Staff was friendly and accommodating. (2-night stay) Room for 3-adults (2-queen size beds) and 2-kids (pull out sofa). Liked the fact that pull out sofa was located in seperate area with its own tv and a sliding door to close area off. Pull out sofa bed was bad. Very cheap and dirty plastic like cover. Mattress was thin, lumpy, and... More

OK, read the other reviews. They are generally accurate, so no need to repeat here. But, you weren't expecting the Ritz-Carlton, were you? The hotel is dated, every room is packed, and service is average, but the Comfort Inn is still a good value. I'll expand on a few items: The rooms are huge. The bathroom is also huge and... More

We stayed for 3 nights, as it says in the title close to SeaWorld and the Zoo, don't drive? The hotel provides a FREE shuttle to anywhere you want to go (utterly brilliant). The room was great and large for the price, included breakfast which was more of a continental approach but great for an included price. Free Wifi, but... More

This hotel is in a great location for vacationing in San Diego, very close to many of the cities attractions. Kudos to the staff; when we arrived at our room I quickly noticed the noise of a busy highway right outside our window. I immediately went back down are requested a room away from the highway and the staff was... More

We only stayed one night after a busy day at Sea World, and had to catch a very early flight. The location is close to Sea World and the airport, so it is very convenient. The room was pretty clean and well appointed. The front desk staff are friendly and very helpful. We left too early for breakfast, so I... More

This was my first time in a Comfort Inn in a long time. My last experience was pretty bad, so my expectations were not high this time. On entry into the property, I noticed that the exterior looked nice but the parking was cramped, especially for folks driving in large vehicles. But I can overlook that given where we were.... More

I normally don't think of this chain when looking for hotels, but I was pleasantly surprised. They have kid suites - an extra room for the kids, with TV and a bunk bed. It's a great option to give everyone a little breathing space. The grownup area wasn't that roomy, but overall we were very comfortable. The staff was friendly,... More

You can't beat the price and location of this hotel. We booked on Expedia. Our family loved the bunk-beds. I was a bit leery after reading some reviews about cleanliness, but our room was excellent. The breakfast was good, a little crowded, but it gave us a chance to mingle with some other travelers. The only drawback was paying for... More

We found this to be a great place for our larger family. Our room had two doubles in one room and another room with a sleeper sofa and second tv separated by a sliding door. The AAA price for this mid-week was reasonable. There was a parking charge, but it was clearly listed on the website so not a surprise.... More
