10/10 Excellent

"breakfast was great, great and helpful staffs."

Best Western Chula Vista/Otay Valley Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"We stayed here because the reviews were good on hotels.com. Bathroom was dirty hair everywhere. Bathtub was disgusting. Had to put a towel on the floor just to get in the shower. As I was walking into the hotel with my family got approached, asking if we had any white. That was awful. My husband later had to go to the car again and was approached by a different male asking for white as well. Had to kill a few spiders. Staff was great but don’t recommend if u have family."

Ramada by Wyndham San Diego National City

6/10 Okay

"good if you’re someone who doesn’t plan on staying in your hotel. convenient location, paid parking lot, cold ac if you like that, knowledgeable friendly and helpful staff, the lights at night are aesthetically pleasing as well. now the bad, heater did not work, there was a roach in my room on my last day so i’m sure it was around just hidden. be careful of the entrances at night if you are a solo female traveler."

Studio 6 Suites San Ysidro, CA -San Diego South Bay

4/10 Poor

"BE AWARE OF shady business practice here! The little short owner, Orlando and front office staff. If you make a reservation via M6 app or desktop and your bank card information is at their disposal once you check in and pay with them they will charge it should you reserve a additional night(s) and BEFORE the cutoff period that allow cancelations by 6pm. For example: Is canceling a reservation at 1:01pm the day before check in via the site only for a sudden charge to your debit card at 1:02pm afterwards justified? When it clearly state cancelation is allowed on such and such date by 6pm? Then a sassy front desk person (Brandon the name said) who looks like he's dressed for the club says, it's not us who charged your card but the website you made the reservation (unlearned/ignorant) even though it states their Motel name and location. Hmmm, odd right? And it's still the M6 app/website when the pending charge then is posted (no longer pending) to your account even though the reservation was canceled at 1:01pm the day before and the guest booked and paid for the canceled night elsewhere via (Expedia) but they still have money that does NOT belong to them. Let this fact of truth be your warning and guide no matter your ethnicity or gender! They bait with lower prices for calculating reasons!! Also, the property is run down and not well maintained. In desperate times people seek opportunities to do unethical things. I hope Motel 6 the brand abandon this location specifically!!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham National City/San Diego South

2/10 Terrible

"I will never stay at this hotel again . They did not give us our room until 5 pm and the time to enter was 3 pm. Also when I called Expedia they were no help!! All I got was the run around! First person just said she could not help and give me the manager ( which I don’t think she was) . All she said let me talk to the hotel which they put her on hold for some time. As I keep waiting for my room! I also got a cup of soup and no water or spoon for the cup of soup. That was just the start of things wrong!!!! Expedia you should train better your staff!! Arthur"
