We usually stay here when we are in San Diego. The room we were assigned this time needed a deep cleaning.
The staff is always wonderful.

Comfortable stay
We were put in a room facing the freeway. We called the front desk and they were able to quickly move us. Hotel was clean, a couple surfaces in the room were not wiped down but the linens and towels were fresh and clean. Breakfast had a good selection of items. Staff were all friendly. Overall a very comfortable stay!

Great Hotel!
Best Western Plus is a beautiful hotel. Beds we extremely comfortable, rooms were clean, and the staff was attentive. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of options. Fresh cookies upon arrival was a great touch. Really nice gym. Great neighborhood with a wonderful restaurant located next door with fresh seafood. My family will definitely be back.
