Wonderful 3 night stay
The staff was wonderful, the breakfast and breakfast room was well maintained and well stocked with good food and refreshments. The room was comfortable and temperature controlled. The carpets could be due for upgrading but they weren’t bad just dated and a little worn. Great restaurants within walking distance. All in all a very nice place to stay.

Less than BW standards
Beds were relatively comfortable and room was clean. Can't watch tv because Direct TV service keeps cutting out. Pool and hot tub when open was barely adequate. Staff seemed lazy and not helpful. Will not stay again

Pretty good overall my only Complaints would be The hotel is very close to the freeway so it is very noisy all day and all night with the cars and my room was next to the maid's equipment room so every morning I would hear a lot of banging and talking. But I liked that there was a lot of parking the breakfast was pretty good the staff was nice And the rooms were decent.

Disappointed with room
I booked a room which specifically in the description says it has a balcony. When I checked in and went to the room there was no balcony. I asked the staff what happened and they told me the room I booked didn't qualify as a room with a balcony. Either they need to fix the website's description or I need to be compensated some type of way.

Excellent stay
The hotel and room are better than the photos show. The room is spacious and clean with renewed bathroom. Bed and pillow are very comfortable. Free breakfast offers wide selections including many hot items. There was even a DIY pancake machine, and my daughter had many funs with it. Parking is free and easy. Free bottled water and 24-hour hot coffee and chocolate at the lobby. Though in December, the pool and hot tub are still open full day. The hot tub is really "hot" and comfortable, and my daughter played in it happily every day during our stay. The only problem is the noise from the freeway at night. It was like strange winds blowing. Overall, it was an excellent stay, and we will choose to stay again when we are back to San Diego.

This is a dated property that has been updated a little to meet minimum standards for this brand name. Very tight parking in places. Not recommended for trailers. hallway rugs very old but rooms seem remodeled. Rooms relatively clean but toilet wobbled on mounts. Location is RIGHT next to the interstate so it was very noisy. NO CAFFINATED COFFEE for room coffee makers, even at desk. Not cool. Tolerable but photos are misleading.
