Ideal location, good discounts



Nice and comfortable. A four night stay got us a decent discount on room rates. The swimming pool is warm and large. Breakfast menu was ordinary but more or less satisfactory. Must appreciate the staff for its help and assistance. The hotel is at a comfortable distance from the places you would love to see in San Diego but in terms of the location, its kinda lonely. Lovely flowers and plants around but the rooms are just too close together. So thumbs down for privacy. Overall would stay again on next visit. Will probably try their extended stay package.

Best low budget rates but there are few hitches



My buddies and I had an amazing time in San Diego. I was there in the last week of December and almost first week of January. We had stayed at California Suites Hotel. Now there are some good things and bad things about this hotel. Good thing is that it is very economical. The hotel offered attractive discounts on room rates which suited our limited budget. Plus, my friend had booked the room 10 days in advance, so we got additional discounts. Cable showed HBO channel. Though we hardly watched much of television. Continental breakfast was ok. However our rooms were small, albeit clean. Internet service was slow. And the staff is a bit slow again, don't respond fast to queries. Well, if are looking for a really budget hotel and if you can ignore the non-responsive nature of the staff, I think this hotel will suit you. P.S.- the outdoor swimming pool was really good!

Best rates but services slow



My budget was pretty low for a vacation in San Diego. Hence I was looking for an accommodation that would be just right – rock bottom in prices but good facilities. I picked California Suites Hotel only because it fit my budget. Frankly I did not like this hotel much. Gosh, the services, the staff was so slow. And there is nothing remarkable to write about complimentary breakfast. Sometimes I even had breakfast outside in nearby restaurants. But two things that did not disappointment me were the room rates and the swimming pool. I have been to a good many hotels now, but this hotel's got the best rates. No questions on that! Anyway from next time, if my budget allows I will go for a better hotel but if the budget's gonna be the same as this time, then I would opt for California Suites Hotel. Let's see!

Ok ok types budget hotel



Hotels play a important role in making your vacation better and comfortable. This time, on my vacation to San Diego I stayed at the California Suites Hotel which is a budget hotel. My expectations were not very high as it is a budget hotel. Nevertheless, the room I got was clean with a lovely view, though small and not very spacious. Room service was quite all right for the prices. This is not a 5 star hotel, so I could not complain much. I don't have complaints about the rooms or the service but I definitely have something to say about the complementary breakfast. It wasn't quite an sumptuous as the hotel promises and the bagels were often not fresh. Nevertheless, its a hotel definitely worth a try for its prices and location.

I don't enjoy vacations where I waste more time on commuting than on sightseeing. So this time on my San Diego vacation, I carefully researched and selected California Suites Hotel. The best part of this hotel is its location only for which I chose to stay here. Beaches and other major tourist areas were nearby. San Diego International Airport is also very near from the hotel. So no matter, wherever I went, commuting to any destination took very less time. But before you rush to book your stay here keep in mind that there is nothing fancy about this hotel. It is very basic and happily suited my budget. I was not very impressed with the services and didn't like the complementary breakfast that was provided to me. All in all, this hotel is good only for its location and affordable rates. If you are looking for a great price, then this is it!

Good location, close to beaches



I had a great time on my recent San Diego beach vacation with my friends. After a long time, my friends and I had taken out time from our busy schedules and had a fantastic time lazing around, playing volleyball and sailing at the sandy beaches. We wanted a hotel from where beaches are nearby so we had chosen California Suites Hotel. It is located in the middle of San Diego from where San Diego International Airport and the lovely beaches were just a stone's throw away. Besides the hotel provided the best possible rates. But other than its location and rates, don't expect too much from this place. The outdoor swimming pool was a relief. We got fresh fruits only once in our complementary breakfast. It is a good hotel considering the best rates it offers.

Basic budget hotel



I had gone with a bunch of my friends to San Diego. As recommended by one of my pals, we decided to stay at the California Suites Hotel. As this was a budget hotel, we weren't expecting much. Our room was very basic but well-furnished with microwave, refrigerator and stuff you need. Major reason for choosing this hotel was its prices which suited our budget. In fact, you can safely say this hotel provides the best rates among all the hotels we checked especially the hotels in Gaslamp Quarter (Gaslamp topped our things-to-do itinerary). Other good point about the hotel which we figured later was its location. Its very well placed from where Little Italy, beaches and of course my favorite Gaslamp Quarter were nearby. But yes, I want to warn visitors who are thinking of going to this hotel- staff is not very hospitable and rooms are very basic. So if you are comfortable with this and want to have good time on a limited budget then I think this hotel is the best price you can get.

Decent hotel for the rates you get



A trip to San Diego had been on the cards for a very long time, but the budget always posed a constraint. Accommodation in a good San Diego hotel costs a fair amount of money and so we were waiting to find the best rates. A friend suggested California Suites Hotel and we checked out the rates. Just the kind we were looking for. Now you can't expect the moon when you are looking for a bargain. But we were pleasantly surprised to see the complimentary breakfast, which was quite fresh, nothing lavish. Besides, they have a pretty big swimming pool, that was definitely a bonus. About the rest, we got decent rooms, nothing fancy, but ok. The staff was a little laid back, but that's not surprising in a budget hotel. One great thing about this hotel is its location, pitched right in the center of the city. So we could simply hop over to the San Diego's best tourist spots without spending a bomb on commute. All said and done, its a nice enough affordable hotel with the best rates, that offers some good discounts too! You get to have a good time well within your budget. Next time we go to San Diego, we plan to stay in this hotel again. I think that says it all!

On a recommendation of a friend, I had stayed in California Suites Hotel on my latest vacation to San Diego. Primary reason for staying in that hotel was its central location. Gaslamp Quarter, Old Town, beaches and other attractions which interest me were near the hotel. Besides the hotel offered good discounts on my stay. Although I had my inhibitions to stay in this hotel earlier, the hotel exceeded my expectations. The services were satisfactory and staff was good. It is not a very fancy, willy-frilly type of hotel but because of its prompt services, it is a good choice for budget travelers.

San Diego is a lively city which I enjoy thoroughly on every visit. Usually I end up spending most of my time on the beaches. But about two weeks back when I went to SD, I took some time off for visiting Balboa Park. I was also lucky to listen in to some great music at Mainly Mozart at Old Town, and roamed the streets of Old Town. Mercifully, my hotel – California Suites Hotel is centrally located so most of these San Diego sites are nearby. I didn't face any difficulty in commuting and the services at this hotel are great value for the prices they charge. Plus, I got some good discounts on my stay so I saved some more. Am wondering why I didn't see more of San Diego on my earlier visits.

Just back from San Diego after a week long stay there. This time I stayed at the California Suites Hotel. I liked this budget hotel for one particular reason- its location. During my stay there, San Diego Restaurant Week was going on. And from my hotel, most of the participating restaurants in different locations were nearby. One day I dined in Gaslamp Quarter, the other day in colorful Old Town, some day in beautiful La Jolla. Not even for once, did I face any difficulty in commuting. Due to its central location, I saved good deal of money on commuting. Even the San Diego International Airport was hardly 15 minutes away. Besides the hotel services were pretty satisfactory and the hotel rates were quite affordable.

We chose California Suites Hotel for our family vacation primarily because of its convenient location. But then we found that the hotel had much more to offer really. The kids had a great time on the lawns and in the pool. Bill, my husband was relieved to be able to check his mails and communicate with his office through the internet connection the hotel provided. And yes, the Sea World and Zoo and the beaches were just a few minutes away so we could take the kids there easily without wasting time travelling. All in all, a good experience. We are planning a family vacation to San Diego in December again, and I would definitely prefer staying here.

California Suites Hotel was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed myself thoroughly during my four day stay at the hotel. Apart from the cool, relaxing ambience, the food was a high point. The breakfast came free and that was an added benefit. To top it all, I got a 30% discount on my 4-day stay. The more the better!

It was a home like atmosphere in the California Suites Hotel. Since my son Rex is 8 year old, his stay in the hotel was free of cost. After touring San Diego all day, Rex was happy playing around in the warm swimming pool. That kept him busy and away from pranks! The staff members are really good with the kids. I would recommend this hotel to any family looking for a home like environment.

It was nice staying at California Suites Hotel. I can’t afford a five star hotel but this hotel was more than what I expected from a budget hotel. The rates were good, the services were prompt and satisfactory. My room was not swanky but it had all the amenities to make my stay comfortable. And since I had booked when their discount offers were on, I got a 20% off on my four day stay. The breakfast was complementary too so that was more money saved. This hotel will be my first choice whenever I visit San Diego again.

I have been working in the hospitality industry for the last two years. For me, generosity and the positive attitude of the hotel staff matters more than the location, design or furniture. I must say, I am quite impressed with the hospitality and sense of caring displayed by the staff of California Suites Hotel. Their prompt response to the needs of the guests is worth appreciating. Whether I wanted an extra towel or hot water in the night, I didn’t have to ask twice. Next time when I come to San Diego, undoubtedly I would like to stay here only.

My insurance job is so taxing that I hardly get time to relax. But in the calm environment of the California Suites Hotel, I could relax and connect with myself. The whole setting of the hotel was peaceful with beautiful tropical flowers and so much greenery all around to cheer me up. In fact, I spent most of the time in the hotel relaxing in the green surroundings or lazing around in the warm swimming pool. My room was well furnished with everything I would need to make myself feel comfortable. The pleasant experience has made me want to come over here again soon.

I had a great time in San Diego last month. And what added to the whole experience was my stay at the California Suites Hotel. In one word, I would say that the hotel was amazing. I am a foodie. So I loved the delicious breakfast the hotel provided and that too for free. The mouth-watering buffet had everything from cereals, fresh fruits, fruit spreads, Danish, muffins, bagels, juices, espresso, bread, cream cheese, and most importantly my favorite hot chocolate. Honestly, I ate so much there that I must have gained some extra pounds. Apart from food, I loved swimming in the large pool. Awesome time. I am looking forward to staying here again.

My kids had a gala time at the California Suites Hotel. In fact they liked to spend most of their time in the warm pool that I had to literally drag them out for a city tour. Despite the fact that my hubby was held back at home at the last moment because of some urgent work and I was taking care of the kids alone, I never felt insecure in the hotel.

The staff was friendly. They were really sweet and patient while dealing with my two naughty kids. They even suggested some really cool places to visit in San Diego. I plan to come here again with all of us this time and I know where I would like to stay - here!

I had gone to San Diego for a business trip and made my reservations in California Suites Hotel for just a couple of days stay. However, it turned out to be a unique experience which I haven’t had before in my rigorous sales career. When I reached the hotel, I found my jet lag had got worse and I had developed high fever. But the hotel staff made me feel completely at home. They arranged for a doctor and brought the medicines even though it was quite late in the night. I was frankly amazed at this hospitality and concern. These are little things that actually denote how sincere a hotel is towards making its guests feel comfortable.
