Harborview Inn & Suites San Diego Harbor

There was a cockroach at bathroom

I like the hotel, quiet safe and it’s new year for everything and there is a and there employee her name Gigi she’s the best

Parking lot has ~20 spaces, the property has ~40 rooms. The parking lot is one-way, no outlet, meaning you have to back out of it onto a one-way street to get out. If no parking when you get back, nearby private lot is $35 for 10 hours. The elevator is 4’x4’, and the stairs are for emergency use only. Requested a room with one queen bed, got two double beds. Did not hang “do not disturb” sign on door, but room was not cleaned during 2-night stay.

Perfect location

Nice

this is a nice hotel. ab it old, a bit motel-style. a bit dirty (not crazy dirty), this is a cheap option for those who want to stay in downtown in a walkable distance to bars/restaurants/station/ocean. so, recomended.

I’ve stayed here many many times over years. Great location. If you’re looking for something that’s a five minute uber ride to and from the airport. There’s a convenient seven11 less than a block away. There’s several restaurants that are a few minutes walk from the property. The property sits in a hill and when you exit there’s a really nice view looking down towards the harbor and Coronado across the harbor. I should warn anyone reading this that it’s very noisy (not the guests) . The planes flight path to the airport runs along side the property and the freeway is less than a block behind the building. There is a parking lot for guest with no charge. It’s first come first serve. Most hotels in the area charge $50 a night or street parking, which is metered til late afternoon. The building is an older wooden building with squeeky floors and a tiny elevator. It smells old. They do a great job at keeping it clean. But keep in mind, it’s very budget friendly. So you get what you pay for. Not necessarily in a bad way. The staff is friendly. There’s a middle aged woman that works the later shift who is just an awesome lady. Great personality and so friendly. Ive had the pleasure of being checked in by her several times in the past.

The staff was so polite and kind I really appreciated their hospitality it was really refreshing. The only things I have to comment on is the safety of the property one of the doors of the hotel does not fully close and anyone without a hotel key can enter and it made me feel unsafe. And the parking was also an issue there’s not much space to park, often times we had to park outside of the hotel lot.

Bed and billows not comfortable

The manager let people that were not staying there park their cars and customers were left with no parking spaces. I stayed there becuase I was told parking was available for custo ers. Had to cut my vacation short because of laxk of safe parking for my car.

Good value.

The area was nice to be around and the room was decent. However, the restroom was not the best (crusty shower head and faucet) The hallways and the building were very dingy.

The staff was nice except during my check out it took 10 minutes for someone to show up. I also did not realize there was coffee in the lobby until then. In general this is a no frills hotel. Parking was not good. You had to drive backwards out of the lot because it was too small to turn around in. Airplane noise and noise of garbage trucks was bad. Other places might have the same issue. They need to invest in new windows and doors to block the noise. Tv was roku only. You would need to log into your own steaming service. Maybe in this age that’s not so bad. Nothing on tv anyhow. There was a fridge and microwave. No coffee in room. No breakfast. Towels were old. Overall the place felt like it needed an upgrade. Location was excellent for walking to restaurants and maybe a mile to Midway museum. 10-15 minute walk to sailing ship museum. Internet was good but sometimes the Roku would buffer and freeze. My iPhone worked fine. If this is one of the cheaper priced hotels then it was acceptable. I felt I paid a lot though. If I went to this area again I would pay a little more for better parking. If I had to pay a lot more then I would be willing to stay here again.

So i got invited to comic con. So arrived in town early and was able to get an early check in at 2pm. Wonderful. I was parked out front in the 30 minute loading zone on the street and able to unload R2D2 and my items easily. No problems yet. The elevator was tiny, but it worked and served it's purpose. Still good. The door handle for the room only works when pulled up, took a few tries to figure it out. Good. Room seems to be recently updated. New tv microwave and toilet. Nice. Finding a red x on the first towel I used was a bit confusing and then finding one on the sheet too was concerning after looking at other towels with no x on them. The AC worked well but the cover had a big hole.in it. There were a few small holes in the tiles and one big one by the desk that looked like it was attempted to be repaired. The sinknwater pressure was good, the shower not so much. The beds seemed new and were firm. Good. Parking was an interesting experience. The lot is only big enough for maybe 14 cars but after waiting for a while i grabbed a spot on the end of the lot near the street. I left my car there Friday night and Saturday while i was at the con. I came back Saturday and found notification that i was going to be towed. I went to the office and got that canceled as I was supposed to have been given a parking pass when checked in but never was. So luckily it was settled by the great night shift person. It was near the airport but i didn't hear planes in the room.

Perfect place to stay for San Diego Comic Con

It was a beautiful hotel will definitely be back soon.

Negatives: There was a cockroach in our room. There were bodily fluid/stains on towels. The towels felt like sandpaper, the beds were uncomfortable. There are a lot of homeless in the area. A homeless man was screaming profanities very loudly until around 2am, so it was very difficult to sleep. Airplane noise is loud overhead - this hotel is close to the airport. The hotel is older, and it did not feel clean; especially after the bug situation. We checked out early. The parking lot is tiny and difficult to park in. If anyone has mobility issues, this hotel will be very difficult to get from parking lot to the lobby and to your room. The elevator is tiny and does not fit more than 2 people at a time. It would be difficult to enter the elevator if anyone has a wheelchair or scooter. Avoid if you have mobility issues. Positives: the location is close to many restaurants that are in walking distance. It is within walking distance to the harbor. The room price is budget friendly. The staff who work at the hotel are really nice and very helpful. Excellent staff. I would never stay here again and would not recommend this hotel. To anyone.

Nice frontdesk and provide us one more parking area.

Parking is tight, bed was hard, found two bugs... but decent AC and hot water turned on reasonably fast.

I was traveling with my disabled mother and her room was not ready for hours after the posted check in time. She needed to plug in her oxygen concentrator but she had no room. It was a disaster
