If you navigate the California Suites website, you conjure up a view of the lushly landscaped grounds, full of tropical flora, a sunny Mediterranean outdoor decor, a sparkling swimming pool, and clean, immaculate accomodations. Lounging in the pool doing an elementary backstroke, you'd get the same viewpoint . Notice I've mentioned "basic accomodations". Indeed the website and your pool view... more

I was traveling on a budget and I had a good deal for a two–day stay. The front desk was unhelpful and definitely not friendly at all. I asked for directions and for some restaurant suggestions, and the answers were "sorry, I don't have dinner out very often, so I can't recommend any restaurant in the area ". I asked... more

I stayed in this hotel thinking i was getting a good deal. I had also booked it months in advanced. When i spoke to them on the phone we had come to the agreement that i would be staying next to my families room. When I got there it was a different story!! My hotel was not close to theres.... more

This hotel looks very plain on the outside, (facing the boulevard) but once inside you are greeted by winding paths through well planted gardens with palm trees, flowers, a fountain and bougainvillea winding over the arches. There are benches here and there where you can enjoy the pretty setting. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms... more

We had to stay in San Diego, in the Clairemont area for a funeral, unfortunately last week. We booked this hotel because it was the lowest price and was close. I was worried that it would be loud, or unsafe (we have two boys) or dirty. I was VERY pleasantly surprised, however! It was very clean, nice and neat, and... more

My wife and I liked the prompt services and the hospitality extended to us by the staff. Our room was comfortable and clean. The free breakfast buffet was delicious and more than sufficient to keep us energized the whole day. Popular food joints and the major tourist spots such as Zoo, beaches, Sea world etc. were just a stone’s throw... more

Due to its convenient location, right in the heart of San Diego, I must say that staying at California Suites Hotel added to my memorable experience in the city. All the key attractions such as Zoo, Sea World, superb beaches etc. were a few minutes away from the hotel. Must say the overall set-up of the hotel was simply above... more

California Suites Hotel, where I stayed with my friends during our trip to San Diego was quite a surprise. Even though it was a budget hotel, the services were good. As the hotel is located right in the heart of the city, it became very convenient for us to visit all of San Diego’s famous places. more

Rooms are plain but clean and a faily good value for the money, But the customer service at the check in counter was a little strange. I travel for work and picked this hotel due to cost and location. Both were good but the experience I had upon check in was almost rude in nature. It was a little late... more

I recently had to find accommodations for my family members that showed up unexpectedtly . After passing the California Suites Hotel on a regular basis, I finally decided to stop and check out the establishment . To my surprise it had a delightful garden setting that most hotels do not offer and the staff there was one of many reasons... more
