I don’t usually write reviews, but I had an amazing experience at Quality Inn! The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-furnished, making my stay super comfortable. The beds were cozy, and everything was clean. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and had a great variety of options. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I really enjoyed my stay here!
The lady at the front desk was EXCELLENT... she welcomed us with a caring attitude. The room was clean and spacious. Comfortable bed. There was different staff members on check out who were also AMAZING I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
Good budget place, awesome receptionist. Breakfast could be a bit better.
Was a great stay. People were friendly. Rooms were nice and clean. Nice breakfast. Would stay there again
The staff here were pleasant to deal with, even though I spent little time with them. The room was clean and enough toiletries for my stay, and I was told by a small board that if I needed more, then I could call for them at the front desk. I slept well, with no disturbance. Even for a "lower-end" hotel, this was a great place for the night.
Nice Location, Well connected to all major tourist attractions. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Managers are always with a smile on their face and glad to provide information on tourist attractions. Clean Linen were always provided. Bed was quite comfortable for a 2.5 Star Hotel. Pest free. There is also a small gym on site.Breakfast needs some more variety. Parking space will be short if hotel is full but we can park at the street nearby as its a dead end. Good basic TV choice. If you are looking for a basic, clean place with no frills this will be a very pleasant stay . Good deal if price will be around 70-90 for weekend.
The exterior is deceiving - this hotel was AWESOME! The room was extremely clean and much more updated than the outside. The bed and sheets were very comfortable. The continental breakfast was very nice as well. I liked that a lot of the food were individually wrapped instead of just sitting out in the open. We visited a few restaurants within 5-6 min of the hotel and they were all delicious - again, despite their exteriors lol.
Overall satisfied with my experience. The staff- The cleaners and front desk staff are friendly and cleaners cleaned the place well everyday. The bed- extra firm which took some adjusting to. Sheets were comfortable and the pillow was extra fluffy. TV- Didn't use much but plenty big and includes Cox Cable Location- I heard a lot of bad about the area Other- The fridge seemed old and was falling apart a bit. The gym was small but had anything you'd need to get a fast workout. The shower had plenty of room and the counter is big
Just off I-5, this straightforward hotel is 1.2 miles from Naval Base San Diego and 4 miles from the historic Gaslamp Quarter.
