Quality Inn San Diego I-5 Naval Base

Cleanliness, Fluffy pillows and an comfortable bed are my number one priority when choosing lodging. Great coffee is an added bonus. This place is also extremely QUIET.

I should preface this review with the fact that I have worked in the hotel and hospitality business for close to 30 years. I am a bit of a hotel snob, so to be staying in a motel freaked me out a little. The reviews on this hotel were all over the place, so that also had me on edge a bit. It would appear from reading the reviews that perhaps only a portion of their sleeping rooms have been renovated .
I can honestly say that our room was clean, nicely decorated, and the bedding was extremely clean with crisp white sheets and double sheeted. It was by no means the Ritz Carlton but we were only looking for a clean place to lay our head for one night. I would stay here again no hesitation .
Room price for a Thursday night king non-​smoking room was $ 85 including taxes.

Our stay at this hotel was beyond disappointing, and the way the issues were dealt with were even worse.
Our toilet was basically unusable (would not flush, and we tried everything to try and get this thing to work)
We kindly called the front desk to ask if they would fix it or if we could get changed but their response was and I quote «the maintenance is gone for the night, do you really need it» as in do we really need a functioning toilet! Um yes females poop too!!!
He offered a plunger which he couldn’t even bring up because he was the only one at the front desk (a staffing problem not his). So there we having to pick up our own plunger to be able to use the restroom!
If that wasn’t enough of a hassle the restroom door had the lock on the opposite site of the door. So you can’t lock it if need to, but the people outside can lock you in the restroom if they pleased.
But being the glass have full type we tried to Look past it (and plugged our little hearts out)
So when we went to check out we mentioned the inconvenience (hoping to receive discount) but to our surprise the man at the front desk was really rude and said we couldn’t receive a discount because we had already used the «non functioning» toilet.
Ps the free breakfast sucked as well. So please do yourself a favor and stay else where!

Booked a room here from
. The room was just under $ 100 for two queen beds, non-​smoking room. You get what you pay for. The room was somewhat clean. Found a few hairs in the bathroom and lint in the bed sheets. There was a fly in the room that did not want to leave. The person working at the front desk/​reception was unprofessional. He was sitting on the couch talking on the phone when we went to check in and only stood behind the counter to help us once we arrived. This inn was in a bad location, hiding right behind a gas station. I wouldn’t want to come here again.

My husband and I stayed here for ten days and it honestly isn’t as bad as it looks. It looks like they have upgraded most of the rooms and are still in progress right now. They have had their floors cleaned this week. The service ladies are really nice! The bedspread isn’t upgraded, but the sheets and pillows are really soft and comfy and they also have a down comforter that comes with it. There is always hot water and the bathtubs are a good size. There isn’t a lot of restaurants around the area, but there is a lot of pizza deliveries within the area. The TV is nice and they have good channels! We never had a problem with any neighbors. Breakfast is fine and usually the busiest on Sundays. The ac is perfect! We really liked Mr. Patel! He is always greeting with a smile and he seems to take care of his hotel! It may not be a five star hotel, but I think you get more than what you would expect out of it. I suggest staying here if you can’t afford anything more!

Got this hotel last minute as the whole city was booked. .hotel is decent at best, comparable to a motel for triple the price. The breakfast room fits 16 people and there were like at 100% occupation. On top of that, they only had one waffle machine… guess what all the kids wanted on a Sunday morning. …waffles!!! Caos is a mild word to describe this «hot» breakfast. Also, Beds were really hard, and rooms small. On a positive note, the front desk person, his name was Mario was very attentive and cordial.

Hotel rooms stinks… Night crew Javier is a slob there was no parking spots but yet some moron took two spots i asked him wtf ?!? He said sorry Calls the cops or toe truck I can’t do nothing about it! Don’t stay at this place don’t waste your money your better off staying in your car !!

If possible avoid this location. Unsafe location, old beat up rooms, poor service. Let me elaborate on the poor service. I had booked a 13 night stay, after the first and only night I checked out. However they had already pre charged my government card and held up +$ 800 dollars which cause my card to be rejected when I attempted to secure a room elsewhere, they refused to call and release the $ 800 funds saying it would just do it automatically in a few days… Doing me no favors and leaving me with a problem. Additionally, there is nothing but a gas station in walking distance. If there is ANY positive to the location is located at the I-​5 ramp and a 2 minute drive to the Naval base on 32^nd street.

I would say it’s a decent place. Would I recommend it probably not because I wouldn’t again. The room was fine, needs updates. The updates they did are sloppy. New curtains are a must. They don’t have privacy curtains so if you some light but don’t want people looking in you can’t do. The bathroom is completely tiled. Very nice. The area isn’t the best, the freeway is right in front of hotel and behind it. You here all the noise. And to get onto the 5 freeway is s nightmare.

Beware of who stays on this property. During my last visit with family on Feb.14−15, 2015. A large group of bikers were on property speeding, double parking, revving, and playing loud music throughout the day and into the morning.
I am very disappointed that management did not have the courtesy to call the police to put these disrespectful people on check!
A strict set of rules and guidelines must be in place for all guest. Especially when it comes to noise and loitering.

Wasn’t the best, no wifi even tho they say there is It doesn’t work or it’s very very slow breakfast was just a small piece of bread and juice.

Not too bad. Comfortable room. Not too small. Room has small fridge & microwave & coffee pot. Nice size flat screen tv. Good value place. Oh, not too bad of complimentary breakfast area. Would recommend an over night or a few days stay, but nothing more than that.

Decent hotel! Questionable area but the room itself was clean, the bed was soft, and complimentary breakfast included sausage eggs and hot pancakes. Free wifi too. HBO and cable included! Shower was roomy and water pressure was strong.
I stayed during Memorial Day Weekend, but I would not stay here on a regular uneventful weekend. The area surrounding the hotel is pretty bad, I saw a few prostitutes nearby. I stayed with a group and luckily we stayed during a weekend where all rooms were booked so we felt pretty safe with so many people around us.
Eddi the front desk attendant was AMAZING! Wonderful customer service he really did make the place feel homey.
Place is right off the 5 so it gets pretty noisy.

Clean
Friendly
Reasonably Priced
Great Breakfast
Convenient Location to SD hotspots
Comfy Beds
Seems Newly Remodeled

The room my wife and had was recently remodeled. It is clean. There are never enough outlets for my wife’s curlers, flat iron, etc. There was only the one GFI in the sink/​vanity area, and it worked for some appliances and not for others. A hot breakfast was served, which my wife liked except for the pre-​cooked sunny side up eggs (tasted «fake»). I judge my morning at hotels by coffee and shower. Costco bag can coffee was served. The towel are thin. With some many people stealing, who can blame the owner of the hotel for using small, thin bath towels. There is nothing for one to walk to… this is a park and drive location. The hotel is an easy 10 minute drive from San Diego’s Gaslamp district, where one will find 100+ eateries. Wifi is available, however, I never got my iPhone 4S to connect.
If you are ok driving to places, and do not care about about the coffee you have in the morning, I recommend you stay here for the price.

Decent hotel… beds were comfortable enough and it is only a 10 minute drive away from the Gas Lamp district of downtown San Diego where all the fun spots are at. Breakfast came with my room deal that I bought online and they serve until 9:30 AM. There was a decent selection of breakfast items but the room it was in was tiny.
The only reason I rated it low was because of the quality of individuals this location seemed to attract. A lot of ghetto and unsavory characters especially this one scumbag who seemed to enjoy bumping his music as loud as possible in the parking lot inducing me into a mindless rage. Thankfully the hotel worker behind the desk came out and stopped him before I lost it and destroyed his soul.

Decent hotel with remodeled rooms,
Pros: clean rooms, granite bathrooms, microwave, fridge, coffee in room. Great breakfast (cereals, eggs, sausages, waffles, juice), decent fitness room, centrally located to US Naval Base and National City.
Cons: kind of a «dicey» area, close to I-​5 (you can hear the freeway).
