Days Inn San Diego/Downtown/Convention Center

The place isn’t in a great part of town. If you have kids or are traveling alone I wouldn’t recommend it. The shower didn’t drain well and the bathroom smelled slightly like mildew. The beds were clean with good firm mattresses. The pillows were super puffy and firm. For me, the hardest part was the noise. We heard every bus, motorcycle, and car with loud exhaust drive by. We could even hear people’s conversations as they walked by outside. We decided to find another place after one night due to the noise. If you are a hard sleeper and don’t worry about your car you’ll be fine. All the staff were friendly.

Days Inn San Diego/​Downtown is not a fancy place by any standards, but if you are looking to stay downtown it is quite alright. I used my Wyndham Rewards program so the cost was about $ 80. Most other places were in the $ 200 range.
We stayed just one night on our way to a baseball game at Petco Park, and it suited our needs just fine; a clean comfortable room, small breakfast, and quiet room.
If you are planning to go to Petco Park or the Gaslamp District check the bulletin board in the lobby. There is a complimentary shuttle that you can reach by texting them. They answered back quickly, and the driver arrived in about 10 minutes.
The parking area is small, and there is an additional charge for parking, which is understandable.
The front desk gentleman at check in was very polite and helpful, as was the person at checkout time.

4 stars– for a Day’s Inn.
So far, so good. Really, the place is clean, and everything necessary is here.
— Bathroom: clean, odorless. After reading the other reviews, I was terrified to check.
— Beds: come w/​4 pillows that aren’t rock hard or squishy– soft. Again, clean. No qualms about firmness of the mattresses.
— TV: Vizio, several channels (standard cable stuff– FX, Food Network, AMC, etc). Fair size. Larger than I thought, which is nice.
— Microwave: clean, & it works
— Mini-​fridge: clean, & what can you say– there’s a mini– fridge
Lights work, décor is dated, furniture is old and rickety, but really, it’s not that expensive (between $ 80 for weekday– $ 100 Fri./Sat. a night if you’re a Wyndham member), so you should be good to go.
Parking: $ 15 a night
WiFi– Free
Location– easy to get around, easy to find
*** Noise level– the walls are thin, so you can hear ppl walking about outside.
Continental breakfast– much better than expected (*** This was at 7am though…)
— toast, bagels, cereal, oatmeal (instant, in packets)
— hot chocolate, tea, coffee, Tropicana oj, Hansen’s juice boxes
— Gogurt
— apples, bananas
— peanut butter, cream cheese, butter, not-​butter, honey

This is actually not a bad spot. The check in was fairly painless and the room is a decent size with lots of extras to make up for the drab decorum. The only issue is the limited parking spaces. That’s because people want to park where they can see their car out the window. Nobody wanted to park underneath the rooms along the wall where there was like 10 – 15 extra spaces!
The room: 2 Queen beds. Plenty of room for two people. There’s a desk with an office chair and a little round table for eating. A mini fridge with a microwave on top. A coffee maker and even can opener. Hair dryer, safe, rack with hangers, a single sink and fairly normal sized bathroom with tub and toilet. The TV is bigger than other higher end places that I’ve seen. It’s a 42″ Vizio with two HDMI ports. Awesome!!! Hooked up my PS4 to it and BAM! I’m playing Uncharted 4 on a large 1080p TV!
The price was also fair. I think it would normally cost more, but we received a discount through Wyndham. Wednesday– Sunday night was about ~$ 450-​$ 480 (this is with parking and taxes included) Parking is $ 15 a night I believe. Taxes was a bit higher than what we’re used to.
The table in the room was sticky clean? like… it was clean, but with a weird cleaner, so it was kinda sticky. lol. We were right next to the ice maker on the 4^th floor. Only shared a wall on one side and nobody in a room above us (top floor)
3 – 3.5 stars usually. The free continental breakfast was quite filled with lots of choices of food to eat. My wife and I were kinda surprised about that. Good job! Bagels, gogurt, bananas, cereal, coffee, tea, breads, etc… not to shabby for a Days Inn.
The wifi is free also, it’s kinda slow but I was able to do story missions on Destiny using the PS4… so it’s fast enough for that. Again… pretty decent. The little things like the TV size, spacious room and awesome breakfast put’s it towards the 3.5 star area. The location also helps! It’s right off the freeway… like seconds off of the Ash St. exit.

The room priced just right for a one night booked the day of. The check in time is at 3pm and breakfast is strictly from 6−9am which if you have a late night of partying, isn’t that kind.
The door was filled with toothpaste when my friend turned the knob, he freaked out but I laughed my ass off.
TV is poor and wifi is slow despite it being free. Only 14 channels on the television. Parking here is NOT FREE, $ 15 a day parking not pass added to the booking.

Night clerk very rude and obnoxious raise his voice and refused to except cash payment. I was forced to walk to the bank to deposit money in the rain. Was very bostrious with terrible attitude. I have never been treated that poorly at any hotel ever. He personally ruined my visit to the Days Inn downtown San Diego because of his ugly attitude.

We had the last minute idea to go to the gaslamp for my sisters birthday last month. We booked a room here and it was perfectly fine! We checked in with no problems, the guy helping behind the counter we super duper nice. The room was clean, had a fridge and microwave, and the ac was on point! I knocked a star off because the parking is a little crappy. We had two cars but they could only accommodate one so we had to find street parking for the other. It was only about 8 – 10 block walk to the bars. We walked there and back. There was a little bit of night noise/​sirens but I expect that when in a downtown/​metro area. Check out was at 12! That was a bonus! Average hotel, great for the price!

Oh gawd where to start. I did read lots of reviews on lots of travel sites for this place before booking. Reviews are always a mixed bag but I thought this place looked and sounded decent for price and location. I booked on a travel site first then went to company website and there it was 50 bucks cheaper but no refunds so I said why not since I was planning on going there anyway. I pulled up and was like omg yuck. So I check in and ask the manager if the rooms were nice on the inside and he said of course not that I was expecting any other answer. The glass elevator was like 100 plus degrees inside godforbid if the thing broke down. The room smelled so strong of idk dirty motel so strong thank god I brought my smelly candle just in case. We immediately removed comforters and placed them in the corner since they looked super dingy and who knows how often they wash them. The tv was a nice flat screen but channel selection sucked. The fridge did actually get cold and the microwave was clean thats my 1 star. The 15 parking charge is a joke. All in all displeased with outside and inside condition. If I wasnt locked into a non cancelation no refund I would have left as soon as I opened the room door.

A «good» room for a «good» price! Room was clean, towels were fanned, and the furniture/​tv/​bathroom was all updated. With’in walking distance of the gas lamp district. Parking was 15 bucks which sucks but it’s better than having your car put on some random street. Overall experience was nice!

Absolutely OK. Do not judge it by how it looks from outside.
PROS: Our room was clean and comfortable, staff friendly. Very convenient location off the highway and everything in walking distance! Only 5min drive from zoo and Balboa Park.
CONS: TV only gets 480i and about 20 channels. No hot breakfast like eggs, but great local coffee. $ 15/​dy to park, tacked on at check out (better than most, though)

SF couple stayed one night during Memorial Day weekend 5÷24÷15 ROOM 414.
My bf and i decided to go to SD from LA to attend a pool party @ ANDAZ Rooftop so we booked this room since everything else was out of our budge. This room was $ 190/​night tax included +$ 15/​night parking on an open lot (cheap compared to other hotels, then again this is not a hotel its an inn).
We arrived around 4pm and our room was ready. I can already tell from the people working and staying here at the lobby that it might not have be smart for me to stay here considering i always stay in bigger hotels, bf drives an M4, and we have designers stuff on hand. We get on the elevator and even the couple inside with us were freaked out by the squeaky sound. Upon entering our ROOM 414, i could smell an old smell like perfume. It was quite bad triggering my asthma but i had to deal with it. I was surprised that inside did not look too outdated, but the sink was the first thing you get it. It was right next to exit doors. We had a room with a view, view was whatever. LOCATION WAS AWESOME. BED WAS PRETTY COMFY. BED SHEETS HAD MINOR STAINS, TOWELS WERE SUPER DIRTY AS IF THEY USED THEM ON SOMEONE WHO COLORED THEIR HAIR. The room was big enough for a couple.
1:30AM-2:30AM. My bf wakes me up because there’s so much siren going on outside. On top off that, someone tried opening our door since anyone from public can access because it’s an Inn. I felt reall UNSAFE and could not sleep. THE BALCONY GLASS DOOR DID NOT LOCK EITHER, SO PEOPLE OUTSIDE OR YOUR NEIGHBORS CAN ACCESS YOUR ROOM. I wanted it to be sunrise already. There was also a couple fighting which didnt help.
For the price i paid $ 190+15parking, i would stay elsewhere where i can be comfortable, clean, safe. Many of the people who stayed there looked strange. I did bother trying to free breakfast. Im sure it wasnt great.

Nice place to stay staff was great our room was clean, nice and spacious we didn’t have any issues. Location was great everything was walking distance to Little Italy and the tolley and across street is the harbor. I read review regarding noise volume well you are staying by airport and train tracks. I didn’t hear any noise because we had the window close. Can’t forget the free breakfast!

You get what pay for and especially in city that attracts a lot of tourists, of course the prices are gonna be more expensive than they should be. As a college student, this place was within our price range and pretty accommodating for us. 15 – 20 mins walking distance from the bars and it’s located literally right off S163. I’ll admit I was skeptical about this place since the reviews were horrifying but didn’t detect any bed bugs nor did we have any bites. Our room came with a fridge, perfect for all the booze we brought to pregame, and a microwave which we didn’t use but could come in handy for savvy people who don’t want to eat out all the time. The room is either stuffy or freezing cold, there’s no in between but we were only there while we slept. Continental breakfast was a plus. had an average selection of things to eat, enough to get full on. I would stay here again.

Booked this hotel on Expedia because of the extra 400 reward points … but because of all the «BEDBUG» warnings in these reviews, I will be canceling. 1 or 2 bedbug reviews maybe I would have still given it a shot, but seriously… 3+ No thanks!

When I travel, I look at review sites to gauge, where I would want to stay. Unfortunately I did not do a good job this time. I understand that San Diego is a tourist hotspot. Things can be busy and during the summer it gets pricey. I stayed at Days Inn Hotels for the price over $ 150.00. For that kind of money, you would expect the place to be cleaner and updated. The area did NOT feel safe and comfortable. Homeless people were walking the area and digging through the cans. The pool was across the parking lot. It opens at 9am and closes at 9pm. They do not provide towel service at this location, so bring extras from home. The no smoking room with two queen beds features free Wi-​Fi and parking. The radio next to the bed has no Aux port for your smart phones.
I do feel bad for the manager at the desk (Arthur). He seemed like a cool guy, but he could use help. For instance in the morning, I went to the pool and saw a film of white pockets floating in the water. I brought it to his attention and he stated that he saw someone eating breakfast there and the substance was milk. He assured me that his staff would clean it as soon as they had a free moment. I feel if he had extra hands at the desk that problem should have been fixed the moment it was noticed, especially for the price we paid. We left the location sooner than we planned because of a dirty pool.
One extra note: Don’t let them set you up in the back room next to the laundry facility. It would probably be noisy and the Sprinter runs in back of the building.

Arrived after a three hour drive to meet up with a friend only to be told (as I should have been told previously when booking online) that I could not buy a parking space as there was only one space allotted per room. The manager could not even tell me where alternative parking was available. All bad.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. My friends and I were looking for a cheap hotel in San Diego for the weekend, and we found just that. Yes, it was very affordable, but we ended up leaving and asking for a refund shortly after we arrived. As soon as we got there we saw a heavily intoxicated man on the third floor. He was yelling at me and my friends and at first we weren’t too concerned. But as we made our way to the elevator he started yelling sexual slurs at us and even tried to get in the elevator with us. I know one person does not represent a hotel, but when we went to tell the manager his response was «we already gave him a warning». We were appalled, thankfully we were able to get a full refund on our room. Overall the experience was traumatic and I expected more out of the staff there. If you don’t care about sketchy people and bad staff then I would totally say this is your place. Otherwise, I would suggest paying just a little bit more money for a more decently run hotel.

I booked my reservation through American Express $ 80 upon my arrival I was charged $ 95. $ 15 parking fee added, then in the next room three men playing guitar all night long. don’t stay here!

This Day’s Inn location is a step down from any other Day’s Inn that I’ve ever stayed in. Plus, it’s was 2−3x as much money as any other Days Inn. They also charged an additional $ 15 to park. I get that San Diego is a more expensive town, but come on.
The ‘free’ continental breakfast came with old, thick, apples. The 3 oz coffee cups came with non hole lids. Thank goodness it was only 3 ounces, because it was terrible. The next night I stayed in a Days Inn in another city and it was night and day to this place. Both desk clerks at check in and check out were not friendly folk. I would not stay here again.

I stayed here from March 20 – 22 and noticed some bites the morning after my first night’s stay. I thought they were just mosquito bites and did not think twice that they could have been bed bug bites. I woke up at 3:30AM the morning after my 2^nd night’s stay and saw that I had new bites, so I went down to the 24-​hour lobby/​front desk to see if anything could be done. The 24-​hour lobby/​front desk was locked. No one responded even after I knocked on the door.
I reluctantly went back to the room and went back to bed (because my roommate was sleeping and I didn’t want to wake her) for 2 hours of TORTURE– itching and imagining critters crawling all over me. I eventually fell asleep, but woke up with bites on my face, neck, chest, back, waistline, arms, hands and feet. I had 43 bites. I pulled back the covers of the bed and found a bed bug crawling across the sheet. I immediately called the front desk to come up and inspect our room.
The manager at the time, Jeff, came into our room to respond to our call, but unfortunately could not identify what the bug was and said he could not refund us the 2 nights we paid for the room. I had to throw out my suitcase, laptop bag and purse (which I told Jeff I would be doing), and not to mention also took the following day off from work to dry clean and wash all of my belongings.
We were refunded the costs of the room the day after we checked out and were told that the room was not infested with bed bugs but was infested with fire ants (which does not make sense, because our bites were itchy, and not painful, as fire ant bites are explained to be). I am still without a suitcase and laptop bag and had to buy a new handbag. I endured the bites for a week and am still paranoid that I brought the bugs back to my apartment in LA. I made 3 calls to corporate, who were responsive and apologetic, and said that the Days Inn owner would respond to me. I still have not heard anything from the owner, 13 days after our horrific stay.
I definitely DO NOT recommend staying here– I don’t know what is worse: the bed bug anguish or the terrible, terrible customer service.
