This hotel is very average,but clean. When booking this hotel all I really cared about was finding a CLEAN, affordable hotel in a safe neighborhood. This hotel meets all of the above. It was full of families looking for the same things. I would have no problem staying here again. For $99.00 a night it cant be beat!

I did a lot of research trying to find a place that wouldn't break the bank and was close to major attractions. It was clean and comfortable. Parking was free. The food at the restaurant is good, but a bit high. The pool was a little scummy as was the second hot tub outside the pool. It is a safe place to stay for families and me. A gas station is near by. Those are hard to come by in SD. Easy access to the freeway but I did not hear any freeway noise. The inside colors were green and orange with tropical paintings. There isn't a store at the hotel but a few hotels down there is a mini-market. The staff was friendly and the check in was not long. I didn't hear anyone through the walls or clomping upstairs. Maybe I was too tired. The air conditioner had a smell when first started but disapeared as I got used to it. The humidity in SD made 76 degrees hot so I had the cool or fan going all the time. It didn't make any noise. They do have sliding windows. There is a coffee maker, hair dryer, and a small fridge. I like that and it came in handy. The only ice machine was behind the hotel by the laundry and vending machines. The laundry area was outside. Vending machine with soda and water by the pool also mid way between rooms. Ample parking, I do want to thank them for not charging for it like some places have done after having free parking for years. They do charge the marketing Tourist Assessment fee but every major tourist trap does. I enjoyed my stay over all and would return. Perhaps they should put no children allowed in the hot tub in Spanish in the hot tub area. I didn't notice a sign in the area just the kids. The information in the room said no children allowed in the hot tub. They think it's fun to play in the bath water.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 1 night during a week stay in San Diego. We were unfamiliar with the area and after searching websites, booked through bestwestern.com. We would have stayed longer, but ended up getting a better deal through Priceline that night. The front desk staff was polite and didn't have a problem when we reduced our stay from 4 nights to 1. Overall the room was nice and the bed was comfortable and the furniture and overall look tasteful. One light bulb would not stay on and kept flickering. The bathroom was adequate, but certainly nothing to write home about. It had been renovated not too long ago. The shower spout was on crooked and it looked a little run down, but everything worked allright. Wireless internet is available and free. We weren't able to log on for a couple attempts, but were finally successful. The connection speed was fine. Breakfast wasn't included in our reservation. The hotel is located in a strip of hotels and there isn't much for food within walking distance. It's next to a highway, but the noise really wasn't intrusive and didn't bother us. This is a relatively inexpensive, no frills hotel in a safe area. If that's what you're looking for, than I'd definitely recomend it.

I stayed at this location with my beau. He lives in San Diego about 10 minutes away. We wanted a night away from friends and family. We are very familiar with the area, the rate was good and best western is typically very decent. I don't recommend this place if you are a couple looking for a getaway or a romantic evening. I arrived in the evening. Check-in was a breeze. Our room was on the very back of the lot in a 2nd story building. There was a lot of commotion in the parking lot. tweens running around, people making lots of noise etc. It must have taken me almost 10 minutes to locate the room. All room #s are poorly lit and impossible to see from even a few yards away. So park your car, bring a flashlight and start looking... The room was tiny and had recently been finished/remodeled. I think there was still a paint can or filler right outside our room with some tools. The A/C wasn't working and it happened to be a humid weekend. The free wifi didn't work. When I called the 800# they couldn't fix it either. In the morning, like most San Diegans we like to read the Tribune. When I walked all the way to the front desk to request, the lady said it's around and the corner and it will cost you 50cents. she was rude and I was bothered. What it really kill them to offer a free paper to guests? Ironically the trib, is about 50 yards away on the other side of the 8 fwy. I will not stay here in the future and unless you will be sightseeing all day or you are at soccer tournament or sporting event with lots of kids, I wouldn't recommend staying here...

It all started with the reservation. After calling a few other properties in the area I called the Seven Seas. I spoke with the girl in reservation for about 5 minutes and she gave a ton of information on the area and answered all my questions. When you drive up to the hotel you can't help but notice the landscaping. It's beautiful. Check in was quick an efficient and we received the room we requested. We were in town to take my 2 kids to Sea World and the Zoo. The hotel has free shuttle service to both and it was great! Our 3rd day we didn't have any plans and the front desk gave us some great ideas and we were able to take advantage of the shuttle again. The room was clean and comfortable. It was a little small but who goes to San Diego to sit in your room all day. The staff as great and we'll definitely go back. If you get a chance try the Cafe. The food is a little pricey for a Cafe but it was good and the waiters were very nice.
