I stayed here for the 2008 ESRI Conference, not exactly sure what to expect as one of the few hotels still in downtown that costs less than $200/night during the conference. It's only a few minutes walk to the trolley line (or a 20-25 minute walk to the convention center). The room was very nice, quiet, with a good bed... more

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in mid-July. We were on a road trip up the coast and started in San Diego. We really liked this small hotel. The staff was nice and we loved all of the plants and garden like features. It really made it seem like a garden in the middle of the city.... more

We stayed at this gem of a hotel for 3 nights pre-cruise. It is a small 2 storey garden oasis surrounded by high-rise towers. The staff were very friendly, the room was quiet and clean and a reasonable size, the bathroom small but perfectly fine. The breakfast was much better than I expected - cereal and pastries, fruit, juice, and... more

Staff was friendly and responsive. I asked for directions one time and the check-in lady was overly-helpful. The continental breakfast in the morning was not your crappy bread and fruit breakfast. They actually had eggs, bacon/sausage and other good foods. We were pleasantly surprised. The location was very close to the Gaslamp. A little bit of a walk, but not... more

I stayed there for a short time during a busy conference week. The place was quiet and clean. I loved the flowers and the easy access outside. Breakfast was served in the morning and I could eat it at one of tables set outside. Good way to start the day! The staff was friendly and helpful, and made me feel... more

I just wanted to let you know that this hotel was really GREAT. Instead of feeling like hotel, it felt more like staying at someone's home. The staff was very friendly and willing to help out if we needed anything. It was the first time I felt like a guest instead of a customer. You should be very proud of... more

My husband and I were looking for a reasonably priced hotel/motel near the Gaslamp District of San Diego for one night (Padres ball game). I found the Best Western for just over $100 compared to the huge prices of nearby hotels. We could see Petco Park from the parking lot - straight down 8th Avenue - about 10 blocks. Essentially,... more

I would definitely recommend this place for those on a budget looking for something that does NOT make them squeamish! This little motel is very conveniently located close the the freeway, and the Gaslamp district. I came to San Diego for a girls weekend getaway with my best friend, and we felt very comfortable to stay here. It is NOT... more

The hotel is located in a crummy part of town. After looking at our room, my wife and I left to find another hotel, as she did not feel safe this this part of town. Even after cancelling the room by phone, the hotel refused to refund the deposit. The hotel lobby is tiny. It's about 15 by 15 feet.... more

Management response from

We could not disagree more with this review, which is completely unfair and inaccurate, and, in our view, motivated by the reviewer’s unsuccessful attempt to contest with Best Western Customer Service a valid hotel charge imposed by our facility. The reviewer threatened to “bad mouth” our facility if we did not accede to his improper demand, and this is apparently...
