Best Western Golden Triangle Inn

If you are sensitive to fumes and smells, our experience with 2 rooms would suggest you look elsewhere.
We moved from our first room to a second hoping we’d acclimate to the less intense deodorant smell in the second room, but we never could. My wife was sitting in a chair with the door open for an hour+ before we decided it was an unlivable situation and had to bail.
We are not princesses that need a royal suite by any stretch of the imagination — we’ve stayed in some pretty dumpy places — but this one we just couldn’t hold out.
The internet was pretty unbearable too, but it did hold out long enough for us to hot wire a pretty nice boutique hotel in del mar instead.

Would recommend staying here if you’re looking for something on a budget. The only issue i had was that i had booked my hotel online around 7:30pm for that night, i arrived at around 10pm and there was an issue finding my reservation. I had pulled up my confirmation code on my phone and the man spent some time trying to find it. He was extremely sincere in his apologies about the inconvenience and made the rest of the check in process an ease.
Our room was very nice, we had asked for a smoking room and got a room with an extra window facing the street. Everything was very clean and very nice, we missed the breakfast in the morning but were able to watch the Thanksgiving parade in bed before checkout! Thank you very much!

It’s better to stay away from this place. I had a horrible time here: zero customer service, stench of smoke creeping into my room, bad plumbing, etc. In spite of that, a courtesy email to the owner of the establishment informing him of the issues evokes no response.

Complimentary breakfast in the mornings, not anything special but at least it’s free. Staff here are super friendly, cheerful, and accommodating. Clean rooms, fresh sheets, comfortable stay. Obviously not a four star hotel or anything but definitely a good value for your money. Half of the bed was also broken, might want to replace it.
Would still stay here again

First off like many others have said great price, very cheap. Some other pro’s include access right off the freeway (only way it could be closer is if the freeway was right on top of it), next to many other important spots (within a mile of walmart, chevron, performance bikes, etc.), great continental breakfast when compared to La Quinta, etc. We had the exercise room right next store to our room so that worked out pretty well. Room was nice sized, clean. Staff was nice as long as you’re following the «Golden Rule.» This place was convenient for my purpose on this trip and I would stay here again.

Convenient — right off the 805 Freeway. Front desk staff was not very friendly. Attitude as if they were doing us a favor. The 1^st room we checked into had a broken lock on the window, so they put us in another room. The new room was larger which we appreciated.
The room was clean but the bath fixtures had rust. Smelled of deodorizer. The smoke detector was missing from the ceiling, just a hole with some wires hanging out. 2 sets of towels were provided. The bed was fairly comfortable. We checked the mattress for little cittters but didn’t see any.
Free breakfast — area was a decent size. Hot waffles, assorted pastries, bread, some fruit. Whole and 2% milk available (no skim). Had a juice machine — OJ was bitter and watered down, (yuck!) and the mixed juice (mango, OJ, passion fruit) was just very watery and basically just sugar with little flavor. Coffee was meh.
Slow internet. Parking can be tight.
A budget hotel — Nothing special.

Not the best hotel out there. Comfy room but internet is very slow & breakfast has barely any variety of food. Good for a cheap stay only.

This motel has a good location and no pests. Fairly clean and good amount of professionalism. Small parking lot and you have to cross a pretty main road to get anywhere by foot. Further, driving here can be a hassle durring rush hour, but its a really good price for this clean of a hotel. The staff didn’t heed my request I placed when booking (to not tuck in my sheets) but the staff did listen when i left a note on the bed (to not make the bed). So batting .500 is pretty good really.
Would recommend for anyone on a budget. Though side note, I was terrified of the elevator. Still, nice stairs. Also, free wifi. noice!

Excellent stay, overall! We arrived late at night to find the staff cheery and helpful. We were a little concerned to find the distance to be farther from base than anticipated however, the location was well worth the drive. The parking and hallway leave something to be desired. Though, the room was comfortable and spacious. The bedding was clean and soft and my husband and I slept far better than in weeks.
Overall, an excellent stay. ⁹⁄₁₀ would visit again.

For the price range, I can’t complain. Gym is decent and bed is pretty comfortable. Despite previous reviews, I have no concerns about itching all the body. Body feels A-​OK.

Staff was over accommodating for us… Originally didn’t have non smoking in their sold out for the weekends hotel, using our points for our first night stay, but managed to some how once we got there get us into a non smoking room after all… We didn’t have to change rooms either since we were using points for only one of our nights… Chris was extremely nice and helpful on the phone making the reservation and once we got to the hotel… As was the rest of the staff, even the nice young woman who was new… The hotel was nice, and clean… I’ve worked for Best Western at Corporate, so I know a good Hotel and a Bad Hotel, this one, Is a GOOD hotel… Thanks for making our stay nice and convenient…

I would not stay at this motel the person at the front desk is very rude. We had paid for the rooms on line; however because we use a triple A discount the motel didn’t charge us but only put a hold for the room. No where on the website does it explain this. When we arrive instead of explaining this to us he got rude and tried to blame us for the confusion.

Staff seems friendly.
Room is neat and clean.
A/​C unit was a bit noisy.
Speaking of noisy, we are across the freeway from the Miramar Marine Core Air Station, and they are active tonight with helicopters and roaring jets every minute!
I suspect this is an anomaly since nobody else has mentioned it.
I am hoping they don’t fly all night long. :-(

Preis-​Leistungsverhältnis absolut Ok. Sauberes und ruhiges Zimmer und freundliches Hotelpersonal. Schnelles und kostenloses WLAN sowie LAN in der Lobby. Frühstück standard, nicht der Hit aber auch nicht schlecht.
Negativ ist klar die Lage. Viele Inns tummeln sich in der Gegend, ist aber fernab von Schuss. Ohne Auto geht es nirgends hin, ausser zum Imbiss um die Ecke.

You get what you pay for. It’s in a convenient location right off the highway. Clean enough rooms. Free breakfast. What I was most frustrated with was race my shower never would stay on a consistent temp. Overall just your average hotel.

Booked a room for one night for myself and friends during a trip to SD and I have to say that I was slightly disappointed with my stay here. I’ve read positive reviews from other Unilocalers, however I received a different feel about this place.
First off, when I walked in to check in for the afternoon, the lady at the front desk lacked professionalism in not only her speech tone but also mannerism. I had booked my room a couple weeks in advance, however she informed me that she couldn’t find my name in the reservation system or something along those lines. That sent up a red flag of worry, but they were able to find us a room. Phew.
Our room was a double queen bedroom with a sink and tub/​shower and toilet. Overall, the space was modest and comfortable for someone who just wants a place to spend the night. The beds and pillows were comfortable, however I was a bit disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathroom.
I did not get a chance to take a picture, but I found a dried up carcass of a maggot-​like bug at the corner of the bathroom. It was absolutely disgusting. But other than that, I was not really pleased with the customer service.
As for parking, there are spaces available in the front and the back. There is a complimentary breakfast available from 6:30 — 9:30 am that consists of boiled eggs, waffles, danishes, cereal, and oatmeal. Sorry, there’s no bacon or scrambled eggs. The hotel also offers free Wi-​fi, which is a plus.
Will I come here again? Probably not. Seeing a maggot-​like bug in the bathroom is very off-​putting.

bugs crawling！itching all the body! The bed is not clean! Never book this hotel again!

I was impressed with what I go for the price, in a good way. If you want to pay cash though, they ask for another 100 $ deposit. So I would suggest a card.
The woman we checked in with was polite, no complaints. The location of the joint is immediately off the 805 on the right, we missed it twice and had to do a U turn a few blocks down, go back past it, do another u turn a few more blocks down to get back on the right side of the road. It’s like right there, but I don’t know why the entrance seemed so hidden. So just be ready to turn lest ye want to twitch with minor rage.
Queen sized room with a very nice flat screen TV, nice bathroom, super comfy bed, etc. It wasn’t gigantic or a suite or anything but it was definitely comfortable and roomy. They also have a nice little sign to tell ya to just go through the lobby if you’d like to have a refill of toiletries, which we did because we forgot toothbrushes/​paste. They don’t carry paste but the toothbrushes they give you are self foaming. We weren’t told this. When we started to brush our teeth, we thought we were either given used brushes or we had contracted rabies. It was neither, apparently we are just very dramatic people.
I’ve heard they are currently renovating, new owner perhaps. They had a sign up apologizing for any noise but I didn’t hear anything construction related during my stay. Although speaking of noise, you are close enough to the airport that you do get a few planes going by every once and a while and of course the feedback from the interstate just a few blocks down.
Overall, it was a good stay. I’d go back for sure.

My first stay at a best western and it was a great experience!
Came here for a weekend stay in SD, booked online for the special web deal for a single room, queen sized bed non-​smoking.
We checked in around 8pm on Friday and our reservation was ready. I was afraid since the late check in time something bad would happen but it was fine. They charged my credit card there and gave us our keys.
The parking lot is fairly large and we never had problems finding spots.
We got the third floor room (Top floor) so we didn’t have to worry about noise and the only time I heard other people was when our neighbors would open and close the door I’d hear some creaking.
The room was spacious, with a/​c and a nice little table, sink, toilet and shower. Perfect for a couple on a budget and just looking for a place to sleep since I knew we’d be out for most of the day.
It’s also conveniently located RIGHT off the 805 so it was easy to get places.
The breakfast isn’t bad for being free, a waffle machine, yogurt, juices, coffee/​teas, oatmeal, muffins and some other pastries plus toast and hard boiled eggs. I think it’s from 6:30 am — 9:30 am but even at 9:20am it wasn’t that crowded and we were able to get our food quickly without fear it would run out.
I would definitely suggest it for those on a budget and wanting a convenient place to stay while in San Diego and with a free breakfast you can’t complain :)

Stayed here for a night just on a random SD trip to visit some friends. Right off the freeway, a big plus! The rooms were nice, average size, 2 doubles, very clean. Bathroom was a little small, but you can’t really expect much from a motel. Paid about $ 90 bucks for a Friday night (seems kinda pricey in retrospect, probably should have done more research). Staff was super friendly though, another big plus! It’s a little far from downtown SD and the main attractions but not terrible. Came with a complimentary breakfast (toaster waffles, cups of yogurt, juice/​coffee, cereal, pastries, fruit, oatmeal) from 6:30−9am, they kept it well stocked even at 8:30 when I went so get your money’s worth!
TLDR: decent and very clean, free bfast, kinda pricey (Motel 6 right next door is probably better priced w/​o the breakfast) but not a bad option

I stayed here on a recent trip to SD to visit my grandma in the hospital. I wasn’t really sure what to expect on my stay here. I thought that it had to be better than a Motel 6 but that was about it.
Room: fairly normal sized, 2 queen beds, nice square table with 2 chairs, heater, section to hang clothes, tv on a drawer. Only issue is the heater is pretty sensitive, so if you accidentally turn it on too high, you may be very warm all night long (like me) and get no sleep.
Bathroom: much larger than expected, I was actually really impressed with the size of this bathroom. I didn’t feel crammed at all, nice and spacious, more than enough for 2 people.
Service: the staff was really friendly, the 1 person I encountered during the complimentary continental breakfast from 6:30−9am. Very pleased with this. Although I’m still baffled how anyone could eat breakfast at such an early hour. There were eggo waffles, milk, orange juice, coffee (caffeinated and decaf), hard-​boiled eggs, toast, english muffins, and oatmeal! Quite an assortment of foods.
Overall: my experience was really good, and the room was very clean. No bugs, no dust, nothing gross or worrisome. I would definitely suggest this as a cheap option for a hotel if you need to stay anywhere from 1 – 4 nights!
