Western Inn

One star is giving it my best. We had a filthy room. It was over priced and porely staffed. The person that was supposed to clean the room must not have understood the word clean. It was 11:00 am and she was at the room next to ours, we left and came back at 4:00pm to get ready for dinner and she was at the room past ours so we were thinking it was clean, wrong. When we called down to the desk he told us the manager would be back in 30 minutes. She never got back to us and we tried several times. When we got home we called again only to find out the manager was a man not a woman and so far it’s 4 days and no call back. I don’t believe in pore management or lying to customers So you won’t have to deal with the problem. Yes there were two beds. It was not clean. There was no breakfast and we are unhappy. Our trip was not the best due to this issue. Don’t do it, go to a well known place for a bit more.

I guess you can’t even give a half star on Unilocal,this hotel was the most disgusting I’ve ever stayed in. The sad part is the check in lady was really friendly. And the front desk area was neat and clean. The pictures on their website is false leading as the floor and walls were not even close to the room I was In and completely disgusting. This is not what I expected for $ 125. Would’ve paid the $ 40 more to stay at la Quinta.

WORST hotel I have been to EVER! I’ve stayed at some crap hotels due to work and travel. I booked a room here for a king suite. The bath tub was FILTHY. I called the for someone to come clean it and the LAZY guy who came told me «I can’t clean it, it’s the sticky stuff from the floor mats». I physically cleaned it in front of him and told him «really, it’s not that hard I just cleaned it with the tip of my finger». This guy proceeded to scrub the bath for 2 minutes and then told me he would be right back. When he came back he used some STRONG chemical cleaner to clean the tub. It literally engulfed the ENTIRE room with a chemical. I then called to change rooms. The guy at the desk told me he had no more kings but 2 queens but in order for me to move rooms he would have to CHARGE ME $ 10 a night for the extra cost. I lost my marbles! I booked through expedia and changed my reservations. THANK YOU EXPEDIA! PLEASE DO NOT GET A ROOM HERE!!!

This place is completely AWFUL and HORRIBLE! NEVER book a room here!!! Never bring your kids here! Here’s why. The room smelled very old and bad, towels, and bed sheets were dirty, bathroom was filthy. I get it it’s a two star hotel but it gets even worse. Upon departing we had forgotten a brown leopard blanket and a tshirt on the bed, we were in a rush to leave and forgot these two items. My boyfriend called the next day to try and attain these items back and spoke to an Indian man on the phone who works at the front desk. The man on the phone was very rude and stated that my boyfriend needed to pay him 20 $ an hour to look for his stuff and accused my boyfriend of threatening him when he wasn’t! Look all we want is our blanket and tshirt back, I’m sure it’s on the bed where we left it. But this this guy kept saying rude and obnoxious things and trying to pick a fight with my boyfriend. This place deserves a ZERO! And the guy at the front desk will have some bad karma coming to him!

This new years I had one of the most pleasant stay is in a hotel I ever had stated before every single one of my hotel keys will be dis activated by the time I will come back to get back into my room and I would have to go get anyone was not stocked with towels and was absolutely dirty has me checking out when I got home I realized I left a couple items in there when I called the hotel talk to the manager he gave me nothing but a really bad attitude and told me that my items were not left there so I came to the assumption that one of their house keepers stolen it because it was not in anyone’s bag that was staying in our room the management at this hotel is absolutely horrible and don’t care about any of your customers I would never recommend anyone to stay at this hotel as long as they live is the worst worst hotel on the face of the planet

Double queen room was a good size and the fridge and micro were a plus. The best part of the stay was meeting Sue at the front desk. She was awesome!

Quiet, comfy and 3 blocks to old town. Friendly staff and very affordable.

Not happy with this hotel. A bit of a dump is an understatement. We tried getting into a different hotel but couldn’t because of a military graduation. The bathtub was disgusting, the mattress was dirty, the bed rails had filth and garbage in them, killed numerous bugs and the floor had multiple stains of something undiagnosed. Old is fine but disgusting is not.

Found a cockroach waiting for us in the bathroom, moldy smell in the room, forgot to live us towels, bathroom worn out, the continental breakfast was a joke they don’t even have a sitting area. If your car is small, parking is doable.

The room was really not clean — previous guests’ hair in the tub and on the floor, makeup on the towels, dirty carpet, various substances on the walls. Just gross.
At least the staff was pleasant and friendly, and gave us a small discount at checkout for the issues with the room, so one extra star for that.
But the rooms really need some work and much, much better cleaning.

Location great. Clean quiet room. Off-​street parking ($ 8) is no problem if you know how to drive, plenty of free parking on the street. Clean quiet room. Walkways could use some cleaning. Patio filthy. Room lighting and outlets setup are retarded. Room mismatched furniture thrift quality that doesn’t fit in room with antique tv. I believe the maintenance man learned everything he knows from DIY tv.

It’s ok for a one night stay. It’s good but not that great. The parking is too tight.

The one review below saying it was an ok hotel to avoid DUI is correct the hotel was not full but I am assuming since I booked on Hotwire was placed in the dirtiest loudest room 380 beware mold in tile dirty sink dirty carpet and evidently the only ice machine located right across from my door only stay in a bind and not more than a night

Not bad for the price but the hotel needs to be renovated. It has that old hotel smell, the bedding needs upgrading, needs new carpeting. Just an overall makeover. I’ve paid the same price for a better hotel. I won’t be staying here again. I love the restaurants in Old Town but that’s where it ends.

Room cost $ 160. Went to check in to find the place roach infested! Manager wasn’t on sight so refund wasn’t an option. Room was booked through
so they will be the one to get refund from. Had to find a room elsewhere. This is horrible and disgusting!

I’ve got to say the nay-​no. There are other, basically equivalent, choices in the immediate area. I chose this hotel over a Motel 6 because it was $ 10 more/​night but included a continental breakfast. 2 queen beds. Family of five (10 yrs, 3 yrs, 8 mos). There was enough room for us, the muffins are just enough to get us going out the door (that, and a tiny bowl of cold cereal n OJ, meh). Coffee was atrocious. Our beds were sunken in, but the sheets were clean. There was a hole in the wall above the door! Literally — a hole in the wall! Cleaned, tried, but worn out bathroom. Strange. Old all over. But hey… we were just laying our heads at night, spent one day/​eve in OB, one day at the Chargers game. Um… inexperienced is the word, I think, for. the staff? But nice, friendly. So. It worked. But I’ll choose differently next time.

Like everyone in here has said, the location is great, close to all the restaurants, minutes from sea world, and MCRD San Diego, but that’s where it ends for me, parking is crammed checked in with my family and as soon as I walked in the room I noticed a musty smell but I overlooked it, then noticed the bathroom floors were sticky and there was rust/​grime stains all over the tub, one of the beds had a broken leg, upon informing management they did a quick fix but made it uncomfortable the rest of the night. If it was just me I would tuff it out I’ve stayed in worse, but throw kids in the loop and it’s a no no
Hotel looks great, surrounding area is great, but not impressed with the room

Seriously the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in! It’s more like the motel 6, but even that place is more clean. There was dust everywhere! Even the top of the blow dryer had a layer of dust on it. The sheets did not feel clean. It felt like there was crumbs in the bed. Horrible mattress also. House keeping should really pay attention to detail and keep these rooms clean. Never staying here again.

So I got a room here on hotwire and while I was expecting budget, I was expecting a bit more than this place had to offer…
The issues:
*The bathroom had mildew in the grout!
*The plugs were all operated by the light switch
*The parking spaces were barely wide enough to park.
*The main entrance was the only egress I could take. The other one I tried and scraped horribly and knew I would be high centered if I had tried to get out that way.
*One of the towels was covered with grease, mascara, or something else black and yucky!
*The bathroom floor was sticky.
Normally I dont list things like this. But as a bed alone this place was ok. The other items made this place a completely disappointing stay. Thank heavens I didnt stay for more than 1 night.
PRO TIP: They do charge for parking. However it has in/​out privileges and is only $ 6 per night.
The location was extremely convenient. I enjoy old town, the gas lamp, sea world, ocean beach and mission bay/​beach. These places were all just a couple of minutes away at most.
The hotel did have free wireless internet and a free continental breakfast (juice, carbs and fruits between 7am-​9am).
So, so long as you get a completely clean room, this would be an ok place to stay.

The Boy and I have stayed here several times. We love visiting Old Town, and because we really love margaritas and really don’t love driving after drinking, we have found ourselves booking a room here on three separate occasions.
Each trip was quite different. Service was friendly every time, so at least that was a positive consistency. On our first stay, we loved our room. I suppose I should preface this with the fact that, based on price and other reviews, our expectations were pretty darn low. The first room we stayed in was great for the $ 54 price – big room, working TV and remote, clean bathroom. No complaints. The second room was at the opposite end of the spectrum, however. It was truly abysmal. An obviously major leak in the bathroom above ours had resulted in a two-​foot-​wide hole right over our toilet, which provided a constant stream of water dripping into an enormous puddle right at our feet. Why would they even rent out this room?!
The last time we stayed here, our room was somewhere in between. The bathroom had some hair and trash still left in the toilet, and was really hard to find in the labyrinthine hallways, but was otherwise perfectly acceptable.
This is a positively no-​frills motel, surrounded by much nicer options (La Quinta, Courtyard at Marriott, Best Western). I recommend this for the late-​night, avoid-​a-​DUI, place-​to-​crash crowd.
