My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location was excellent, right next to Presidio Park and close to the highways and Mission Valley Mall, but there were some cleanliness issues with the rooms and a leak in the bathroom that needed maintenance attention. The staff was a bit dismissive about the problems, although they tried to address them eventually.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms smelled badly of smoke, and there were stained sheets, dirty carpet, and a serious leak in the bathroom. We had to ask for a spray at the office, but it didn't help much. On the bright side, the room did come equipped with a fridge and microwave.
Service
6.0
The service was good overall, although we felt like the hotel should consider closing down for a while to get everything in order before reopening. There was a slight issue that needed fixing, and the staff seemed to imply that we were somehow at fault for it.
Location
7.0
The location was exactly what I was hoping for, being conveniently located next to Presidio Park and close to the highways and Mission Valley Mall. However, despite this positive aspect, I encountered some difficulties in the area around the hotel.
Dining
5.0
The breakfast was continental, but it lacked options like eggs and sausage, offering only pastries, bread, croissants, and similar items. It could be improved with a more varied selection, including maybe a waffle maker.
Facilities
5.0
The facilities needed some attention, especially in terms of room cleanliness and maintenance. The leak in the bathroom was a serious issue that should have been addressed promptly.

My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The room was clean and comfortable, meeting my expectations for this type of hotel at a good price. However, there was a slight smell of smoke and mildew. The service was not as helpful and a bit rude at times, which was disappointing. The location was convenient for accessing the freeway, but the hotel exterior needed improvement. The dining options were limited, with only a few items available. In terms of facilities, it was adequate but not exceptional.

The hotel is conveniently close to many places in San Diego and offers clean and neat rooms, although not matching the online pictures. The service was commendable despite some small inconveniences. The location is central but needs some improvement to the exterior. The dining options were limited and not impressive.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms, though clean and neat, looked shabby with stains on the walls and peeling paint. The moldy carpet gave a terrible smell.
Service

The service was quite good, especially with only one staff member handling everything, even if there were some minor issues like the lack of change for transactions.
Location

The central location of the hotel in San Diego was convenient, although the area was a bit run down and undergoing remodeling. It could be more appealing.
