Not the best

The room smelled bad. The shower sink didn’t work so the water was stuck. It was a tick on my head as soon as I get out of the room. I paid for a breakfast but they just offered bread, waffles and oatmeal. Parking is $15 per night

S

We checked in and since we booked from a third party they didnt want to give us free parking like it said when we first booked the hotel, they wanted to charge us $15 to park inside and so we sisnt want to pay more. So we had to park on the street. Good thing the entrance to the elevator was near the street where we parked. The room was ok the only thing was that they painted over there furniture they had and we kept getting it on our hands, elbows, clothing. And we werent the only one's with fresh paint i guess they did it to all the rooms but they never checked if it was dried, there were other guest with the same issues. Too bad we couldnt cancel the reservation due to being a 3rd party and we wouldn't get refunded back. They put a $200 hold on my card after i already had payed thru Hotels.com, hopefully they dont charge me anything else but i think next time will go thru the hotels website without any 3rd party's. I know you get discounts but the hotels you go to dont want to honor what you're booking. The breakfast was good homemade waffles didnt have more breakfast but cereal. Last we had someone trying to get into our room late last night it was scary good thing it was lock thru the inside. But i wont be staying at the old western inn anymore.

I stayed here to have access to the San Diego Trolley more than anything else, and while the on-site ammenities are somewhat limited, the location, value and condition make it a great place to stay. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable with great pillows. There is a small breakfast available to guests consisting of waffles, toast, muffins and juice, which is nice but a bit of fresh fruit would have made a big difference. Still, I enjoyed the easy access to both transit and the attractions at Old Town State Park, and the price was very good for the location. If you just need a place to sleep and store your stuff while adventuring around San Diego, this inn fits the bill perfectly.

We were on a tight schedule upon arrival, so it was disappointing to learn that our room was not ready, especially since it was already past 3:00 PM, the standard check-in time. While we waited, we noticed that several other guests—at least five or six—were checked in and given rooms before us. I asked the front desk if any room was available, even if it wasn’t the exact type I booked, but was told I would need to wait for the specific room I reserved. Unfortunately, this led to a delay of over 30 minutes before I received my room. My brother-in-law, who arrived with us, waited even longer—about an hour and a half. This delay caused us to be late for an important event we were attending, which was incredibly frustrating.

The room was spacious and nice. I like the counter space. Close to the bathroom, lots of room for the toiletries. Just not very efficient how appliances were placed or set up. Like the table is on the other end of the room far from the microwave and refrigerator.. The breakfast was also a joke. Breakfast was juat cereal, bread and coffee and the space to get breakfast was so small.

It's was okay but $18.00 for parking? The breakfast included only waffles, milk, coffee, some cereal and some bread, so to me this is continental breakfast only and it should be posted as a continental breakfast only. ☺️ The housekeeping lady was very nice, I can't remember her name but she was very helpful.
