We stayed here because we went to a concert at the Pechanga Arena. Hotel was nice, clean, quiet and walkable to/from the arena. Bed and pillows were comfortable. I liked that the room had a fridge and microwave. Complimentary hot breakfast was great with many options. Hotel staff was friendly. I would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We just stayed overnight, barely 12 hours, but it was a pleasant experience. The front desk person, Jomar, was very friendly and efficient. The room with 2 queen beds & sofa was pretty spacious and the bathroom looks like it was recently renovated. Dove soaps and body wash dispensers, lots of counter space for the four of us. Water pressure was low but manageable. Breakfast was decent, with a good variety of options. The elevator is kinda slow but not a big deal, and the parking lot is tight, but also not a big deal as there's easy street parking too. Would stay here again if we're in San Diego in the future!

I would like to thank the staff at the breakfast kitchen for working diligently and efficiently, serving many guests beyond capacity with dedication and patience. The variety of the breakfast menu was excellent. The front desk staff were very accommodating and courteous. Room cleaning could use slight improvement, particularly with the daily refill of sanitary items, water, and coffee. The hotel would also benefit from noise-reduction windows, as sirens and traffic outside can be disruptive. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would love to return to this property.
