Cons:

I stayed in room 220. Throughout the night, every 2–3 hours, there was an extremely loud noise that sounded like a machine operating. The noise repeatedly woke me up and prevented me from getting any rest. To make matters worse, there was also a cockroach in the room. The location of the hotel is excellent and very convenient, which is the main reason I chose to stay here, as I had an early morning flight and needed to be close to the airport. I have stayed at this hotel several times before, usually in rooms on the first floor, and I have never experienced any issues.

Buena Ubicacion
Pros:

La ubicacion es excelente, justo a pasos del aeropuerto y del centro de la ciudad. Para nosotros que ibamos al Rock & Roll Marathon nos quedo todo caminando, la salida y sobre todo la llegada de la carrera.

Cons:

El check in fue un poco tardado ya que tenian solamente a una persona en la recepcion y habiamos bastantes personas queriendo hacer check in a la vez

Stanza spaziosa, pulita e comoda. Personale accogliente ma rumoroso a causa dell’aeroporto e non molto vicino al centro
Pros:

Abbiamo amato la comodità dei letti e la gentilezza del personale

Cons:

Purtroppo non era molto vicino al centro e tra il treno e l’aeroporto vicino eta molto rumoroso

Excelente ubicación para el Maratón de San Diego
Pros:

La ubicación fue excelente para mi viaje. Me hospedé aquí para correr el Maratón de San Diego y resultó muy conveniente, ya que pude llegar caminando tanto a la salida como a la meta. Además, hay muchos restaurantes y lugares para comer muy cerca. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme aquí para futuros eventos en la ciudad

Cons:

Lo único que podría mejorar es que el baño no contaba con shampoo ni jabón de cortesía. Afortunadamente llevé mis propios artículos de aseo, por lo que no fue un problema importante durante mi estancia.

Great stay !
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised by this motel. The room was modern, very clean, and spacious, with plenty of room for luggage and a nicely updated bathroom. The surrounding area felt safe and much more pleasant than at some other airport motels I have stayed at. Despite some of the reviews I had read beforehand, my experience was very positive, and I found the motel to offer excellent value for money.

Cons:

As expected for an airport motel, aircraft taking off and landing can be heard from the room. However, air traffic decreases significantly later in the evening, so it was not a major issue for me. During my stay, there was also a large construction project next to the property, and the work continued quite late into the night, creating a lot of noise. Unfortunately, this was beyond the motel’s control.

Way too expensive for the overall experience.
Pros:

Clean. Comfortable bed

Cons:

Too close to airport, hence noisy. No check out late - which was not cool considering the price.

Pros:

Die Betten sind bequem

Cons:

Wenig komfortabel. Oberflächen und Böden zT beschädigt, sodass es schmuddelig wirkt.
Fluglärm entsprechend der Nähe zum Flughafen- viel störender war das ständige Hupen der Bahn.
Zu teuer. Es fanden gerade Bauarbeiten statt- schön dass investiert wird. Eine vorherige Info oder Anpassung des Preises wären hier wünschenswert gewesen.

Cons:

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Upon check-in, I was charged an additional fee for early check-in. Later, some family members briefly came by to drop off luggage before their flight that evening and were not planning to stay at the hotel.

However, the front desk staff repeatedly confronted us regarding the number of people in the room, even after only four guests remained. The situation became extremely uncomfortable and felt unnecessarily hostile. Staff members entered the room to inspect it and even requested that we open the bathroom door to verify no additional guests were present. I found this behavior invasive and unprofessional.

In addition, the room itself was not in acceptable condition. The sheets had holes in them, the room appeared unclean, and there was no hot water available during our stay.

Due to the ongoing harassment and uncomfortable atmosphere, I decided to leave the hotel around 7 PM. While waiting outside for our Uber, one staff member continued staring at us, which only added to the discomfort of the experience.

Overall, I found the staff’s conduct unprofessional and the accommodations unacceptable. I will be submitting a formal complaint regarding this experience.
