Rooms are plain but clean and a faily good value for the money, But the customer service at the check in counter was a little strange. I travel for work and picked this hotel due to cost and location. Both were good but the experience I had upon check in was almost rude in nature. It was a little late... more

I recently had to find accommodations for my family members that showed up unexpectedtly . After passing the California Suites Hotel on a regular basis, I finally decided to stop and check out the establishment . To my surprise it had a delightful garden setting that most hotels do not offer and the staff there was one of many reasons... more

I stayed four nights at the California Suites Hotel in San Diego in September 2007. Neighborhood The hotel is situated right off a freeway, but it is in a quiet neighborhood. A few blocks away there's a mall with many shops. There were a lot of parking spots available, I parked in the back, but the entire car park was... more

I really enjoyed this hotel and felt it was very good value. The staff was friendly, the rooms were a bit small but very clean. and I loved the gardens. The pool was a ggod size and the laundry room was a nice plus. I recommend this hotel for anybody looking for decent hotel at an affordable price. more

I saw the hotel online and thought it looked OK for the price. I was pleasantly surprised that it was very clean and centrally located. It is close enough to the beach and to the downtown area. I enjoyed my stay. more

Rude, unfriendly staff with an attitude, rooms with walls so thin the people in the next room sound like they're sitting on the bed next to you, uncomfortable beds and to top it all off, the hotel wouldn't honor their own cancellation policy and give me a refund. For those who want to know why I say this, here's the... more

On the evening of November 4th we were sold out. We do keep 1 emergency room available and that room was given to this guest. It is our policy to let the guest cancel any other nights that have been booked no matter what. When a guest books online with a third party (hotels.com) they take their money the hotel...

Recently spent 3 nights at the hotel and was disappointed. The landscaping on the property was a lot nicer than the rooms. The rooms were musty and the bed (a queen) was very soft. Only two pillows were provided and they too smelled musty. The rooms have a fride but no in room coffee pot. This facility is a temporary... more

It is a shame when a guest does not tell us there is something wrong with the room. Extra pillows are always available by calling the desk. If there is excessive noise we have security all night one can call the desk. Breakfast supplies Raisen Bran, wheat bread, bagles, peanut butter, bananas and oranges for a healthy choice with 2%...

After reading several of the negative reviews of this hotel, I was a little leery. However, the rate was so good during the time of a very large convention that had jacked up all SD hotel rates, I decided to give it a try. It is somewhat of a misnomer to call the rooms suites, they are standard size hotel... more

This is a true motel! Like many other families staying her, we were suckered in by the price. This hotel was old and very uncomfortable. My kids did enjoy the pool and we meet some other nice families who had alos been suckered in by the price. But that is the only good thing I can say. There are many... more
