Once Fine Hotel Sold to City for Homeless Shelter On 14 Oct 2020 the city council voted to buy this property to transform it into a homeless shelter. It has clearly been in negotiations for months as standards have slipped. Staff was reduced by about 85% and exterior areas are showing wear. If the city timetable holds, this hotel will have to be closed very soon for modifications. It has been around for 32 years and owners and management always provided a safe and clean environment. Rooms are still clean but showing wear. If you book here it is best to have a backup plan as they may close with little notice. Very sad to see this one go.

My Go-To San Diego Hotel When I travel to SD every couple years, it's always for a few months at a time, and this is my go-to place to stay. It's a bit of a drive from my work location, but it beats staying in some corporate apartment in Mission Valley. The rooms are dated, but I love the villa style and the pool is wonderful. I work nights when I'm there, so they give me an upstairs room, and the housekeeping staff is able to work around my schedule. I'll be there again this summer, and look forward to another stress free stay!

We thought the price was unusually high - but the hotel itself is okay So, here we are on the precipice of a travel bust, and the hotels will soon be struggling to fill rooms. And, while NO ONE wants a faltering economy (myself among those at the top of that list), airlines are doing their part to ensure customers are well taken care of, allowing changes, reducing prices ... hotels seem to be taking advatage of higher occupancy in the short term. So, we paid $368 for a larger room, and while it suited our needs, this is NOT the del Coronado nor is it on the shores of Mission Bay. The room was older, but certainly clean. Plenty of parking in the back of the hotel. The front desk person was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was certainly on par with most hotel breakfasts. The location is actually convenient to most attractions (eg. zoo, Coronado, Sea World etc) and even the airport, as long as you have a car. Ubering from Kearny Mesa might get expensive. Kearny Mesa is a moderately industrial area, one thing we noticed is that the hotel backs up to the yard where the garbage trucks park - so in the morning (5 ish), constant beeping (reverse) and flashing yellow lights. That might get annoying after a while. There is also a self-storage area behind the hotel ... we didn't see anyone coming or going. Back in the positive column, the room was large and looked exactly as advertised. Everything (micro, refrigerator, heat/AC) worked properly. We do wish, however, that the hotel had streaming movies available. You know what they say ... you can wish in one hand and ... All-in-all, I would return, but NOT at that price. It was exhorbitant for what we got.

Good choice! Our room was a villa/apartment-style and we had no noise issues. We were a group of five and I liked that we had room to spread out. We also had two bathrooms and a full kitchen. Breakfast was buffet style with a lot of choices! Also liked that we were near Convoy Street which has a huge selection of varying Asian food choices.

Great staff - hotel needs work We were a nightmare family for these staffers- added rooms, removed rooms, asked for different kind of rooms. They accommodated our party of 17 graciously, and made sure everyone had what they needed. The food was about what you’d expect for buffet fare, but our family did enjoy several breakfasts there. Everyone mentioned that the beds were good. BUT...all the carpets are in need of replacement. I was in 5 separate rooms/suites and every one of them had worn, dirty and torn carpets. Really Gross. The exterior of the building had a lot of siding loose or falling off. Housekeeping was pretty lax as well. Had to call for them 2 days for failure to appear by 6pm. There was a ball of string on a side table that was there when we arrived, and stayed for 3 days.
