    The setup of this property is troublesome for those with disabilities. My family of 7 required a family suite. The only family suites available are on the second floor, with no elevator access. Not a great fit when you have a child/children who have problems with stairs. It is also frustrating that the rooms specifically for larger parties, who will most likely have more luggage, are only available on the second floor.

    It’s a nice place, not wonderful but not terrible. Good location and nice parking lot. It just looks a bit like it could use some upgrades and TLC. But for the price, it was fine.

    Beds were comfortable. Close to UCSD so continently located to where we needed to be. Small black Ants in the room. Rooms smelled of dog and cat. Our first room smelled of cat pee so I requested a different room and the second room smelled of dog but the smell wasn’t as strong and it was late so I didn’t request another room change. Definitely won’t stay here again.

    The additional charges such a parking at $28.00/day should have been included. This resulted in more than 10% increase in the costs of the room. Adding such charges, after stating that all taxes and fees were included, is intentionally misleading.

    Convenient location, walkable to retail, restaurants and UCSD (although along a busy road).

    I had a scheduled medical procedure at UC San Diego Health, and the location of this Residence Inn was perfect - only about a 10-minute drive to my appointment. The location was very quiet and overall comfortable. My one complaint is for the sofa/sleeper in our unit. While we didn't use it to sleep on, it was extremely uncomfortable to sit on while watching TV.

    Room was “generally” clean but as dated as this place is - should feel thoroughly cleaned. Old hair stuck on the walls. Time to clean the carpet. Need to wash down the walls. Definitely will NOT be returning. Not to mention we had issues with the TV… the maintenance guy said he probably just needed to replace it… he “fixed” it but by the time the problem returned, maintenance was gone for the day so that meant another night with a static TV. Two stars ONLY because the bed was extremely comfortable!

    The staff is great and helpful. The rooms were spacious, and having a full kitchen was great. Some would say it might feel slightly outdated, but I like a retro style. Things changed since my last visiting San Diego (was there in 2009). It is not the hotel, it is the general experience as "money grab" somehow became a norm in California. 28 USD a night for parking of a rental car on the property, and it is not even a downtown of SD... Used to be free. But, again, it is the general impression from California, not the hotel itself. I would recommend the hotel.

    The property was old and run down there were people living there the room was dirty with stains on bed and furniture and a really bad smell of mold and urine and it was hard to breathe in the room it was so bad the neighbors said the property was full of criminals and people on drugs and you could see people hanging out. It felt very unsafe and I requested a refund because I could not stay there I was afraid and it was disgusting in the room the hotel gladly credited me the full amount for the two days BUT booking.com stole my money and even though the property fully credited me booking.com is refusing to refund me the full amount. I will be disputing it and filling any and all formal complaints to the BBB etc and will never use booking.com again. The whole property was disgusting

    Since this is a hotel, I think it should be mentioned if they do not provide housekeeping

    We had a wonderful stay and loved the loft room!! The heated pool was also very nice and they had plenty of towels for us. The service was good and the breakfast was good. I was surprised there were no muffins. Our room had a few tiny faults but nothing that made our stay any less fun! We will definitely visit again someday. Wonderful memories and was sad to leave. Thank you.

    The breakfast was very nice and a great free perk. We stayed with little kids and there was a nail sticking out on the stairwell. The pool was also not very clean.

    The pull out couches need replaced as they are worn and the springs are evident. Overall the staff was very friendly and helpful. Location to a grocery, shopping and freeways was exceptional!

    We did love being so near the beach though and loved the breakfast except the last day when they got rid of the waffle station. Unlimited hot chocolate was a hit with my kids though! Parking really stinks that they charge an extra $35 per night, but I hear parking is just expensive in California. The reception was so kind to offer us a room near the street parking and we were able to get free parking most nights! Overall we really did love it here and would stay again!

    Minor issue was hotels.com said they had a shuttle with a 5 mile range. No shuttle meant increased cost of Uber. Not hotels fault.

    This place is very family friendly and has all amenities we need with two small kids. It is very close to grocery stores and the La Jolla beach. 10-15 mins drive to major attractions which is still not too far but price is much more affordable.

    They even emailed me earlier in the day to see if i was still going to check in. I responded that i was and received no response. When i got there they told me they had no rooms and sent me to a different hotel 20 min away and said i didnt have to pay. After a 20 min wait for the paper he was going to send me to the other hotel with, he came out with the letter which said that my reservation was being sent over to their hotel and that i was responsible for the charges. It was unfortunate because we liked this hotel. I understand this happens, but it was a very rough night.

    Please was super friendly and staff was nice. Rooms were good. Breakfast was excellent. They had a full buffet of so many choices to eat and we ate there for free every morning. Only downside is that they said someone would come clean the room every day and they didn’t. They came once. But otherwise rooms were nice. Parking was easy (they charge $25 a night) and staff was great.

    I constantly came out of my room and saw trash bags, loose trash and towels left by housekeeping. The air conditioning went out the last two days we were there. Maintenance came and could not fix it. Offered to put us in another room our last night but it was too much of a hassle for one night. No apologies, no credit offered for the inconvenience, I felt brushed off. It was summer and it was HOT, so the AC going out was miserable. The pull out “sofa bed”… I didn’t expect much, but I didn’t expect to feel springs. The room was pricey, pictures online looked much better than what we got. Would not stay here again.
