Pros: I liked the location and free parking. The room was okay, nothing special. It looked dated.
Cons: The room looked dated. I could hear the trains from our room. I'm glad I only stayed a night.

Pros: Cleanliness and location (if you have a car)
Cons: Goodies, restaurant next door didn't have value for price, was loud due to live DJ/band Fri-Sun nights. There were no other restaurants/gas stations/transit easy to walk to. Advice: Don't be cheap! Ditch Goodies and offer continental breakfast instead!

Nice stay at conveniently located...
Pros: Modern, bright and spacious hotel close to freeway.
Quiet even though right next to I-5.
Plenty of parking.
Rooms are clean and modern.
Very good for families.
Several good dining options on the other side of the freeway.
Walmart is about 10 minutes away.
Free Keurig coffee in main common area.
nice pool and hot tub.
Cons: Wish they had the free breakfast like other Best Western hotels, but they explained that the Goody's restaurant onsite prevented them from offering their free continental breakfast...sounds weak, but " it is what it is" as they say
Walls between rooms a little thin...could hear conversations from next room.

Cons: Best western is deceiving in their add on Booking. Com never once did they say before you booked that they where going to RIP YOU OFF?!!!!!!

Nice clean room, would stay...
Pros: It was clean and roomy.
Cons: There was no food or beverages offered in the lobby, not even a plastic spoon when we needed one. The fitness room is available 24/7 but no one could regulate the temperature until after 8 am. It was warmer in the fitness room than it was outside.

Two night stay. Can't really...
Pros: Nice modern clean hotel. Restaurant over the road (part of hotel?) was very good and you get a discount in there if you're staying at the hotel.
Cons: Was a 5-10 minute drive into San Diego so wasn't ideally located. We knew that though when we booked and had a hire car so wasn't an issue for us. Others might find it a negative point though.
