See review of the Marina Inn, Pacific Hwy, San Diego which has the same owner, Vicky Patel, who let us move to the Vagabond Inn, Mission Valley from that Motel because of poor maintenance, noise and water damage. Upon entering the Vagabond Inn we were told the rack rate was $129 a night & with an AAA discount it would be $99. The internet displayed the AAA rate as $80.10. But Ms. Patel insisted that for us it would be $159 a night. I informed her that gouging is illegal (penal code 396(d)) & that I am an AAA member. This was during the San Diego Fire evacution. She agreed to $99. We checked out of the Vagabond Inn on 10/25 @ 10 am. The Motel refused to give us a bill saying it can only be gotten from the Marina Inn. We went back to the Marina Inn. They also refused to give us bill. Hotel.com said they cannot help. AAA can't help since it was booked @ hotel.com. We stayed one night at the Marina Inn and 2 nights at the Vagabond Inn yet according to my credit card company we were overcharged and pre-charged $725. We are contesting. Stay away from anything that is owned by Vicky Patel. The BBB shows a poor record for both places.
