Downtown San Diego Lodge

Disappointing
Traveller Type: family with young children
  : Very close to the freeway. And I did appreciate the fast check in/out.
  : The room had spiderwebs along the wall near the bed. There was a second door in the room with a deadbolt lock on it. It was uneasy to have a door that we didn’t know if someone could access from the other side. The toilet was very loose, it would wiggle forward during every use. The bed near the AC unit was blocking half of it so the air didn’t circulate at all. The pictures online are absolutely not like the actual rooms. And lastly, there were other guests that started yelling and fighting right outside, it went on for a while, I was too scared to sleep thinking I would need to call the police.

  : The location of the hotel was excellent. It is close to shopping, restaurants and stores.
  : When I booked online, the total amount came to 114.00. READ THE ENTIRE agreement carefully! On the third page, buried in the bottom of the sixth paragraph is the statement that a $200 hold will be placed on the debit/credit card upon check in. So the numbers look like a good deal when you're checking in with the app. Just be expected to have approximately $320 on your card to get the room key. If you don't have the funds, you don't get the key. Since there are no refunds, you very easily will be out $114.00 minimum. Subsequently, when you check out, you are informed that the $200 deposit should be refunded in five days.Due to my 9:30pm check in, I was lectured by night staff regarding loud noises, visitors, and anything suspicious, management,"Would not think twice about throwing me out." Uh, I was just there by myself to sleep. I see that staff has already calibrated me as someone who had other plans. Sorry to disappoint. This was surprising because I have a long history of renting from this property (8 years) and I've never had a problem and always check out on time. I'm still waiting for my deposit to be credited back. Getting somewhat nervous because as of this morning, the charge went from "pending," to, "posted."
