Pool is closed … fyi

We have stayed here because the last time we visited San Diego we found this hotel and we liked it but this time around it was a bad experience we get here and we found it the pool was close, and my kids were excited for the pool they could of told us that the pool is going to be close we wouldn’t have stayed here if it was closed

2/10 Poor

Worst experience ever

It was the worst experience ever, the pool was closed and nobody told until after they always took my money, also I couldn’t get towels, I repeatedly asked, they kept saying they would get us some & never did, we couldn’t even shower in the morning, also my neighbors were in & out all night knocking on the door all hours of the night waking my dog and kids up multiple times! I will never stay there again! Name says Hotel but it’s more like a motel who cater to prostitution & Drug addicts!
