Homeless incampments ##### Sara Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Iris Dec 6, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities We made a reservation for a king bed and we ended up with two full beds. The pool was in need of cleaning.Overall, very basic experience. I would not book here again. ##### Iris Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacquelyn Nov 29, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Okay but could be improved Overall it was an okay stay. The rooms don’t look as good as the pictures and half the hotel was maybe burnt down or being reconstructed, I’m not sure but very off putting. The first room we stayed in had ants in the tub and bathroom area. We were able to switch rooms and thankfully that room was much better. The staff could have been a little friendlier as well. ##### Jacquelyn Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Suttee, San Gabriel Nov 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was newly updated and very clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable. ##### Suttee Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Arianna Nov 27, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed there for 5 nights and our room was not cleaned once, and they are not serving breakfast. ##### Arianna Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FINOCLADE V Nov 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL ##### FINOCLADE V Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mayra Nov 19, 2021 Disliked: Room comfort #### Awful stay I’m traveling with a teenage boy and the next door guests were up blasting their tv and having loud sex from 2-4 am! We could not get any sleep and had to wake up early that morning. There was no one at the front desk to call for assistance. Also, there was no iron in the room. Again no one at the front desk for assistance. Not staying here again. ##### Mayra Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael Nov 16, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don’t stay here Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We show back up after a long day to find that our personal items are covered in ants including my daughters retainers and contacts. The manager was not willing to come look and said he would take care of it the next day. Very unhappy!!! ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Barbara Nov 11, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Horrible hotel, pass on it! The lady that checked me in has a personality of a sour pineapple. She never greeted me, just asked for my ID and credit card. I thought she would charge my card at check out come to find out she charged it right then and there and I had informed her that I known I would have given her cash. She lacked customer service big time. Not even thank you, enjoy your stay. She really should rethink her career options and maybe go work at a morgue. The pictures on the website were far from the truth. There was a fire there and part of the hotel is taped off and charred. Our room had an old musty odor. Thank goodness it was just a one night stay! We checked out before the checkout time because we just wanted to get out of there. Very disappointed in the stay, lack of customer service and how this place was presented on this website ##### Barbara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul Nov 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The room next to me apparently burned down.

Never again will i stay at Howard Johnson ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hector Oct 27, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities yes we like the bed is comfortable . Something I didn't like is noisy doors. al lot noise in parking and the people in he office not friendly at all ##### Hector Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ali Oct 26, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This place is very similar to a rundown motel. Lets start with pros. The front people were really nice but thats all. The property is run down, and dirty. No one came in and cleaned or change towels. The floors were so dirty that my socks were black after few min walking on it. The area is kinda sketchy. We did found a cockroach in our room. And the walls are thin. You can hear everything thats going on in the room next door. ##### Ali Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeremy Oct 23, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very dirty and there were people knocking at our door in the middle of the night ##### Jeremy Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Habitación muy cómoda.

Y la habitación muy cómoda. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### SDSU convenient Just a one night stay before touring SDSU.

I walked around for a little with my shoes off and my socks looked like mud from how dirty the floors were . I attempted to take a shower and the water did not drain. Even when I woke up the next morning the water still hadn’t drained ##### Adrienne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) > > [Rancho Bernardo Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Rancho-Bernardo-Inn-San-Diego-A-Golf-And-Spa-Resort.h3007.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Omni-San-Diego-Hotel.h982408.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Gaslamp-Quarter.h21135.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-San-Diego-Mission-Valley.h571545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Aqua Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hotel-Aqua-Mar.h3928469.Hotel-Information) > > [GreenTree Inn San Diego Mission Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-San-Diego-Sea-World-Beach-Area.h428450.Hotel-Information) > > [Catamaran Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Catamaran-Resort-And-Spa.h24669.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin San Diego Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Downtown.h27516.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-San-Diego-Del-Mar.h15236.Hotel-Information) > > [Mission Bay Condo - Steps to Sand, Dining, AC, Parking, Location & Shops!](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Mission-Bay-Condo-Steps-To-Sand.h96056122.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming Retreat On West Quince Street 2 Bedroom Condo by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Charming-Retreat-On-West-Quince-Street-2-Bedroom-Condo.h95913426.Hotel-Information) > > [Pleasant Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Pleasant-Inn.h16273766.Hotel-Information) > > [Sapphire Gem-blocks to beach](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Sapphire-Gem-Blocks-To-Beach.h93680771.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Cliffs Dream - Ocean Front Luxury Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Sunset-Cliffs-Lookout-Ocean-Front-Luxury-Condo.h93318170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [Cozy Ocean Beach Cottage Separate Entry and Clean](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Cozy-Ocean-Beach-Cottage-Separate-Entry-And-Clean.h74246432.Hotel-Information) > > [Renovated Bay Side Condo - 812](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Renovated-Bay-Side-Condo.h27129479.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-San-Diego-Hotel-Circle.h24406.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hacienda-Hotel-Old-Town.h26922.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta ES Suites San Diego - Sorrento Mesa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Sonesta-ES-Suites-San-Diego-Sorrento-Mesa.h864463.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Central](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-Central.h3722.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Seven Seas](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Best-Western-Seven-Seas.h1734.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Classy Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Stay-Classy.h54911318.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [SPACIOUS OCEANFRONT HOME W/ PRIVATE HEATED POOL & HOT TUB-Ping Pong, Big Yard](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Spacious-Oceanfront-Home-With-Heated-Pool-Jacuzzi-Ping-Pong.h22878598.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Front Paradise on Mission Beach Boardwalk - Downstairs Unit 4007](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-OCEAN-FRONT.h28841712.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Sea World Area](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Sea-World-Area.h544662.Hotel-Information)
