I stay here for the proximity to the beach. And that's IT.
Pros:

It was close to the beach.

Cons:

The staff couldn't care less. The grounds leave a lot to be desired. The amount of space under the doors could invite any manner of small species through it. Lots of transients. VERY noisy, and I'm not talking about the airplanes.

Mejor busca otra opción
Pros:

Tiene parking. Al lado del aeropuerto si es lo que necesitas.

Cons:

Falta de limpieza. No hay jabones ni secador del pelo. Personal muy seco. Mucho ruido de las habitaciones de alrededor. El sonido de los aviones es muy molesto si tienes el sueño ligero.
Un abuso el precio para lo que te ofrecen. No volveríamos.

Pros:

Bylo to cca 5min autem od letiště. Velká výhoda. Ale nad hlavou vám neustále lítají letadla.

Pay the extra 10-20-30 dollars and get a better location.
Pros:

Was quite dirty, pool was dirty and had loads rubbish and pool toys left in it so didn’t want to use, room was clean to a point but showers had what looked to be where someone shaved in there, make up on the bed sheets so that means they definitely weren’t changed. After I checked out I was told I would get my deposit back provided I didn’t damage anything or carried on smoking, I replied to the guy “I don’t smoke” so I take it I ain’t getting my deposit back from that remark. Was only a night stop over for me and I picked it as this chain of hotels are normally good but I won’t use again.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

La posizione baricentrica a San Diego e anche gli insonorizzazione delle stanze vista la vicinanza con l’aeroporto. una bella Chicca anche la lavanderia peccato non si potesse pagare con la carta però davvero davvero comoda per chi utilizza questa struttura come appoggio per un road trip come noi.

Think I’d go out of my way to avoid this place again
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Only allows one car for parking- when I asked prior to finalizing stay they did not mention this.
Dirty floors and not as clean in areas like walls, window, fridge etc
Staff was okay - always short and never helpful.
Staff is rude when you ask about parking.
Our check out was delayed because our door key stopped working because of low battery. When we went to the front desk at 7am because we were locked out of the room, staff was so suspicious of us, questioning if we should already be checked out (at 6:30am lol?) and extremely rude.
