Pros:

Location, hot tub, staff were nice

Cons:

Expensive for just a motel, even if the sign says hotel. Its a motel
Smelt like we were the firsts guest in that room this year. Like that musty motel smell.
Not enough cups for coffee machine. Like 1 cup for the family. Had to hunt them down each day.

Pros:

Nic

Cons:

Nie oceniam hotelu, bo mi odwołali rezerwację, a dowiedziałem się o tym gdy tam dojechałem, nie pobrali środków z karty, tylko poprostu odwołali i tyle, zero wytłumaczenia i powiedzieli, że nie mają już nic wolnego i dowidzenia

Nie wróciłabym tutaj drugi raz.
Pros:

Na plus duży przestronny pokój, wygodne łóżko, suszarka do włosów i darmowy parking.

Cons:

W pokoju unosił się zapach papierosów. Robaki w łazience. Niskie ciśnienie wody pod prysznicem, co znacznie wydłużało mycie się - najgorszy prysznic podczas całego miesięcznego wyjazdu po USA. Dodatkowo co chwilę musiałam chodzić do recepcji naładować kartę, bo nie otwierała drzwi do pokoju. Jednego razu przechodzący ochroniarz otworzył drzwi do pokoju - nie sprawdzał czy na pewno to mój pokój i mógł wpuścić losową osobę z zewnątrz!

Pros:

The price is good, the staff were friendly

Cons:

Dirty floor, the blanket smelt awful. There is also a sewage smell coming from the tap when the water is running. The furniture is shabby.

Zentrale Lage, guter Preis
Pros:

Tolle Lage um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in San Diego anzuschauen, guter Preis, sehr grosse Zimmer.

Cons:

Es liegt direkt am viel befahrenen Highway was sehr praktisch ist aber wirklich laut. Ich bin sonst nicht so sensibel mit Strassenlärm aber hier hatte ich auch Mühe.
