The place was good for spending one night. The bed was comfortable. However, I would look it up on Google Maps prior to making a reservation. We were expecting to be able to walk to and from Petco Park, but after the game we took a Lyft, as the amount of homeless people in the area made us feel unsafe at night.

I checked in and checked out within 30 minutes. Be aware this hotel room is nothing like the post. The lock on the window was broken, clearly the result of a forced entry. Half the swing lock was missing on the door so that could not be locked either. The surrounding area of the lodge had people doing drugs. Safety was the biggest concern. The room also had a ton of bugs in the bathtub and on the bed. Smaller issues included a dirty lamp shade and hair in the microwave.

The customer service they have had in this property was terrible. The gentleman that works in the front desk has no people's skills and no customers service skills whatsoever. Giving this place a one star, it's too much. They deserve a 0 stars. Not only that, I asked a gentleman, the days I was gonna stay there and I gave them permission to charge me for those days. He did not charge me for that 1 day and to top it all off. I just noticed when I got home. That they charge me a 100 bucks extra.Not only the customer service was bad as it is. From the rooms, some of the parts were falling off. Overall, the experience was terrible worse than terrible. I cannot even find a word that goes was terrible or bad. And not only that is bad for business, especially when they take away a $100. That wasn't supposed to be charged

ChatGPT I need help writing a bad review at a hotel with a broken ac ChatGPT Unpleasant Stay Due to Broken AC I recently stayed and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The biggest issue was the broken air conditioning in my room. Despite it being quite hot outside, the AC didn’t work, making the room unbearably warm and uncomfortable. I reported the problem to the front desk, but there was no prompt resolution. In addition to the AC problem, the staff didn’t seem particularly concerned about the inconvenience I was experiencing. They offered no alternative solution or compensation for the discomfort. I had hoped for a more pleasant and restful stay, but sadly, this was not the case. I do not recommend staying at this hotel unless they address their maintenance issues and improve their customer service.

Not advisable
Hotel is located at the end of a freeway exit ramp so there is quite a bit of traffic that results in considerable noise and a difficulty backing out of the parking spaces. Note that parking spaces are tandem, so someone may block you in. In which case you must walk to the office and have them call that person to move their car. Quite inconvenient.
