“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 25, 2012

My family of three stayed here overnight on our way from SF to SD. All went very well; starting with friendly and efficient check in, lovely modern furnishings in a spotlessly clean room, nice pool (although small). Immediate area a bit boring but very short distance to all amenities Seaworld, Old Town, Pacific Beach, La Jolla etc. If you are looking for a hotel in San Diego, then look no further.

“Pet And People Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 24, 2012 via mobile

I picked this hotel mostly because it was pet friendly but the hotel in general was great. The rooms dont have carpet so it didnt have gross smells from other pets. The woman who checked us in also gave us a list of pet friendly parks and dog beaches which was very helpful. The breakfast was standard continental but great for a quick morning bite before going about our day. We had a few minor issues like the lights in our room not working but the front desk lady (red hair) came up within a few minutes and fixed the issue. Parking was tight but it was free and since we didnt brin our own computer we used the one in the lobby. Overall a great stay.

“Do not stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

Stayed here in July 2012, towels were ripped and had holes, then they started to disappear each night we stayed. Last night we stayed, I had to go to the front desk because we had 0 (zero) towels in the room. Room as not really clean (needed a deep scrubbing). The parking lot was hard to get in and out of, vendor trucks parked in the way making it difficult to leave on any day. The free breakfast was a joke. Not enough room for anyone to sit. I also sent an email to the Company regarding this hotel and they didn't even respond to me. Shows how much they care......

Upon a review of our records regarding your stay, I can confirm that we had provided towels for you upon your request at the front desk on one night, and that we believed the matter to be settled to your satisfaction when you accepted the discount at the time of checkout that you had requested. We apologize again for any inconvience this may have caused you, and we thank you for staying with us (multiple nights).

“Red Roof Inn room was tiny, expensive, not up to scratch”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 5, 2012

Stayed at the Red Roof Inn San Diego. The room was tiny, one chair only. If you used the chair no-one could walk around the bed. Expensive for the size.
The coffee maker still had the used coffee grounds from the last visitor. The sink in our bathroom (unit 303) had a hole rusted completely through large enough to put your fist through ( I have a photo). We could clearly hear our neighbor through the thin walls.

“Easy Access”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 25, 2012

Not only easy access off I-5 to beautiful Mission Bay area, but also easy access to room on ground floor for my 91-year-old Mom, with grab bars in bathroom, and elevator to 3rd floor breakfast room. Room was clean and well equipped (microwave, refrig, coffee maker), with (reportedly!) comfortable bed. Front desk staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Good value for facility and location.
