Best Western Seven Seas

Best Western Seven Seas

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, bed comfortable. Bathroom had clean towels and toiletries. Room could use a refresh and modernization, to include USB ports for device charging. Was not given any information about WiFi or how to login so that area could use some improvement. Staff wasn’t the most friendly nor helpful, but wasn’t rude by any means either. Great location close to shopping, restaurants and local attractions. Parking was free which was a plus. Good place to stay when visiting San Diego."
