The only thing this hotel has going for it is its location
Where do I begin...Well to start we pulled up to an outdoor window to check in, talking to the lady through a glass window like you were at the bank. We were put in a room that doesn't even need to be remolded more like demolished. The rooms have not been touched for years. The carpet is pulling away from the walls, the chairs and carpet have cigarette burns in them, the rooms (non-smoking) smell of musty mold and cigarettes. The walls have dings and holes all over the place and the refrigerator did not work in the room. When we approached the class window to ask for a new room because our refrigerator wasn't working the room smelled horribly we were given a lot of attitude form the red headed lady working the front desk. She first tired telling us that they didn't have any more rooms and then when asked for a non-smoking room that didn't smell of cigarettes she annoyingly told us "Well it's not our fault that people don't follow the rules." I wasn't expecting much for the price but at least a clean room. It did say dog friendly, which is nice but you have to pay a fee for the dog per night. You are allowed to only let your dog go to the bathroom on their "dog patch" which was supposed to be a grassy area. However as you can imagine we went to the "dog area" which was a little 10x10 diamond shape patch in the back of the parking lot consisting of only dirt. The very few patches of grass around the hotel do not allow dogs. Skip the "pastries" in the morning the taste like the cheap pastries' you would get from a gas station with lots of preservatives in them. The only positive thing about the hotel was by far the location, its located close to mission beach, down town etc. It wasn't more than a 15-20 min drive to every place we went to.
