I could see daylight around the door frame. People fighting in next room were very loud and easily heard. As soon as the door opens you are in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The room was well worn but clean.

These rooms were cold and depressing. No comforters on the bed, just a thin flat sheet and a thin blanket folded in the cubby. Front desk had no idea what a comforter was when asked.

Bad experience
I had bought 2 new boxes of tampons because I started my period unexpectedly. My husband drove late to the store to get them. I opened one box and set them both in the bathroom one unopened and took some to Disneyland. When we got back, both boxes were missing. I took it up with hotel management and they treated me like an inconvenience, and acted like I made the entire thing up. The maid had cleaned that day, our stuff was moved and the boxes were gone. I do not like the way they treat their guests. I was reimbursed 16 dollars for the 2 boxes, however the maid lied and said she didn’t see any tampons. There is no logical explanation for 2 brand new boxes to go missing. They made a mistake and lied about it, as well as talked to me as if I made the whole thing up. Won’t be staying here again, because of the treatment. Rooms were nice for the price. Family room is spacious.

The night managers were kind and helpful during my stress level from the other hotel cancelling. They were there to help each time I went in to ask for directions or needing help finding local places to eat. Definitely would suggest them to others and will call them next time I head to San Diego.

This is the second time I have stayed here. Highly recommend. I stayed on the second floor this time. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Wasn't loud ever, even when staying right near the stairwell. All staff I encountered, were lovely. Parking is at $15 a day, but if you choose to do so, they'll just use the deposit made at check-in towards it at the end of your stay. Definitely will come back.
