We booked this hotel with hotels.com when we arrived the woman rudely told us that they have no rooms available for us and that they overbooked the rooms. By the time we figured this out all the hotels were sold out. We didnt actually find and get into a room until 5am the next morning. They tried to book me into a horrible hotel for the same price i was paying at a nicer hotel. Then when i got there the hotel charge me another $100 early check-in rate. Hotels.com did nothig to compensate me for their error. I will be checking the reviews to make sure mine was posted.

Run !! Do not stay here. I rented a room yesterday and I left 10 mins in. The front desk person didn’t make me feel safe, his conversation was inappropriate. He also had given me a key to my room and when I grabbed my bags from my car and began to walk up stairs to my room he was already up there waiting on me and opened the door for me with his universal key, I didn’t ask for help, it was creepy, he gave me a corner room when I walked in the window was all the way open with no screen, there was burns on the furniture and bedding, it smelled terrible and the door hinge was loose, there was a lot of random people outside, people driving up, it’s obvious that many of these people were on drugs, I am not from the area and I was there with my cousin who was going to have surgery the following morning at a nearby hospital. I was there for 10 mins and my instincts kicked in to get the hell out of there, we didn’t feel safe!! I hope Expedia reads this review and gives me a refund.. I had to pay another $180 to stay at holiday inn. I also hope they take this hotel off there site as an option to stay, it’s not far to the people who are not familiar with the area to have to pay this money to stay at an unsafe hotel.

Fantastic welcome and information from my check-in fellow (SDSU grad student; Mahta?Max?). He was super helpful with pointing me around to some amenities as well as giving my daughter some inside info about SDSU. Thank you!
