We actually stayed there in Jan. 2007. We didn't like it so much that we checked out after one night and booked our last two nights at a Holiday Inn Express in San Diego Old Town.
I had booked the room online and it wasn't clear that there were no suites with 2 queen/double beds. We were given a very small suite (a separate bedroom with one King size bed and no room for anything else) and a pullout sofa in the sitting area. There were 2 adults and 2 kids. The other option we had was a single room with two queen beds, but we wanted a separate area for after the kids went to bed. As soon as we walked into our room the noise struck us from the heating/air conditioning unit. There's no way we could sit/sleep in the room with that on. I asked the front desk clerk if every unit was that noisy and she said yes, but let me check another room and it was the same. The ceiling vent was quite large (about 2 x 3') and the grate was covered in thick dust. It was disgusting. We turned the unit off and the front desk clerk sent up extra blankets for us (It was low 40s outside). Both of the drinking glasses put out in the room had large cracks in them (ready for the garbage, not for drinking). The wallpaper in the bathroom was pealing and there was a spot where the paint was pealing off the bathroom ceiling. Also a cobweb on the bathroomm ceiling. The common areas of the hotel were freezing! The pool was closed for renovations! When I told the clerk that we booked the hotel because they had a pool, she said that it was on their website that it would be closed (but I had booked months in advance and was never contacted to tell me this). I later looked on their web site and it was mentioned - not on the main page though - I had to go to the overview page to find it - also, it said the renovation would be from Dec. 13 - 22/06. We checked in Jan. 3/07. In the morning we were awakened by other showers running and then heard the t.v. in the room next to us. We stayed in 4 other hotels before this one on this trip and didn't hear either showers or t.v.s from any rooms. They did have complimentary internet access in the rooms and a very nice breakfast, and someone kind of evening reception, but these weren't enough to keep us there. We checked out after one night.
