Clean room, pillows way too full (personal opinion). Breakfast area was limited and nearly empty an hour before closing and told nothing was left to refill stock. ie: yogurt. Basic place for good price on hotwire if you don't need anything fancy.

You get what you pay for. Decent room for the money. Older decor. Don't expect the same level as a Hampton or Holiday Inn Express. Close to San Diego. Right off main highway. Room was clean. Staff was nice. Breakfast was continental style.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean. Shower was hot. A/C was on its last leg. Had trouble with WIFi, literally had to call Cox for my son’s tablet (some captive portal block). Worked fine after. Area is convenient for highways and walkable to c store and handful of restaurants. Although are is sketchy (vagrants). Was woken up at 3:30a on the last night because loud argument in parking lot (sat night). Pack ear plugs.

There were ROACHES in my ROOM
there were roaches in my room. I called immediately and a nice gentleman showed up and picked it up with a tissue and threw it in the trash for me. I was offered a different room, but I just wanted to leave and find a new location with a clean room. The Hotel refused to refund me for my stay, and I was forced to spend additional money on a new hotel room for the following night. Awful experience with Howard Johnson, will NEVER stay here again. I called the Hotel immediately and Hotels.com but the representative was unable to get my money back for me either. I guess Howard Johnson needs my $300 more than I do...
