3-star place.2021-11-01"
"An OK hotel. You get what you pay for.2016-12-28"
"This was the hotel from hell. There was trash under the bed. The towels were stained, and we only got 1 bar of soap for 4 people. When we asked for more, the staff told us that was all we were getting. There were tiny flies in the cups in the room. The breakfast bread was in zip lock bags. I'll never stay here again.2015-08-13"
"The hotel was convenient to downtown events. The room was clean. Great staff, and they were attentive to our needs. Pay the extra fee for parking. If you park on the main street, you'll be subject to parking meter fees before 6 AM. A very good experience indeed.2015-07-02"
"The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet. I was charged for the in-room safe, which I didn't use.2018-09-27"
"The room was spacious and clean. The underground parking cost $16 per night for guests, but park and cruise was just $5 per night. The hotel had a free shuttle to and from the ship.2018-05-13"
"Nice hotel. The room was spacious, but the heater was noisy when it cycled off. The bathtub was small. Friendly employees and great customer service. No meat at breakfast.2018-01-14"
"The hotel wasn't what I expected. The carpet in my room looked and smelled new but needed airing out. Superb front desk clerks and shuttle drivers. Breakfast was a real treat. Good place for a short stay.2017-12-04"
"A quiet, basic hotel. The room had a microwave, fridge, and 1-cup coffee maker, and both coffee and hot water for tea were available in the lobby. No one bothered us.2017-07-08"
"Great experience overall. The hotel staff was professional and friendly, and pets were accommodated. Had to pay for parking, though, and the nearest park for pets was a few miles away.2019-01-15"
"Good rates. The hotel room was clean, and everything was perfect. Fast check-in. I can't wait to go back.2021-11-08"
"I wasn't satisfied with the quality of this hotel. The hospitality was fine, but the carpet was dirty and hadn't been vacuumed, and the AC didn't work well. There was mold on the shower wall. I should have stayed in my car.2021-08-28"
"Hotel room was small but clean. Nice pool area and restaurant.2015-02-22"
"The room was well-appointed, but the hotel was so noisy that I couldn't sleep even with the provided ear plugs. The staff and valets were helpful and efficient. Good breakfast, and the attendant helped us get a to-go container.2020-02-21"
"The hotel staff was pleasant and helpful, and I liked the valet service. Breakfast wasn't economical.2018-07-27"
"The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Nice place to stay.2016-01-26"
"The room was clean and nicely appointed. However, there were no hangers in the armoire, and there was no fridge. There was an ironing board, but no iron. Traffic noise from I-5 made it difficult to sleep. There were lines of people at the elevators, and the security cards rarely worked. No airport shuttle. Find another hotel.2021-06-01"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
