You get what you pay for
We were looking for a cheaper hotel in San Diego but not a scuzzy hotel. I wouldn't say this hotel was scuzzy, but definitely wasn't what I expected for a Ramada by looking at the pictures. First, when I checked in, I found that the king room that I reserved was unavailable and we had to settle for a double queen. We got to the room and it was just tiny. Second, the Pool was a long walk all outside to the back 40 of the hotel. When we got out to the pool, there were no towels. So the long walk back to the lobby in our suits to get towels. THe pool and hot tub were also not very clean. leaves and dirt at the bottom.Third, The elevator sounded like a dying cow, and we noticed the inspection report was 2 years overdue. Not a big deal but kind of weird for a hotel to not have up to date inspection reports. 
Breakfast was okay, although the bagels were stale all 3 days we stayed there. 
The door to our room did not close and latch without jimmying the door handle. Room service cleaned our room, and when we got back, found the room was unlocked and anyone could have gone in. That was annoying! Not like we had any valuables, but still...
Overall a cheap hotel and not what I expected from a Ramada, but I guess you get what you pay for! If you want a decent hotel, you're going to have to pay more money. Lesson learned!
