Parking garage only supports vehicles under 6” tall - parking for larger vehicles is quite a walk to entrance. Carpets frayed and stained - the entire room needs to renovated and updated with new items

Rooms are hit and miss, entrance is a disaster, parking is tight and the staff are very odd, rude and argumentative. Stay here if you’re trying to save a buck, otherwise look elsewhere. I travel to SD about 3 times a year, I would not stay here again.

The property was generally nice. Bed, hot water in shower and quite location were the positives. You get cookies when you check in but are charged $3 for a bottle of water. The hot tub was broken my entire stay ( one of the top reasons I choose this location over others with free breakfast). Cost was to high for what you receive. Lobby was always hot (restaurant and bar also hot).

Air conditioner was broken in my room. There where gnats in the room. The separate bedroom that had bunkbeds smelled like a kid peed in the corner, and the elevator was broken to the parking lot, which made it very difficult to carry my luggage.

Meh, could have been cleaner.
This property doesn't offer free breakfast, but does offer a very expensive version of the free breakfast you get at any best Western or other hotel offering free breakfast. Even a coffee was $3 and $22 for adult and $13 for kids. But again, just a low quality breakfast buffet. It's run down and we didn't even get a cleaning for stay over, so trash and such wasn't taken out. Had to ask for cups etc since they don't clean between days. The pool was nice, the beds were comfy. Parking costly and a VERY TIGHT SQUEEZE. It was the worst, but I won't go back.

I was a little bummed that the Jacuzzi was closed and we had to switch room because our room smelled like smoke. So our second view wasn’t as nice as the first, but overall the beds were comfortable, and the staff is nice.
