Comfortable stay, the only thing that was missing is a microwave, other than that clean and comfortable

The big huge guy Jo is so rude, they just got a microwave put In the hotel I was trying to feed my son and he would not let me use it. He is always so lazy every time I stay there and ask him for anything. Jason, tu, Jeff and Jesus are all the absolute best and go beyond to help. read more

I was working from my firm's Downtown SD office, and had to stay in the area on a Sunday night. The rates for downtown hotels were atrocious (I learned later that this is a July 4th week thing!) so I looked outside of downtown. This was the first reasonably priced hotel without terrifying reviews or someone's bed bug bites for the first photo. No pool, breakfast, concierge, etc. but it gets the job done, solid 3 stars. I appreciated that they didn't charge extra for parking or any resort fees. The room was clean and had a small closet, table, and minifridge. The air conditioner was powerful and the water was hot and had good pressure. The only annoyances I had were that the sheets smelled faintly of cigarette smoke, and there wasn't any water available (the vending machines were all sold out) and nowhere nearby to get water. I was placed in room 206, which was right next to the elevator and vending machines. I could hear drinks falling from the machines and people talking throughout the night, so I didn't get the best sleep. Just after 6AM, a man pounded on my door. I saw through the peephole that he was carrying a plain brown paper bag and looking around and at his phone. I yelled "who is it?" a few times but he didn't reply, and knocked once more. He could have been a food delivery person with the wrong room, but if he wasn't identifying himself, no way in hell was I opening the door. I called the front desk and the attendant offered to come up and look around. He did, but the man had left. I appreciated the quick response and that I could reach a real person. Overall I was grateful for a place to sleep that didn't cost $600 a night, and the service was friendly, professional and responsive. read more

Stayed there a month ago and it was great except for front desk person super high and giggling through check in. That's no big deal. A month later I stay with them again. This time there were ants all over the room, on the dresser and even in the bed! I notified the front desk and got a new room. The new room also had some ants, but nowhere near as bad. I dealt with it for the night. Checkout time is 11am. It was 5 till 11 and housekeeping starts pounding on the door. I told them I would be out in a minute. She gives me attitude and leaves. 1059 and she is pounding on the door again. This time I take my time and leave a few minutes after 11. I notify the front desk of the issue and I get told "well checkout is 11." I understand that so why is she pounding on the door before then, then treating me like crap? Not coming back again and I don't recommend them to anyone! read more

My sister was in the hospital at UCSD so I was looking for a good clean safe hotel at a reasonable rate. This one definitely fit the bill, and honestly above and beyond. The front desk staff during the day was exemplary. I came in at 4 AM to extend my stay and I found that person awake and helpful also. I was extending 2 to 3 days at a time and every time they accommodated me and kept me in my same room. The public areas always smell freshly cleaned and they have a nice lobby was sitting in space, which unfortunately I never used. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. It is within walking distance of several good restaurants. It met my needs and I was very grateful. It has a TV that gets numerous channels and a small refrigerator and coffee maker. No microwave. I would 100% recommend this hotel. read more

I stayed here one night -- Saturday night. I checked in, dropped my backpack in the room, then went to see my son. I should have looked closely at the room then but I didn't. The room had been cleaned but very poorly. I'll add pictures so you can see the snot on the wall by the sink, blood on the bathroom door, and pubic hairs on the back of the shower...before I took a shower. Dirty room. I will not stay here again. Yuck. read more

Their customer service was excellent and when we had a water problem with our room, they immediately moved us to a new one. The area around the motel is clean and there is a decent amount of parking. The rooms are good and the housekeeping does a nice job. In my room (2 queens) there is a mini fridge and coffee machine, but no microwave. read more

Per reviews we decided to stay here as we passed through. I will say we were not disappointed. Everything was very clean and you could tell they were taking extra precautions for covid. The room was clean and the front desk had very good safety measures. We enjoyed the way the rooms were put together and the little binder that was in the room for easy access to services. You could hear the road but it was not terrible. My children slept through it just fine. One problem we had was the door was hard to close but we notified the desk when we left to be fixed. Hot water, clean beds and nice people so I'd say it was a win for a last minute stop and stay. read more

Didn't really sleep because there's no air circulation. Lock on bathroom window is broken so I had to use a wooden rod to keep it shut. I wish I could have used the wooden rod to keep main window open but break in proof. Fan provided did not suffice. read more

No microwaves, no breakfast, no pool, no laundry room... no problem. This has to be one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The staff and service more than make up for the amenities the hotel lacks. The housekeepers are on top of their stuff. Jesus and everyone at the front desk are holding it down 24/7. The staff has a way of making you feel welcome and relaxed. Pleasant Inn, a fitting name for this hotel. Decent daily rates. Everything else you need is within walking distance or less than a half mile radius. Most definitely recommend! read more

We stayed 1 night in this hotel yesterday and for the price I paid for the room was well worth it. The room was clean. Everything worked and Parking was a breeze. The shower had excellent pressure and it had a tub too for those who prefer baths. It is centrally located that finding a place to eat was not a problem at all. Free breakfast was included in the booking. No 5 stars because the bed just didn't measure up for me. It squeaks and the pillows were lumpy. read more

Customer service was super good. Only down side was the room. First night got in already found fruit fly's everywhere and always had to keep everything in the fridge. read more

Thank you so much for the kind regards and friendliness to care of me and my belongings while I was having a challenging week. I appreciate it very much. The room is clean and comfy and the staff absolutely professional and approachable. read more

Bed is comfy, room is clean. My only complaint is that we lost water pressure right before we had to checkout and couldn't flush the toilet. They get to find that surprise ‍ read more

Our stay here was better than expected! The lobby and the rooms smelled clean, the beds and pillows were comfy, and the shower pressure was good. Our room was in the back, 2nd floor, no street noise, and plenty of parking near our room. The people up front gave us a good recommendation for the Mediterranean restaurant next door (Alladin) which we appreciated. I gave 4 stars because the price was high; $286 for one night! Too much for a no frills motel with no pool, and the maid opened our door to clean it at 10:15am when check out was at 11:00. read more

The room was ok. Decent size. But, the mattress was old, kept squeaking every time we turned. (Very annoying) We mistakenly forgot our soap so we figured the hotel has some. NOT. They did have a dispenser in the shower (with NO soap in it) So, There was only the tiny hand soap. AND the guest around the hotel were horrible outside fussing and cussing half the night the people above us was running, jumping wrestling. It just wasn't a good stay over all.... read more

Worst hotel in HISTORY!!!!!!!!!! Sh*t Stain on the sheets is enough said. But I'll keep going... The bed was super uncomfortable, once I sat on it I immediately sunk in the middle. Before I decided to unpack, I wanted to shower after a long day. I pulled a towel off the rack, I noticed there was a long hair in between the towel. As I pull it out, it ended up being a HUGE chunk of hair matted on the towel. We called the front desk ASAP. They moved us to another room a few hours later. It wasn't as horrible as the first but still wasn't what I expected. OH BTW..... No MICROWAVES ????!!!! Ugh!!! I could've stayed @ the Super 8. read more

Pleasant Inn - Hotels Near Me - San Diego, California

Homeless people everywhere, doesn't accommodate late check out, and the walls are so paper thin you hear everything from the street to the people coughing outside your window. Had do not disturb sign on door and house keeping still knocked and banged into every wall. Wouldn't recommend to anyone read more

Stayed one night st the hotel. Had come for a college UCSD tour. Cheapest option around UCSD (12-15 min from UCSD). Extremely friendly and energetic front desk. Breakfast (cereal egg bread scone waffle yogurt fruits juices and coffee) - nothing fancy but decent. Lady at breakfast hall kept the place super clean. Close to freeway but surprisingly was not bothered by it. This is not a Hilton or a Sheraton, so definitely you can not compare decors or amenities but is it worth the $$ you pay for. Definitely; I would definitely stay again. read more

Stayed here last December with my best friend. The room was clean, had fridge but no microwave. Easy check-in and check-out. Lots of parking in the back. Not much choices for breakfast though. The area is on a main road so places to eat, do grocery, gas is accessible. read more

WARNING when exciting the 805 north EXIT SLOWLY it's a quick right and to avoid someone rear ending you just stay slow it's less than 100 ft to the drive in off the offramp. And the parking really sucks because the cars are so close together all around. It was good for last minute and cheap deal. Staff was ok, room was ok, air conditioner is loud and kinda dutifully. Our bedding smelled like chlorine and they don't even have a pool so I'm not sure why and the bathroom door would get stuck when you can actually close it. A friend tried getting a room and they told him it would be $200 a night which is NOT worth it we paid $130 and I feel that was over priced for three conditions. But it's not in the ghetto and it's room so it was fine was fine for one night definitely wouldn't want to stay more than one night. read more

Room was small but very clean. The bed was also comfortable but wished the blankets were comforters instead of thin. Overall for the price, it was well worth it read more

Layout: Motel Style, room doors looking out to street, 3-floors. Parking: Very tight spacing, tight to back out and in. Breakfast: Free, Continental- OK, gets crowded at the counter, not well organized. Does not have an appeal of a dining room, it just made up an empty space just because. Menu looks like a Yogurt, self make waffles, toast, hard boiled eggs, package oatmeal, package coffee off a coffee machine. ( no complaint, just info if you are looking for a hearty breakfast) Location: right on the street, with traffic noise. Next to Korean BBQ restaurant (good if you like Korean food), and to other Grill restaurants. Walmart, Starbucks in a short driving distance. Right on Highway. CheckIN: $150 Deposit hold. Clerk did not have name tag, no appeal at all. Check in process was quick since we were the only ones at the counter at a moment. Stay: When you walk in to your "new" room you would smell the soapy "Lysol" cleaner type smell they spray on carpet. Very vivid sharp odor if you have a breathing issues. I noticed they do that with each room cleaning every time. Bathroom water pressure was good. Towels are "old", seen better days. We stayed for 4 nights. They missed to tend a room for 1 day indicating that there was "do not disturb sign" which we did not put out, but we did not argue. Summary: Good ok place if you have to be on budget. read more

I stayed here overnight.I was extremely pleased with the customer service of the staff. Very nice, professional and helpful. I was very impressed with the room.Nicely decorated clean and the bed was Oooooo comfortable. I enjoyed my stay the only issue I had was the tv kept blinking off and on but overall I would definitely stay again read more

More of a motel. We walked in and the room smelled like cleaning products, which I suppose is better than it not smelling clean. Beds were comfy enough. Bathroom was like a closet. Glad it came with a fridge. Didn't get to try their complimentary breakfast. My friends and I needed a place to rest our heads for the evening. The pleasant inn did the trick. It's also really close to some good asian food. Another plus. Employees were nice enough, although I only interacted with them upon check-in and check out. Not swayed in either direction for this one. If you're looking for a simple place to crash then this is your place. read more

Based on prior reviews, I booked 3 nights. When I got there, I found a few minutes to property on a major highway, so the noise was going to b a problem. Looking around the lot, I saw several "street people" milling around. Entering the lobby, I found a place decorated like a "flop house". I booked another hotel for about the same $, just a little further away. I'll eat the additional booking cost; it's not worth it to sleep in a seedy place surrounded by people I wouldn't have inside my house. read more

Checked in and the room was not serviced. *Dirty sheets *Coffee stirrers on the floor *Pillow cases had makeup stains and dirt on them *Floor was not vacuumed The front desk apologized and stated they must of been busy? UMMM, too busy to just clean up but put the time in to make it LOOK clean? I was moved to ANOTHER room and the sink did not drain properly, and the spackle on the shower was cracking. The walls were thin and the other people next were loud and until 3 a.m. No one ever came by to deal with the noise. DO NOT STAY HERE. read more

This was a great hotel close to freeway and everything in San Diego! Close to shops and food places. Room was normal size. Beds were very comfortable with lots of squishy pillows which made me very comfortable! We slept great! There was always hot water in the shower and a nice stream no matter what time it was. There's a fridge and coffee maker in the room and a great selection for free breakfast every day. (Carpet was dirty so that's why they lost a star, but w always wear socks or shoes in hotels anyways and there's no microwave). There's a quaint outside seating area that's beautiful and shaded for smoking or coffee. Overall, we would definitely stay here again! read more

My boyfriend and I traveled here to look at apartments for the day. The front desk Jesus was very kind and got us a room by 11am since we called ahead and asked if it was possible. Super friendly! The hotel isn't all fancy on the outside, and for the cheap price we did not know what to expect, we just needed it for the night. However, the room was very nice for what we paid. Jesus upgraded us to a king, free of charge. The shower was a little old and the tile was cracking (no big deal). Definitely recommend it if you aren't picky about hotels. The free breakfast had waffles, cereal, coffee, muffins, etc. A lot more than I expected. My ONLY complaint was after our long day of house shopping, we were back at 5pm watching TV (Mean Girls because it's awesome) and got a call from the front desk to turn down our tv!! I felt like this was very immature for someone to complain at 5PM about our 30volume TV! It really left us in not the best mood. 5pm is the new quiet time? We were on the 3rd floor so it was like someone called and complained and then then front desk telephoned us to turn it down? It was like a RA in dorms! I was very disappointed about this and am not sure if I would return because I am not sure if I want to have someone telling us what volume we can listen to on the TV. read more

Priced right for what you get. Room was clean and basic. Breakfast was make your own waffles and toast. Yogurt was in store bought containers with granola, marshmallow, cranberries toppings. Make your own oatmeal from store bought packets. Apples and oranges and two kinds of juice. Traffic was noisy in the front. We had a room in the back. We could still hear the traffic but not as bad. Tons of really good restaurants within walking distance. Plenty of parking. read more

I needed a hotel not too far from my sisters college for her graduation. I booked my room about a week in advance and was only staying for one night. When I arrived they told me they ran out of rooms for what I booked so they upgraded me to a double queen room. This was one of the worst hotels I have stayed in mainly because I didn't sleep all night. The walls are extremely thin, and I could here my neighbors hooking up all night, and also the road outside is so busy and you can hear the traffic at all hours. What I really disliked were the pillows. They were half the size of a normal pillow, and you just couldn't sleep on them so I ended up sleeping without pillows at all. Please save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Spent two nights here and have mixed things to say. Near major road and quite a lot of street noise can be heard in the room. Asked to possibly change rooms after I was unhappy with the street noise. The front desk person was rude and pretended the hotel was full and that there were no other rooms. Our toilet ran on and off throughout the night. Floors in the room were not well cleaned. Hotel staff and housekeeping were not taking any covid precautions, no masks and no clothes. I can't recommend this place and would not stay here again. read more

For a 3 star hotel, I had a very good stay. It was affordable, friendly staff, and the rooms were very clean!! The moment I walked in the room, 2 things I noticed, the rooms were expected for a 3 star hotel, small, no luxury items for sure but I also noticed how clean it smelled and looked. The biggest con was that I could hear the cars on the road from my room. But it was consistent swishing so it was like white noise to me, except when motorcycles came by. The greatest pro for me (besides the price of the room) was the free breakfast! All you can eat and a good variety of choices. The breakfast room was extremely clean and tidy. All you eat coffee, orange juice, cereal, fresh fruit, fresh baked waffles...I was very pleasantly surprised (no pun intended). Overall, I enjoyed my stay and I would recommend this hotel. read more

Stay here every month on our trip thru San Diego. Jesus is so nice and accommodating even calls us by name. Such a great deal plus waffles for breakfast. Rooms clean, coffee maker and fridge. read more

Do not stay here !!!!unless you want to pay extra money to fix your neck and back !!!! I usually don't write bad review so person like me writing this bad review is really really bad! 1. Dirty towels!! R they insulting the guests? How dare they have nerve to hang used has foot steps on towels for next guest to use???? 2. Dirty and uncleaned bathroom nasty nasty 3. You can smell cigarettes smoking outside 4. Pillows are too high usually other place offer high and low ones to accommodate different needs 5. Old sunken bed your back will go out 6. Dirty carpet dark dirty stain I couldn't sleep at all it was not a pleasant stay!!!! I complained on the paper they provide in the room and the staff next day but nothing they can do about my neck and back I had to go acupuncture the next day for treatment. Others are stated yeah it's decent for the price u pay I DONT THINK SO!!! SAVE YOUR NECK AND BACK AND GIVE YOURSELF A LITTLE MORE RESPECT AND PAY LITTLE MORE AND STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE SO YOU CAN SLEEP BETTER!!! YOU DESERVE IT!!!! I REMEMBER STAYING AT MOTEL 6 LONG AGO AND I TELL YOU THAY WAS BETTER THAN THIS NASTY PLACE read more

I had my parents over for a week, and was trying to get more reasonable hotels than the ones farther and $$$ for so-so quality, and found this hidden gem! The room is super clean I can smell the cleanliness, the bed is clean and soft, the bathroom is clean, and when we asked them to move the room to the quieter corner, they were given a room backside away from the main street. Breakfast included, people are nice, easy reservation. And the price is like half from the ones down the street!! I would definitely recommend to other family members who will visit us. Thank you for your hospitality!! read more

This is the second time I've stayed here. This time for a week. The location is north of San Diego maybe 8ish(?) miles just off the 805. It's on a main street so I take a room at the back third floor. I think the rooms are nicely done. No micro but a small fridge. Bed was comfy as well as the pillows. Bath and toilet in a smaller space with sink vanity just outside that area. There is some traffic noise from the freeway but that was not an issue for me. People noise bothers me more but again not an issue this trip (and not an issue my first time here). There are many restaurants nearby, a Vons a mile or so away in a shopping area. It's a short drive to Mission Bay Park. The check in was friendly and quick. The free breakfast is carb loaded but choices of waffles, toast, cereal, yogurt, pastries, hard boiled eggs, juice, tea and coffee. I'd stay here again. read more

Stayed for two nights, Friday and Saturday. Room was a good price, clean, and pretty basic. It had an air conditioner, refrigerator, small single cup coffee maker, closet with ironing board/iron, hairdryer, shower/tub, queen bed, table with 2 chairs, dresser, TV, a side table on each side of the bed with lamps. Did NOT have microwave unfortunately. The room was a little stuffy without the A/C on all the time. Parking wasn't bad, the front lot is small but they have more in the back and some covered parking. I was actually able to get the same covered parking space my whole stay. Room was located on 2nd floor almost about check-in lobby so we didn't get much freeway noise. Continental breakfast was good, they had fruit, cereal, pastries, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, waffles, toast, English muffins, coffee and juice. Attendants always kept the breakfast area clean and stocked. Korean BBQ restaurant to the left of the hotel and then a Cuban and Mediterranean restaurant are to the right of the hotel. Overall not a bad place for the price and it's right off the freeway so easy access. About 10-15 minutes from downtown San Diego. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and comfy beds. There are mini-fridges and flat screen TVs in the rooms. Also comes with a free breakfast with waffles, cereal, strudels, etc. read more

Worth the price. Relatively cheap, yet extremely clean and the staff was friendly. Only complaint is there was a wasp infestation in one of the vents outside when we arrived after check in, but by that night they had already finished dealing with it. I just wish we were warned or put on a different floor as they were near the stairs. read more
