San Diego Coast hotel guide. Hostelling International hotel in San Diego Coast, California

"The Lodge was beautifully kept up, the rooms were clean and roomy! The staff were all amazing, always smiling and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the late afternoon wine and snacks were great. We definetly loved our stay and will be returning. Craig and Rose Cumberland"

"The bed was like sleeping.on a rock. The king bed was a queen bed. You have to pay extra for maid service. The bathroom was tiny. Could barely close the door. The included breakfast included powered eggs and orange water. The soap, shampoo and conditioner plainly read Rosemary Geranium, but all were clearly lemon scented. Having paid a hefty price for the room they should do better. Resort fee of $40.00. In my opinion an unethical cash grab."

" It was beautiful place to stay!!!"

"Great"

"Wonderful staff, clean rooms, good bistro on premises, good location. We loved it."

"The hotel experience overall was excellent. The room was very clean and updated. Beds were comfortable. The breakfast options were also great and loved the fact that they offer it. But talk about location. I think it was the perfect location. It's within a walking distance to a grocery store (albeit it was on a more "expensive" side), to some shops, and to restaurants. At the end of that street is actually a park where there's a garden and walking path by the beach, over looking the city of San Diego. It feels quiet and safe enough that I walked with my kids in the early hours of the evening. The people were very nice and friendly. The staff were courteous and attentive at all times. It is close to the bridge and to everything else, really. As with any cities, watch out for the traffic times. As crossing the bridge could take you 10-15 mins on a good day, to being stuck there linger than you have to coz of rush hour, or evening traffic. So plan for those when going in and out of the city."

"Yes, everything was to my satisfaction "

"We got treated very bad "

"The pool area really needs a makeover because the cushions are frankly pretty gross. Also, they clearly do not have anyone tasked with cleaning up the litter, meaning empty plates and cups, on a frequent enough basis. Avoid the breakfast - it's a $60 per person mistake. Go instead to the cafe Eno, but be prepared to wait in line 20 minutes. Other than that, I must say the hotel is perfectly located and generally stylish and historically important to the area. They just need to try a little harder."
