The rooms were nice and clean as was the property. Desk staff, in particular, Dobri, was very helpful to us and others who we saw deal with him. Continental Breakfast was nice.

I stayed here for two nights in Mid-May. I had read previous reviews here and was expecting a decent room. I was not disappointed. Check-in was quick and easy. My room was surprisingly spacious (on the second floor) VERY comfortable bed, and a sofa. There was plenty of work space with desk and ample storage room. Good WIFI connection. Cable... More

The hotel is perfect for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot graduation...the hotel is close to lots of different places to eat or pick up the forgotten item or two. It's a clean, nice place to stay. The desk clerks MAKE this an EXCELLENT hotel. *Nala - who worked days - made a bad situation into a great fun one...we had... More

I was attending the Marine Corps Recruit Depot graduation of the grandson of a friend of mine. I needed a place to stay 4/19 to 4/20/12 and it needed to be inexpensive and walking distance to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot. I have never used a Howard Johnson before so I didn't know what to expect. I was impressed with... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in March, while at a conference at a larger/too expensive hotel near San Diego airport. This hotel is perfectly fine for the price - the rooms are comfortable and very clean, with a fridge and microwave. The front desk staff are very nice and helpful. The breakfast is adequate, nothing to write home about but... More

Booked in late at night, greeted by "Dave". A gentleman went out of his way to be helpful and was most re-assuring. I had just 'run away' from the hotel next door. I had arrived on last flight in and was tired but that place made me feel SO UNSAFE and they were horrible. I went next door to Howard... More

My boyfriend and I wanted a hotel near Sea World, San Diego. We weren't looking for anything fancy... just clean, comfortable, and inexpensive. I read reviews of nearby hotels/motels that reported roaches, filthy beds, and just not turning out to be what the person expected. The Howard Johnson was the only one with a decent review. At first, I was... More

My two sons graduated from USMC boot camp on March 2, so my wife & daughter & I flew to San Diego early and stayed at the HoJo on Rosecrans from Sunday thru Friday. It was a wise choice; close to MCRD and not far from many nice restaurants and most SD attractions. The staff at HoJo in SD is... More

We stayed here while we were in San Diego for our son's graduation from the Marines. We couldn't have asked for better people. There are free shuttles to and from the airport and the base. When everything was running way behind, the shuttle driver knew which gate to take us to that would get us in faster. Jessica at the... More
