Best Western San Diego/Miramar Hotel

There’s not much around this particular hotel as we were staying in the top gun area of Miramar California. We picked this location specifically because we could get to many different sites in a relatively quick period of time due to the proximity of the hotel to the various freeways in Southern California. I am very much like the best Western. They had a lovely pool. The breakfast was quite extensive offerings and many of those offerings were hot. The staff was really wonderful. They were all very friendly and sweet and helpful. We chose an end room that had an extra window which really made a wonderful difference cause the windows open and we could get fresh air. Room 345 was particularly large and had two queen beds. There’s not much to walk around as the area is mostly industrial but it’s next to several different gas stations and you could get on Highway 15 immediately if this is the type of property you’re looking for I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a walkable area this is not it. You might want to stay in downtown San Diego or closer to the beach if that’s your thing.

Everything was great!

Easy to find and get to.

Unsafe, Dirty, and Not Worth It My stay at the Best Western Miramar was a nightmare. The hotel itself is run-down, dirty, and poorly maintained. The carpets were stained, the bathroom smelled bad, and the overall condition of the room felt neglected. What really made me uncomfortable was the environment around the hotel. There seemed to be people hanging around who were clearly not guests, and the place felt unsafe. I saw suspicious activity in the parking lot at night, and I later heard about car break-ins happening there. It honestly felt like the hotel was attracting drug users and shady characters. I did not feel safe leaving my vehicle outside, and walking back to my room after dark was unsettling. On top of that, the staff did nothing to reassure me or address the security concerns. For the price they charge, this hotel is absolutely not worth it. Between the lack of cleanliness, poor service, and unsafe atmosphere, I would highly recommend staying elsewhere.

This is a place to stay for a comfortable bed, hot shower, (they have the small travel size toiletries, so bring your own), and it’s generally quiet. Literally, a right turn onto the I-15 freeway, but you don’t hear any of the freeway traffic. It’s in a convenient location with plenty of restaurants nearby including the Little India plaza with great Indian food. Carl’s Jr. right next door for a quick bite to eat and gas station right on the corner. I stay here regularly. Easy parking too.

I love the place easy parking

It’s clean, comfortable, convenient, and quiet. I stay here regularly.

Room was filthy. Hairballs everywhere.

It was what we needed for our trip. A place to sleep and shower. Beds were comfy, bathroom was exceptional. Parking lot got full pretty quick at the end of the day but wasn't hard to find parking. A lot of blue collars working out of town here. Breakfast was good, they have different stuff everyday, and the kitchen staff was very attentive. Always making sure there was enough food out and stocked. If you need an inexpensive place to stay for a few nights, I would recommend this place.

Good

Buen servicio y ayuda en todo! El desayuno excelente!

Great breakfast with a variety of choices. Staff were courteous and attentive to details.

Asked to have room service every day for clean towels and to have the beds made. It never happened

Breakfast was enjoyable, but the seating was very limited. If you don't arrive early, you may have to eat while standing up. The entrance road was congested with construction vehicles, making it difficult to enter or exit. Parking was satisfactory. The staff who checked us in were great. However, the toilet seat was quite small, and our room had an unpleasant smell, although the air conditioning worked well.

Excellent

There was no hot water had to take called showers. Smelled like swamp water in room. Had to ask for are room to be clean. Phone did not work and very loud at night

Loved the clean surroundings. Wish the area were more walkable—more green spaces

Drove in and the area was not the best. On a busy street that people drive like a highway. A room door was open so I peeked in and it did not look clean. Rug was dirty. Went in to ask about check in but already had a weird feeling about the area and safety. The young man at the front desk was rude. I called expedia right away and asked to look into a different hotel. Bottom line the Hotel charged me one night and refunded the extra 2 nights. Was out $190 for peeking in a dirty room and it was early when we arrived. To early for check in. If you have children this is definitely not the place to stay.

Breakfast was hot and plentiful, but a bit bland. The hot mini-waffles were a nice bonus. Beds were comfy. Buggest issue was with the condition of the carpets was aweful. My room smelled like dog pee. I think they need to instill a policy of having designated dog friendly rooms so that the pet lovers who are used to pet odors can stay in those rooms and those of us who aren't can avoid it. The door of my room was so hard to open that we had to hip check it to get in and slam to close after. We complained about the smell and door and were moved.... but the next room had the same issue with the door.

A simple night's stay. It was fine. The parking lot is pretty small and it was hard to park. Fortunately, we have a handicap placard and there was one handicap spot. It didn't seem that there was air conditioning. Fortunately it was not needed.
