unless your a pimp or a drug dealer this place should definitly be skipped

Both of our rooms had tons of roaches. One of our rooms didn't have a working lock on the door, and on the second morning around 6am one of the hotel staff entered that room without knocking. Service is terrible. We tried to speak with a manager about the roach situation and we were continuously told that he wasn't available.

An employee walked in our room in the morning while we were sleeping and did not even apologize!! They have roaches...The "Rise and Dine" breakfast consist of first come first serve(they do not refill)danish and juice and that is it!! And the manager was helpless!!Will not return!!

This Howard Johnson is clean and convenient to the freeway. If you want a basic stopover, this is fine. If you are looking for a place to visit San Diego from, try elsewhere. This place advertises a pool (tiny) and breakfast (donuts, and the lady at the desk had to persuaded to bring them out). The reality did not match what they advertised. I would not stay here again.

The rooms were small and smelly. when I specifically asked for a non smoking, I was still given a smoking room. When I asked if I can be switched I was told thats all they had. The clerk was very rude. I asked for a refund that I can find some other hotel with a nonsmoking room I was told I signed the registration card that said in fine prints no ...

this hotel was the greatest ever it had a good price the service was great over all
if we ever go to san diego again we will definetly stay there!

I think that we must have gotten the worst room in the hotel. I am not sure if this was because we did not pay for our room.

Not only was it under construction and renovations, it was in the middle of the Barrio, and we felt like a target from the moment we arrived. We knew we would not be able to leave our computer or any other valuables in the room during our absence. We did not stay there.
