Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area
10/10 Excellent
"From someone who is alway looking for the best within a budget and ALWAYS doing my research here is my honest upfront review. I did find some bad reviews for this place but also some great ones, so I decided to give it a chance. We had a wonderful stay over all, I got a standard 2 queen with a sofa bed, the room was surprisingly very big and spacious which I was very happy about because most hotels aren’t like that nor many hotels offer a sofa bed nowadays, which was very beneficial. The hotel itself was nice and the room was very clean. The two employees at the desk were also very kind and accommodating with any situation that I brought to them, as well as the cleaning staff.
Breakfast was included and is on the fourth floor, which I thought was a bit strange, but that is beside the point. Breakfast included cereal, yogurt, granola, muffins, apples, oranges, pancakes(one day), waffles(the next), scrambled eggs, toast, coffee, and a variety of juices.
All in all, I will rate it a 9/10 and my only reason for that is because of the windows in the hotel aren’t fully sealed so they kind of sound like the window is open and unfortunately, we were on the side where the freeway was so it was a little bit loud, but not terrible we were still able to get rest. And secondly, parking was an additional $20 a day on property which was limited if you didn’t get there early. BUT there is parking on the street but because it was Comic-con weekend it made that impossible to do. "
"They property was really nice and the rooms were clean, spacious and well kept. The pool are was in a great location and our kids enjoyed it. It's not walkable to anything else but in a good central location to drive to spots we were interested in. They did discount our parking but honestly, not sure why we paid for parking on their own property. "
