Days Inn And Suites San Diego Near Sea World

Never again. Old dirty outdated, just yuck. Only plus is the location in the city, and the nice gentleman that checked us out at the end of our stay. 2 of the 4 nights we stayed there we had NO hot water, so guess what that meant, we got to go to bed filthy from the beach. Im REALLY glad this was not a romantic trip and I was just with my 6 year old who doesn’t care what I look (or smell) like. Just awful. After 6 WEEKS of going in circles, I was just now issued a whopping 22 bucks back to my account for the inconvenience. That is an insult! I would not suggest this place to anyone.

You’re lucky if they don’t put you on hold for 5+ minutes more than 3 times. Front desk had no idea what they were doing regarding check-​in. Don’t stay here.

my girlfriend and i stayed here recently, and she woke up with bed bug bites… i am anal about using lotion etc after extensive travelling overseas in third world countries (southern africa comes to mind). the place has an okay exterior look, and the rooms are large. however, my recommendation is to pay a few more bucks for a reputable hotel chain so you won’t take this contagious outbreak with you when you check out… hilton, sheraton, holiday inn etc etc…

Hotel is clean and kept up to date. Staff is friendly and the hotel has a free airport shuttle. If you like a hot shower this hotel is not for you. The water is at best luke warm. The free breakfast is very minimal.

Great place, not brand sparkly new, but clean rooms, convenient location, and very reasonable rates, and very pleasant personnel. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is that housekeeping didn’t leave me any coffee packets the last day.:-).I’ll stay here again.

Good location, decent breakfast, free wifi, HBO, lots of parking. Rooms have a fridge and microwave for leftovers. Great place if you just need a room in this price range.

After leaving the roach infested & bed bug filled hotel across the street this place was greAt. They matched what we were paying per night. We got a very clean & bigger room no bugs in sight. They even showed us to our room & stayed to make sure everything was good.
I was ready to drive 4 hours home (@ midnight). Glad we stayed & headed back during the day!

Horrible. Made a reservation and could not check in due to them not taking my card (total bs) Front desk service very rude

*****WARNING!!! Bed Bugs!!! We found at least 5 or 6 on our pillows and the room reeked of smoke. Do not stay here do not check in here and never return here!!!*****

We got the executive suite. We asked for a non-​smoking room but clearly people smoke something here. We stepped out on the balcony and found a cig butt on the floor. Then, we found weed in the trash can. We opened the fridge and it was warm, stank of something rotten. The room smelled moldy and AC made it worse. They provide tiny bottle of shampoo and soap, no toothbrush or paste. The hand towels weren’t new on the sink.
We told the front and they lowered the price.
We got the top floor but in the middle of the night we heard two huge hammering thuds above our ceiling, once at 4am and at midnight at midnight. The second night, the phone rang at midnight but hung up. Then the security came to knock out door to tell us our engine was on for hours. (That was nice of them.) we checked the car, it was on but and the doors were locked. Spooky!
I feel unhealthy from smelling the mold and other stench all night for two days. I need fresh air.
We learned a lesson to always check reviews before making reservations.
It’s 1:30am and I can’t wait till morning. I’m staying under the sheets to filter the smell and toxins that might be in air.
Never again.

The showers were clean, breakfast is included from 6 am to 10 am. It’s not that bad actually. Staff was friendly.

This place is low cost for a reason. The AC isn’t very good so hopefully you enjoy sleeping in a warm room. The shower only had scalding hot water so hopefully you don’t mind burning your skin each day. The room was tended to daily but they took the used towels away and never replaced with new ones. I had to call each day to request them. Didn’t replace toilet paper either which is really inconvenient when you run out. The «breakfast» was pancakes and oatmeal and fruit loops. Not even any hot water for tea although they provided tea bags. Guess all the hot water is dedicated to burning people in the showers. I usually stay at Hampton Inn. I vow to never veer from the norm again by picking Days Inn.

This lil piggy didn’t sleep well… we got our room at Groupon. and it was a good deal too $ 92 a night…
Once we got into the room. the room smelled like a wet rug… or a wet dog… maybe like mold… so anyways it was hot and we turned on the AC… it was one of those old school AC and it was vibrating and make loud chirping noises .but.whatever it’s hot
And we were about to walk out but our door wouldn’t lock… we called the lobby and said they will send out a maintenance guy in about 15 – 20 minutes… it’s been 45 minutes and we called the lobby again and their excuse was he was fixing other things… it got fixed later and left to eat
Came back and opened up the couch bed… and a roach came out of it… if I can give 0 stars I would
This place did not blow my house down and I will never come back here #3lilpigz

Not the worst place once inside the hotel room. Maybe it was just the room I got; I don’t know. But the suite they gave us was pretty well kept, 2 beds in one room and a living room with a sofa bed. There is one bathroom with the sink outside it, other then that it is nice with 2 plasma tv’s in each room. Although the area that it’s around doesn’t seem to be the best, and the actual outside appearance of the hotel seems to be less than appealing, once inside the room it actually isn’t all that bad. For the price you can’t really go wrong here. Would recommend this place

I stayed at this hotel when I came to San Diego to run a marathon. I found that service at the front was friendly and professional. I feel it’s a bit ridiculous to have the hotel has an entire split into two halves. However, I felt that my room was very neat and very comfortable for my stay. I was surprised since I have stood at more expensive hotels with a lower caliber of cleanliness so I was surprised!
The front was open when I needed to check out early in the morning and they even helped me out with a couple of other things so overall I had a satisfying stay in a very comfortable room… the only thing I would change are the televisions which get very poor reception and are very outdated apart from that my stay here was excellent! Pool was a plus.

Horrible…
Very limited breakfast (didn’t have any kind of meat)
Smells bad
Dirty
Small parking lot
No movie channels and channels weren’t even that clear on the channels they do have
Bad service
Everything looked old
Paying for that much for the room, they should have been better then that. I paid the same amount at the Marriott and I got what I paid for. Really good service, great breakfast, clean room, very updated, and smells like it should not dirty, and spacious.
Never staying there again.
You would think for paying that much they could have renovating that place.

If you just need a room for the night and are planning on leaving early this place will do. It is an old place with some smells but they try to keep it clean. It has convenient access to Walgreens which is right next door in case you forget something but on the downside it’s also next door to apartments, strip clubs, and tattoo parlors. Also, this place has two buildings and 1 is across an alley from another.
They have a continental basic breakfast that was as expected for a place like this, on the positive side it wasn’t good but I didn’t get sick either. After breakfast I didn’t have an appointment until noon so I hung out in my room as long as I could take it. The pool area gets very loud and echoes off all the rooms that point towards it. I noticed as I was leaving all the noise wasn’t from people even staying at the hotel but visitors from the apartments next door.
Walking to Walgreens there were many homeless people and broken beer bottles which is fairly common in some parts of San Diego.
Lastly, parking was designed for smart cars or mini coopers; anything bigger will not fit. Luckily it was not crowded when I was there.
If your looking to bring the family as I did, I would keep looking

Lobby looks nice, but don’t let this impression fool you. Once I got into the room with my friend we were confronted with an extreme smelly humid room accompanied by 2 spiders, ants and brown stains all over the bed.
We crossed the street in order to reach the lobby where the manager apologized in a passive aggressive manor (RUDE!!) and asked us to give a second shot to a considerably better room.
2^nd chance was terrible as well. We found cigarette butts, worn flip flops, and furthermore roaches in the bathroom.
THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE.
We walked back to the front desk through the parking lot filled with drug dealers and addicts hanging out (really creepy).
The staff encouraged us to give a last chance to a 3^rd room. This time an upgrade to a suite with a king bed. We gave it a last shot, but once arrived we found nasty blood stains, and other weird stains on furniture that weren’t supposed to be there.
All the furniture is worn, the staff & manager are extremely rude (passive aggressive). Definitely very noisy with the kind of people this place would attract. We would never go back here, and even the people that came after us reacted the same way on the friendliness and hygiene.
Unsafe, Dirty, and Unfriendly. Wouldn’t stay here even for free.

DO NOT STAY HERE! This place is disgusting, outdated, full of broken amenities, and once again let me emphasize DISGUSTING!
1. There was MOLD covering the entire inside of the fridge!!!
2. The electricity went out for over 8 hours at one point
3. When we first arrived to the room there were no towels or tissue.
4. Half of the outlets did not work. At all.
5. The microwave was missing one of it’s legs underneath so it rested at a tilt
6. The tv’s were fuzzy which I didn’t even think was still possible in this day and age
7. The location is incredibly shady and the people you see walking around in the parking lot or hanging outside of the rooms all look like drug dealers and crack addicts.
8. The parking lot actually has a sign that says to park at your own risk…
I would not recommended this place to anyone. In fact I will say again, DO NOT STAY HERE! If I could leave zero stars I would.

Review is specific to room 250.
The Cons: toilet was hard to flush, toilet was plumbed with warm water, microwave was 1980s style twist to cook. The toilet has a slight leak, but that just provides a soothing waterfall sound, essential to have when going to your safe place during mans’truation times.
The Pros: Quick convenient check in, comfortable bed, hot shower, warm toilet seat, cold mini fridge, microwave, pool & jacuzzi, no dumpster diving crack heads, free continental breakfast… and did I mention I booked through Priceline for only $ 79/​night!!!
You’d have to be a darned fool to pass this up. That’s a Super 8 price, but it aint no Super 8 stay (see my Disneyland area Super 8 review)
Here’s a little tip for the gentlemen readers. When I’m in the jacuzzi, I like to be alone, unless we’re talking about marzipan (an almond confection). I’ve found a sure-​fire way to make that happen, and I’d like to share that with you. Purchase two identical swim trunks, the kind with the big pockets. Put a pair on, and ball up the second pair and put it in the pocket of the pair you wear. Proceed to the jacuzzi.
Now this works if there are already people there, or if new people show up later. Immerse yourself into the bubbling pool, and let out a «Now that’s what I’m talking about». Use the voice of Kip Dynamite, if so inclined.
Then after a few minutes of soak, reach down and remove the «fake» suit from the pocket of your «real» suit while improvising like you’re stripping off your real suit. Finally hoist the fake suit skyward, slap it down onto the cool deck and announce «Wow, that was really itchy. Hope y’all don’t mind». Use the voice of Kip Dynamite, if so inclined. All that’s left to do now, is sit back, and watch the others scurry for the stairs. * poof *, they’re gone!
My patented move has never failed… never once… but then last night… It was an evening like many others. I was relaxing with my fake trunks locked & loaded. An unsightly woman entered the pool. We’ve all heard the expression «I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers». Well, this woman, nor her crackers, would have even made it past the front door.
I start to prepare myself mentally for the performance. After acknowledging her existence, I make my move, trunks raised high, slapped down, itchy’ness confirmed! I nestle smugly back on my high pressure jet, and think to myself «buh byeeee».
I see her eyes widen, yet not accompanied by that awkward facial expression. No, she throws in a raised eyebrow. Standing up, she drops her bikini bottom, raises it high, slaps it on the cool deck and announces that she doesn’t mind at all.
It was at that moment, I knew I had wandered down a bad path. Appearing calm in demeanor, I mentally processes all mitigation scenarios, like that computer from War Games.
I settled on an old Eddie Murphy scene from Trading Places. I reach down and start feeling around to where my real suit is, shout out «Oh shoot… oh shoot», stand up, look down in disbelief, grab my fake suit in my right hand while patting my real suit with my left hand, announce «It’s a Christmas Miracle! Oh! Oh! I can’t believe I grew another suit! What kind of wonderful, yet unsettling surprise is this!!!»
Somewhere from the 2^nd or 3^rd story balcony, I hear a door open, and someone shout «Shaddup Down There!»
«Shaddup»? My theatrical performance garnered a pedestrian invective? Shan’t I enjoy the courtesy of a well mannered «Shut up»? It was reminiscent of Three Stooges dialog. I half expected Moe Howard to come klunk our heads together.
Backing away towards the steps, I look at her and whispered, «You saw that, right ???»… and * poof *, I was gone…
