Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When you enter the property you smell that it is the oldest hotel in San Diego. Not only that inside the room it was worse. The patio door did not open without force and once I opened it, I couldn’t close it. I had to call someone up within five minutes for them to fix it they reported the rotor was broke on the door. I then also in the same breath, asked for them to spray the room because it’s too bad for me to be there I left drove an hour and a half to get home just to sleep because it smelled that bad I couldn’t sleep. I did not return until five or six hours later. They have the money they need to renovate correctly. I asked for my money back they wouldn’t do it.

The pool was very nice. We came back to the room and there was a person just sitting in front of the entry door. Very suspicious. We waited, she left and then when we came back waking to the door she was following us. I closed the door right away after entering building. We called front desk to have security look around.

The young lady that checked us in was arrogant and aloof. She asked a question that I hadn't answered yet, and she looked at me with no patience and said, " My question?" She also irritated the guest in front of us who left muttering to herself. Very poor customer skills.

This was one of the nicest hotels we stayed at for the price. The pool was pretty big, deep, and clean looking although we didnt get a chance to use it. The room was exactly as pictured, and there is a mini fridge in the room. Under one of the side lamps. We would definitely consider staying
