The location was perfect. We walked up and down third avenue enjoying the shops, bars and restaurants. When our night on the town was over we enjoyed walking back to the hotel to our king room . No hassle whatsoever entering and exiting freely. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that is willing to just enjoy where you are and not expect bellboys and fancy amenities. We plan on doing it again for her next birthday.

Chula Vista is a cute neighborhood. The hotel promised quit settings , the smoke store and 7-11 across from it made me doubt that when we first arrived but it turned out to be totally true. The neighborhood is super safe and has everything you will EVER need right on 3rd. The lady running this hotel is super organized. We booked the largest room as we had a 4 night stay. The bed and pillow were cozy. Towels ample in the bathroom. The parking lot on the side dedicated to guests was a life line and so practical. Water pressure and temp were perfect. Spacious bathroom. Cute and large outdoor space. Coffee and tea for guests ready in the lobby every morning. I appreciated that the other guests were equally as quiet as that as it is an old building and you can hear other folks' convo from room to room. As it is often the case no matter how expensive your hotel is. Five star if the trash had been emptied and the bathroom had had a refresh. Booking was easy , payment taken on arrival , easy check out. We'll be back.

I think this Marriott is wonderful, with plenty of nearby businesses and restaurants…read more The location is very attractive to me--a little upscale in quality. Like many Marriott properties, this one offers complimentary breakfast from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM. The selection includes bacon, chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, juice, coffee, pastries, toast, make-your-own waffles, and all the usual accompaniments. The property features an outdoor jacuzzi and pool. I've never had any issues during my stays here. It's conveniently located near my brother's house, which makes it a perfect option when I prefer not to stay with him.

*Long overdue post*…read more Had to stay here due to construction at my house; stayed here for a month (Yeah I know). Great location, nice breakfast, clean, easy access to freeway. The stay was great... until the very last week. The manager started calling my room and accusing me of not picking up my dog's poop. I ALWAYS pick up my dog's poop. Then he even left a voicemail "for everyone" and reminding them to pick up their dog's poop... pretty sure it was just towards me (even though I think people are nasty if they do not pick up after their dogs). Overall, it's a good location/clean, just that last week left a sour taste in my mouth.

My cousin had our annual Christmas party at his house (we all take turns and I'm up next year,…read moregulp!) which is in CV. We weren't about to make the 130 mile trip back home late at night, so we booked this place (as did my brother-in-law and my other cousin's son (and his GF, hmmmm...) Close to the border in CV, this roadside motel sits inside the driveway to a gas station. Yup, I almost missed it when my nav told me to turn into the gas station. There's ample parking; almost empty when we checked in, though we were surprised that when we returned after our party that the lot was pretty full. The guy at the desk was really nice but wasn't too familiar with any local attractions (we went to Sea World the next day). We volunteered to bring Little Caesars pizza to the party and he did know where that was. In fact, just one exit south off the freeway you'll find a bunch of fast food restaurants and Little Caesars. The room rate was fair for a two queen bed room and a simple breakfast is included. The room was what you would expect from a roadside motel, fairly clean, super simple and basic. The location next to the freeway added to the endless din that made its way through the single pane windows. Partiers who drove the 4 miles across the border to party in TJ made a ton of noise up to 4am, but I won't complain. Just bc I have 4 kids doesn't mean I don't like to have a good time, too. When we packed up the truck to leave, we did smell smoke and it appeared that a homeless person was burning a small on the other side of the wall between the motel and the freeway (no doubt to warm up on a 48F morning... For a motel, it is what it is. However, my wife and I discovered that our kids are bougie since they were looking for the lobby, casino and restaurants... Or was that us???

A good variety of stores for needs and plenty of restaurants too. Freeway close to all popular areas of San Diego, Surfing, Coronado and Imperial Beach Pier are a short drive away. This is a favorite of mine for sure.

We stayed here to attend an event at UC San Diego thinking it would be a 1.5 mile walk, but you…read morecan't walk to campus from here. It's on the other side of a freeway and there is not a safe sidewalk for most of the access road, Hotel Circle. I share this so people realise how isolated this hotel and all the others on Hotel Circle road are from not only UCSD, but restaurants and amenities. However, the main reason for the low rating is that a fire alarm woke us up at 4 a.m. and there was no presence from hotel staff telling us what was going on, what was the cause, where to go, or anything else. Several hundred guests were standing in the parking lot and not one hotel employee was there! Finally fire fighters showed up and turned the elevators back on, but guests were told nothing. So the absence of staff is a pretty serious omission. Finally, some compensation should have been offered because being awakened to a loud fire alarm at 4 a.m. for no apparent reason--there was no smoke or fire evident--is the opposite of a restful night. The room itself was comfortable and clean, but the location and poor handling of fire alarm is reason for low rating.

Everything felt fresh and well-maintained, which made for a very comfortable experience. One of the highlights was the breakfast. While it's an additional cost (around $13), it was definitely worth it--delicious, satisfying, and a great way to start the day. The room itself was on the smaller side, similar to what you'd expect in a European or New York City hotel, but it was thoughtfully designed and made excellent use of the space. The Nespresso machine was a fantastic surprise and a much-appreciated touch. Overall, a stylish, clean, and enjoyable stay--I'd happily book here again.

So Disappointed Made a non-refundable, pre-paid 2 nights…read morebooking that was scheduled a few weeks out. I called the Hercor desk that morning of check-in to advise of an urgent inability to travel, but since the reservation was pre-paid/non-refundable I would offer my room to another of the traveling family. The front desk said I needed to go through my Expedia booking to advise whom would use my booking. Okay, I said, I can do that. Sent the message through Expedia to advise the name who would use the 2nd night of my booking, and followed up with a call to the front desk. The clerk told me that my reservation had been canceled for 'no show'. What? I had said I called the previous day to advise, and followed the instructions given. The clerk refused, unwilling to made amends or re-open the booking to use the room that I had already paid for. I kindly asked she push my request up for review/approval, but did not hear back. I called Expedia on that cancellation, they too called the hotel. Expedia said I needed to call the hotel directly and ask for the manager, after the holiday. I did that, and yet still no response, or any sort of acknowledgement. I am not looking for a refund, only a little kindness and empathy for helping travelers in need. I suppose when they already have your money, they don't have to care.

Great stay, but watch out for hidden "Safe Fees!" I had a…read moredecent one-night stay here. The staff was great, the accommodations were fine, and the included breakfast was actually better than expected. However, be aware of "nickel and diming" tactics. I booked through Priceline and paid $143.97 (including all taxes and fees). A few days later, a separate $1.09 charge appeared from the hotel directly. When I called, I was told it was a "safe fee." We were never informed of this fee, nor was it itemized during check-in or on the third-party receipt. While the amount is small, these types of undisclosed fees feel like a fraudulent business tactic. It's disappointing to see Choice Hotels International, Inc. following this trend. They lost a customer and future word-of-mouth recommendations over a dollar. I'm grateful the fee wasn't larger, but it's the principle that matters.
