Wow – we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. This was our first visit to the Qualcomm Stadium area (football Sunday - January 3rd) and it was so convenient! Yards away from the trolley station, and a small walk up the hill. We drove from Los Angeles, arriving in the area at approximately 11:30AM. The hotel was just off the freeway. Clean, parking lot, ample spaces. Nice lobby with a small concession fridge that sold juices, snacks, etc. The clerk secured our room for an early check-in and told us to enjoy the game – that was it! Totally hassle free and two minutes later we walked five minutes up the hill to the trolley station and purchased an all day pass for $5.00. Parking in the trolley lot looked like it was an absolute nightmare, but we didn’t have to worry about it! We had already parked at the hotel in front of our room. Literally 15 minutes later we were exiting the station and walked right IN to Qualcomm stadium. We’ve never had an easier trip!
Back at the hotel… our bed was so comfortable and the room was immaculate. No weird stains, odors or issues whatsoever. Even the spacious bathroom & shower had an adjustable head for me to wash off the shame of the Redskins’ loss to the Chargers. (Boo!) Nice complementary amenities, phone in the bathroom and crisp, bright vanity lighting. There was a fridge, microwave, coffeemaker – all pristine. Closet space was ample, and we even had a sitting area with table and two chairs. We seriously contemplated staying an additional night because the room was so awesome. Before booking, I initially saw other comments regarding the surroundings of the hotel. True – the neighborhood seemed like an industrial setting, but I mean, we weren’t sleeping outside. It is safe and QUIET- there are gas stations, stores and restaurants including a Chili’s within view of the hotel lot, and after partying so much at the game (complete with $9.00 beers!!! Yikes!!!), we just wanted a place to crash and burn afterwards. There was also a HUGE dining room and continental breakfast that I actually didn’t notice until checking out – so sorry I missed it!
This hotel tops my recommendation of BEST hotels to stay for a visit to the Qualcomm Stadium or any locals adjacent to the trolley – (Old Town, Downtown, etc.) A+ to the pleasant staff at both check-in and check-out. The price & value of this Ramada can’t be beat. It will be our annual retreat for the Redskins/Chargers game every season.
