4 o’clock is kind of late to check in. Especially when you have to be at a wedding at 1730. Contacted staff at 1030 was told they would call me when room was ready. Staff did not contact us. We went back at 2:30 we staff told us they would check status of room. The room was ready however supervisor did not approve. 15 min later staff came by the lobby where we were sitting to let us the room was ready.

This has always been our go to for San Diego. This is the 2nd Time I've had problems with our room. I booked a suite and they tried to give me a Jr Suite with no Kitchen. They ended up giving us our suite but we had to wait several hours for our room. Way past the 4:00 check in. I'm very disappointed. I'm not sure I will ever stay there again.

We were on a tight budget and beyond thrilled with the value of here! We had a beautiful room that overlooked the marina, connecting to a path that circles the island. We loved walking the path in the morning and seeing the boats and birds, and in the evening too! It was conveniently located and we were within 15 minutes from so many fun things including Point Loma, Downtown, Old Town, Seaworld, Bellmont Park and more! 5 Stars - Would stay here again!

I was expecting a suite for the price paid but what was given definitely did not look like one, carpet looked & felt dirty, kitchen didn’t have all utensils so we had to buy some. Housekeeping couldn’t even come & do room service, when I tried to call for room service I got no answer and I called multiple times. The guy checking me in was OK but the guy checking me out was better. Staff was ok but housekeeping staff could be better. The property has nice views, but too bad the hotel itself is not that great. This will most likely be my last time staying here.

Great location. Beautiful view. We had an issue with requesting extra blankets. I requested two and they never showed up. Several hours later I called the front desk and was told the dryer was broken. A few hours later we received one blanket that was more like a duvet cover. We had a ground floor marina view room, the people above us were loud. You could hear them sliding furniture. Our bathroom had a musky smell and shower water didn’t get that hot. Overall though it was clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site is pricey, but very good food and service.

The window was broken and they just left it closed and unable to lock. No housekeeping was given even though it was requested twice or three times. They just left towels on the beds and left. The property needs serious updates. The room smells musty and carpet was dirty. Besides the view outside, there was nothing to desire. Parking charge was ridiculous as many has mentioned as parking is free across the street. Save your $$ and book elsewhere.

We had a great stay at this Best Western. It's an aging property that shows its age in places, but it's in a great location, the staff was awesome, the price was fair, and the pools were fun. The restaurant is nice and has great ambience right on the harbor. The room was small, but had a great patio with table & chairs that overlooked North Island, so that's where we spent all our time.
