Residence Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 17 Nov 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

This Residence Inn seemed very much like it had formerly been an apartment complex and was very recently converted to a hotel. Everything was very clean and seemed new. Granit counters in the mini kitchen and full-sized stainless steel appliances. The bathroom was very clean and seemed new as well. The beds also seemed new, but a bit too firm for us. The pillows were soft and fluffy. When we had to call for extra linens for the sofa bed they were brought immediately. The included breakfast was well-stocked and attended.

Positives: Everything was very nice and clean. It seemed brand new.

Negatives: The room layout was awkward and they didn't have a 2 queen room.

Positives: Happy hours, kitchen in the room, spacious grounds, convenient parking.

Negatives: Small bathroom.

I got a discounted rate on 4th of July weekend. We got to the hotel early (10 am) and were able to check in because they had rooms ready. They first gave us a room that had not been checked out of (I walked into a room where there were bags that were still unpacked). They apologized for the mistake and let me pick the location of the replacement room. The room layout is terrible. The living space is cramped and doesn't leave much space for luggage. The desk and chair is pretty much in the kitchen, very awkward. The bathroom sink is separate from the toilet/shower, but the shower area is teeny tiny. There is a free, hot breakfast (at least on the weekends). The food is okay, but there is no meant. No bacon, sausage, etc. Mostly baked goods, waffles, cereals, eggs, potatoes. The pool area is okay quality (a bit small for the size of the property), though the perimeter area of the pool is narrow, leaving not much space for chairs and lounges. There are several hot tubs scattered around the property. Some look like they haven't been cleaned in weeks, others are okay.

Positives: Free wireless, free parking, close to the interstate, within walking distance of a couple restaurants.

Negatives: Free breakfast, but no meat (bacon, sausage, etc); unappealing hot tubs, bad room layout.

Great facilities and staff, but without a restaurant. It's in a very quiet area, which is nice, but also not near many restaurants or facilities.

Positives: Kitchen.

Negatives: No restaurant.

This was a nice enough hotel. The room was clean, the facilities were nice. Not the most comfortable bed, but okay for one night.

Positives: The room was big enough for 4 people.

Negatives: Parking was very tight.

Newly remodeled rooms, kitchens in rooms, free internet, nice breakfast, safe & quiet location, free parking, grocery store and restaurants nearby, easy access to freeway. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Positives: Newly remodeled, hot tub near our room, nice breakfast, safe & quiet location, free parking.

Negatives: No hot tub by the pool, hot tubs were throughout the buildings which was nice, but wanted a hot tub near the pool to watch kids in pool.

The hotel is more like an apartment building and is under renovation until June 09. Our room was right where the delivery trucks were unloading new furniture, wallpaper, and LG TV's. I might give it another try after the remodel.

Positives: Close to UCSD, full kitchen.

Negatives: Under renovation, a bit shabby.

The renovations really make this hotel stand out. We loved it with the exception of the location. We had a car so driving wasn't an issue, but I wouldn't recommend this hotel to people without transportation as it's pretty far from town.

Positives: Room, free hot breakfast.

Negatives: Too far from main area of city.

The staff is great. Very friendly, that makes a difference for me.

Positives: The location is great.

Negatives: There were too many kids staying there. The breakfast was too busy with guests.

We found it a good place with 2 young kids . we appreciated the free breakfasts, which included waffles, sausage, eggs, fruit , yogurt etc. Also on Monday-Wednesday nights from 5-7:00 pm there was more free food and beer/wine - enough food to make it like a lite dinner. Staff were helpful. They are renovating the rooms, but there was no noise or other issues for us. With some room renovation (eg new furniture, new appliances) the hotel will be great. Bottom floors (its a 2 level townhouse style) were dark - we moved to the top floor which was better. Initially hot tub was set too cold, we asked for it to be turned up and it was. We used the hot tub every day after that. Plus the BBQ one day. Its not fancy but good for anyone willing to drive a bit out of San Diego proper.

Positives: The hot tub and the free breakfasts and

Negatives: The rooms and furniture were well worn- not fancy.
