Lengthy but worth reading.
My husband and I booked this hotel due to the low price and beautiful pictures on their website (we were not on a very low budget but noticed that this hotel looked really pretty for the price). The first thing I noticed after checking in was that their room keys were old motel-like keys (believe it or not this has a lot to say about this hotel because a MOTEL is exactly what it ended up being). The walk to our room was amazing (tons of flowers, palm trees, and plants, it almost felt like a secret garden maze). However, once in the room, it set in that this place was like a cheap motel with good landscaping. The room itself was pretty big for two adults and one child and was also pretty clean for the most part. The equipment however (ac unit, shower head, t.v., etc...) were very old. The worst part though was how filthy the carpets were (black feet immediately). Overall it was not a bad room if you need to stay a night or 2 max but any longer than that I would definitely suggest an actual hotel. This place is definitely NOT family friendly. Although no one bothered us during our stay and we got luck enough to have a room away from all of the noise, the vast majority of people who were staying at this location were lower class. Also, their breakfast is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to what their picture shows. I have been on vacation in the midwest part of the United States for about 1 month now and this hotel had the worst breakfast I have encountered during my travels. Please do not stay here especially if you have children. Oh and one more thing. I noticed a review about a year or so ago said that during their stay, this hotel said free internet coming soon so I need to add that their prices are still the same for internet today, such an inconveinience for such a crappy place. I don't know San Diego at all but it seems like this hotel is in a bad part of town. I hope this review helps any one to not make the same mistake we made (we have now switched hotels and are soooo much more comfortable).
