Days Inn – San Diego

Wanted to stay at a cheap place for Valentine’s Day just to have some time alone. This is no longer Days Inn, but a motel 6 now. It was kind of ghetto because they have just placed a sticker sign of «motel6» over Days inn.
We had checked in and got our key to the room, and once we got to the door and opened it. There was someone else’s stuff all over the bed and the tv was on. So we went back to the lobby and told the guy and he said it was weird because there was nothing about that room being checked out to anyone else.
So we ended up getting another room instead, and it was perfectly fine until the morning. We realized there was no shampoo and conditioner!
this location isn’t too bad but only 3 stars for those 2 incidents

Valentine’s Day weekend everything is either booked or costs an arm and a leg, unfortunately I had read good reviews or so I thought. Decent size room with fridge and microwave but the towels are small and super stiff but the total deal breaker… Saw 2 cockroaches

When you go to check in you have to be buzzed in. This is also where they have the complimentary breakfast in the mornings. Nothing special, just a small variety of cereal. I stayed here for a night after a Kaskade concert at the amphitheater.
Not the cleanest place I’ve stayed at but I tried to make the best out of it. They definitely need to upgrade some things. You get what you pay for.
At first we thought the tv was broken but it turns out that you have to turn on a light switch for the tv to work. We ended up unplugging the lamp that turns on at the same time since it was annoying.
The towels were not of good quality. They really hurt your skin. Plus I found someone’s hair on a towel before I even used it. Ew! Same goes for the bed. The mattress was so uncomfortable. So stiff it hurt to lay down. I wouldn’t suggest jumping onto the bed if you like to do such things because you’ll be in a great deal of pain after doing so. I probably wouldn’t stay here again unless it was a last resort. I also felt really itchy leaving this place and wanted to go home and shower right away.

Awful place! Take the photo of the swimming pool off this site, we were very hot and pulled up an old Unilocal review. It had a nice pool photo, and looked good. We were super hot in San Diego, and with Comic con, most of the rooms were booked. I plopped down over $ 200.00 for a night of what promised to be a 3 ½ star hotel. THIS HOTEL IS A NIGHTMARE. We drove all the way down almost to Tijuana, and it’s right near the border patrol with sirens and helicopters flying over. It’s right near the highway, and across the street is a check cashing place/​liquor store, and all around are crappy trailer parks. Super ghetto. And the worst of it is THERE IS NO SWIMMING POOL, IT IS CEMENT. Yep, they said they got rid of the pool 3 years ago and those are old photos. We checked right out, and my booking company is sending me a refund, thank god. I ended up finding the Hilton Hotel for a little more that was super luxurious, I recommend you start there.

I have no complaints about this hotel. Rooms are very clean. They have a full size couch and coffee table, along with a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The TV is older, but the bed and bedding is newer and modern. Shower has a very good shower head. Very clean, no bugs, no issues. Hotel staff are VERY polite and professional. Always asking if they can do anything for me or how my day is. The Days Inn breakfast in the lobby is a small little area but is super fresh with chocolate chip and other various muffins and donuts along with several different flavored coffees, juices, milks, cereal and fresh fruit with the grocery store stickers still on them. Nice outdoor sitting area too. Area isn’t too bad. The neighborhood down the street probably isn’t amazing but up where the hotel and on past is fine — several restaurant options. Stayed here 4 days for a Tradeshow event for business. Sad that the pool isn’t here anymore tho — they used the pool area as the outdoor hangout area.

COCKROACHES!!! EWWWWWWWWW! After freaking out because we seen not one but two cockroaches. We went to the front desk, complained, & never got our money back! We left right away to go to another hotel.
Don’t go here!

I’m sure this Days Inn has seen better days. I stay here because sometimes I can’t crash at my place around the block.
Pros
Basic Continental breakfast
Plenty of parking
Great staff
Cons
Rooms smell odd
Terrible showers
Towels need to be replaced asap

Just a year ago I stayed there for a wall drop job (tear down 2 walls to open up the living space) in town and found my room impeccably clean and airy. Later that night I had to complain about an incessant running toilet on the other side of the wall and a staff member was promptly at my door to resolve the problem. Turns out there was an amassing puddle of water that would have later caused damage (and an ensuing mold smell) to that room. That quick, attentive action to a customer’s needs had curtailed a potential money pit for that room.

This hotel is conveniently located near the I-​5 at Hollister and Coronado Ave. It is a no-​frills hotel, but at a fraction of the price compared to many other hotels in the San Diego area, its packs in a good deal of value for the money.
The rooms were clean and well kept. It came with a king-​sized bed with five pillows, a couch, television, and tables.
The sink area was a little cramped for space, as well as the adjacent bathroom, but nothing to piss and moan about.
Check-​in & check-​out were extremely convenient and the hotel provides a complimentary continental breakfast.
In summary, this is a budget-​friendly hotel that will get the job done if you need a clean place to crash for a few nights, and is also seemingly located approximately 15 – 20 minutes away from main tourist attractions via highways.
