I booked this hotel on Priceline, so, of course, obviously I wasn't that picky about where I stayed. Got the room for $40, plus tax. I arrived at about 2 am, and asked at check-in for two beds. The guy said OK and gave me the keys to room 244. I was exhausted, so I didn't go back to argue... more

A couple of family members and I were in town for my brother's graduation from MCRD San Diego, and stayed a few days after to take in some sights, etc. This was quite possibly the nicest chain-type hotel that I've stayed in before. It was very clean, and the staff was not only friendly, but helped out as much as... more

My family and I reserved our rooms because of the close proximity to MCRD. After reading some of the reviews we were a little skeptical and were worried about our choice, but, because of the shuttle service we took our chances. I was very very pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and overall comfortablenes of our room. The beds were pillow... more

As a family of four we could not have chosen a better place to stay in San Diego. It is close to all the major attractions ( e.g. Sea World, Zoo, Legoland etc) and is perfectly located across the roads from shops that include chemists, supermarkets and food centres. The rooms are very good. Comfortable beds, coffee-maker, safe and a... more

After reading all mixed reviews here, I was skeptical what to expect from this hotel. I went to Sea World San Diego on June 24 after found the cheap package for summer which is $175 (tax included) for one night hotel stay + 2 adults deluxe tickets to Sea world (2 days pass) at HOJO San Diego. I want to... more

We stayed at this hotel recently with our three small kids for four nights and while the room and hotel were really just a room - nothing special - the location is super convenient to everything. We went to Sea World, The Zoo, Balboa Park, SeaPort Village and Coronado Island and every place was very easy to get to and... more

My stay here was horrible. The customer service was horrible. When we called to make reservations at first, we had looked on a website that told us that was a great place to stay for the MCRD graduation because they have free shuttle service to there and the airport, and seaworld. Thing is, they lied. When we got there the... more

Thank you for the feedback. We do offer free scheduled shuttle service to the MCRD activities. We run before the activities to make sure that all our families are there for the first family activity on Thursday and the graduation the next day. We are able to get there in time for both of those events but if families want...

I stayed here with my two children, ages 8 and 16. The walls were so thin, we could hear every word of every conversation from the people next to us -- and different people stayed in the room over three days. From the other side, we got to hear their TV at 11.30 at night, and every detail of their... more
