I saw an ad in a travel guide for the Pacific Inn, San Diego, which showed a reasonable rate. The ad stated the rooms where "brand new." I booked two rooms for a family weekend get-a-way. The rates where much higher than the price listed on the ad because we stayed during a holiday weekend. I booked the rooms anyway because I was under the impression that the rooms were brand new and the hotel was in a nice location. When we got our rooms, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!! The rooms smelled of mold, the carpet was dirty, the bed felt like a cardboard box, the soap was so brittle it broke when I tore off the packaging, the shampoo was unsealed as if they refill them, and when we went to the ice machine the ice was dirty. I even had to ask for air freshener to try to clear away the smell, which didn't work. The ad was very deceiving in saying that the rooms were brand new. These rooms are gross and smelly, I would rather stay in my car than stay at this hotel. Pay the extra price and stay at an established hotel. This place is a dump.
