Nice hotel but not for the business person. Charges for parking, room internet access, access to hotel computer with printer for boarding pass and forget about any kind of free morning breakfast. Expect to pay $10 - $15 for a meager breakfast. Older hotel but fairly well maintained. Check other hotels on North & South Hotel Circle.
I loved everything about the hotel. It was private, quiet and condusive to romance. It was close to where we needed to be. Overall the experience was fantastic the room was clean, well appointed and the staff was pleasant. I only used the services of the coffee shop but I am sure that I would have been pleased in the restaurant. I manage a hotel of ...

I loved my whole stay. Check in was a little slow, but we had a pretty big convention. My room was very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.
I was such a great location to the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and Mission Beach. All the reasons why we went to California. Had a hard time finding places to eat at, until we discovered Rosecrans St. That is the place to go for food and for drug stores. The Hotel was very clean, and it was wonderful to know that the rooms look just like the picture ...

Little Piece of Hawaii

This place was AWESOME! The tropical decor was very nice...not over-done or cheesy. My son loved the hotel almost as much as the places we went to see. Location was great, was very easy to get to all the local attractions...the front desk even had a pre-printed guide with directions to and from Sea World, Zoo and the beach etc.!!
If you want ...

we stayed here by default for one night when our pre booked and paid for room at our hotel (The Handlery) had no room for us! The Red Lion accommodation block had a "prisoner cell block H" feel to it. the pool is not as the picture as it has a metal bar fence all the way around it - not at all glamourous. However, the staff were very ...

Peaceful and Relaxing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/26/06
I loved this hotel. Stayed one night, but wished I could have stayed longer. I will definitely stay again when I visit San Diego. My room had a balcony with table and chairs and the waterfalls and foliage were beautiful! Very peaceful and relaxing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A plus for me was the hotel shuttle to the Old Town Trolley station which took me to Petco Park for a Padre game. Nice pool and bar.
the smell in the room was overpowering the room was small parking was poor there wasn't an outlet for my toothbrush in the bathroom when i called on the phone to ask if the red lion would honor a coupon that they had given me earlier, i was redirected to call 4 different people on several occasions. When i finally reached the person in charge of reservations, she was extremely rude. I probably won't stay there again.
The staff were A+, the food was excelent, and the room was older but clean and with character unlike the usual boxes. Beware, you have to pay extra to park, but we would definitely stay there again.
