Not too crowded, WHICH IS A PLUS FOR ME N THE FAM. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, FROM THE TIME TO CHECKIN AND CHECKING OUT. My daughter is special need didn’t need that much but requested a few things. And without hesitation they accommodated our needs in a flash!!!! Just the entire staff is super nice and made our stay comfortable and have us coming back because of that.

We could’ve had housekeeping clean our room since we were there for two days. They just brought us towels but didn’t ask if we needed service or needed other complimentary toothbrushes or toothpaste. Which we have but needed a cleaning.

The staff were friendly and helpful. There was plenty of parking at all times of the day. Room and bathroom looked updated. For my purposes the location was excellent. I would stay there again.

The next update needs to be the carpets throughout the hotel. They were old and dirty and it was the only thing I would give a less than "Excellent" score.

Took the train to SD to visit my son at college. This hotel wasn't fancy but it was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very quiet at night even though there was traffic outside. Comfortable bed. Some peeling paint on bathroom door.

It was great for the price and location near SDSU.

I didn't have a chance to eat there. However other family members also stayed in 4 other rooms and said breakfast was good, good variety of food. The location was good for our family members and it was easy to get to the freeway. The staff was very kind and helpful. We ate at Patty's Cafe nearby which had excellent food. (Greek, Mexican and American food)

Automatic charge me for parking fee without asking, I was dropped off and picked up-No need for parking but got charge by default. For the nightly rate for single occupancy of $289.00 (+ tax), the quality of breakfast food should be better.

Breakfast was good and the breakfast staff very friendly.

It was my fault but I didn't see the book the housekeeping sign so wondered why the room wasn't service. Didn't matter as we could ask for new towels.

I loved the hospitality. All the staff were very welcoming and accomodating

There was a large organization or family there and it was very noisy outside and above me. I requested my room be changed for the last day and the staff was very accomodating.

Excellent stay! From check in to check out! Room is clean, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast is very good. Except one time the eggs served was not warm. But overall, twas very good.

None!

Amazing bedding

$20 to park for the night? Given the pricing of the rooms, that should be included. With this set-up, a more expensive hotel with free parking would have been the better choice

It was clean, and the staff was very nice and accommodating.

The water was not hot, and the breakfast was not what I was used to from the holiday Inn express. Cold and not well prepared.
