Do not recommend.
I could not stay, my room had a broken window. I left as soon as i got in the room. The carpet was dirty and sticky. The ac unit did not cool and the room smelled of mildew. I could not breathe. The room triggered bad allergies. The gentleman in the office was nice and kind. But my room was all the way on the third floor with no elevators and with a toddler, not safe. The furniture in the room was all beat up, i think it was chewed, perhaps by a dog, the fridge was rusted and falling apart at the bottom. I did not feel safe.

It’s a death trap. Stay away. Black mold on the carpet and in the bathroom. I’m going to contact the health department to get them to shut down the hotel. These conditions are prevalent through out the property. I’m attempting to engage legal help for injuries sustained since I’m highly allergic to black mold. I was told to contact Expedia since the property has authorized a refund and taken the room out of circulation. That’s ok but doesn’t help my lung issues because of black mold. Stay away if you value your health.

The environment around the Inn was visually undesirable. Upon entering the room, it smelled "wet" and in the bath tub, there were little black bugs crawling in it..(Bed Bugs?). I left the room and got my $ refunded. What a Terrible Experience!

I chose this hotel for the location not the amenities and I wasn’t expecting anything fancy. On check-in my room was clean and staff was very kind and helpful. Unfortunately the property itself is in bad shape, and while there always seemed to be cleaning and maintenance staff around working they just couldn’t keep up with the needs of the property. Although I stayed for 6 nights, there was never any housekeeping (not so much as a towel and toiletry top-up or garbages emptied). Pool chairs are dirty and in rough shape, and I never saw anyone clean or test water quality in either the pool or hot tub. Tables in the breakfast room were sticky. The staff genuinely seems to be doing the best they can, but the whole place needs a power-washing and freshening up. I try to have modest expectations when booking a budget hotel but I will stay somewhere else (and less convenient) next time business takes me to San Diego

We were in Campland most of the day so we only stayed here to sleep. It is only about 7 minutes away from Campland. We arrived at almost midnight. I was a little scared to arrive at that time, specially with little ones. However, upon arrival the hotel had so much lighting and staff made us feel safe. The room was clean and pretty specious.

Waffles, but no elevator!
Rooms were clean, fluffy towels, shampoo/conditioner smelled good, coffee maker convenience. Had to switch rooms to the bottom floor due to the only elevator they had was broken. There's 3 floors. Satellite TV had no signal, had to get our room keys reprogrammed every night, we were there for 5 nights. SD Trolley stations are close by - Balboa Station is 3 minutes away, or you can walk to Clairemont Station. Daily breakfast was satisfying - make your own fluffy waffles, yogurt, cereal, toast, oatmeal, juices, coffee/tea/hot cocoa. I'd come back. For the price they charged during Comic Con, that elevator should be fixed by next week! Plenty of parking. No area light by the pool during the evening. Vending machine had $4.00 drinks. There is a 7-11 across the street.

This place is fine for a one night stay. It is a bit run down but the staff was friendly and the beds felt clean. The AC worked really well too. If you need a cheaper hotel for 1 night this place works. If your looking for all the bells and whistle them go spend more money.

Not a great experience.
I appreciated the front desk adjusting my reservation to a bb ottom floor room upon discovering the elevator was out of service. Beyond that, the staff at the front desk at check in was not welcoming or customer service minded and unprofessionally dressed. The bed was comfortable, but the TV did not connect to all the channels listed and the shower was a unique faucet design and there were no instructions to get the showerhead to work. The room was dated and far from the pictures in the app. In the morning, the housekeeping staff was not considerate of the guests and woke us early. The front desk staff at checkout was mucu friendlier and professional.

I expected a room with two beds instead was placed in a room with a hide a bed and a cot that my grandson could not sleep on as the springs kept poking him. The smell in the room was horrible and the furniture drawers were broken. For $250 dollars a night I expected a nicer more welcoming hotel.

This was the worst place I have ever stayed; it was so bad we checked out a day early. There were stains on the lamp shades, mold in the bathroom, urine smell permeating from the carpet, and sheets and towels rough and dingy. There was loud fighting from other hotel patrons throughout the night. Sirens throughout the day and night going by. I can't believe Expedia has this hotel as one of the choices.
