“Very good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

This is a good, solid hotel where the staff tries hard to meet your needs. The price is very reasonable. The location in Hillcrest is convenient to almost everything, with plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. It is not a tourist location, but more of a real neighborhood. The suite was spacious, clean and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and up to date, the bed was very comfortable, the tvs were new. There is a free breakfast every morning, plus a coffee maker in your room, and a kitchen, should you be inclined to cook. The pool area is small, but nice (the pool is only 3' deep). The people at the desk are pleasant and very interested in helping you out. The free cookies at the desk are delish. The hotel itself is quiet, especially at night, but the area is a bit noisy because there is a big hospital around the corner. I didn't find it a problem. This was my second stay, and I don't think I will stay anywhere else in San Diego.

“Terrific, but not perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

The 2 bedroom 2 bath, full kitchen with washer/dryer was huge and suited us perfectly as we were traveling with our 2 adults sons. After one and a half weeks in Asia the convenience of a washer and dryer in the apartment was great. Note: it seemed to take forever for things to dry. I finally noticed there was a water receptacle. Once I empty it, I think it solved the problem. The only other issues, were that the were smudges on the door frames and I forgot it included breakfast and the reception did not point out the voucher. We walked out the first morning and missed our breakfast. That evening I noticed the vouchers, Small issue. The hotel have pretty grounds and it is a nice area with embassies around.

“Great Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

The staff here at Sommerset Suites were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and housekeeping always went the extra mile to accommodate us. Bonita and Ian were very professional and courteous, they made us feel at home immediately. Our vacation was exceptional because of the staff we met during our stay.
A wonderful lady named Martha greeted us with a smile every morning for the continental breakfast and was quick to ask us what we would like for breakfast. Also the Social Hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays was a nice touch. We will definitely stay here every time we visit San Diego.
Thank you!!!

Room Tip: If you are staying a while choose the suite, it has all the comforts of home.

“You just can't beat what they offer.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

I have given up looking for a better deal in San Diego. Our grandkids love the attitude of the staff when they use the pool and swipe cookies. Each time we stay with them, it's look a family reunion (in the good sense). The housekeeping staff can't do enough for you, and are total sweethearts. These guys are seriously geared to steadily improve, which is hard to imagine how they could go more miles for you. By the way, there are so many reasonable, excellent restaurants in the area (Asian of various sorts, barbecue, NY deli, you name it. It's just a fun area (at least for a 76-yr. old geezer like me). Seriously, this suite hotel is at the top of its game.

Room Tip: The rooms are virtual identical, so I have no recommendations. Safety is a high priority everywhere...

“Great for families!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We stayed here for five days in November 2012. We traveled with three children, and loved all of the space the hotels rooms here offer. We were upgraded to an executive suite upon arrival, so we had a nice corner room. The noise from freeway and hospital weren't too bad... we took some white noise machines since my kids sleep with them on at night anyway, and if there was any noise those completely covered it up. I used the laundromat on the 4th floor as well, and it worked perfectly to get some laundry done before heading home :) The lady that runs the breakfast is so nice!!

Room Tip: We were in a corner suite and didn't have problems with noise at night.
