Worst place to stay on a vacation with family!!

Reviewed By 863saranyat

A big NO to staying in this place if you planning to have a good vacation with your family. Stayed here last weekend 2 nights with family. The amenities included Air-conditioning but during check in we were told that the AC ain't working in the whole hotel and they asked us to keep the windows open for air. Later on checking reviews only came to know that they have been saying the same to all the customers for more than a month. Such a scam.. The room was smelly. We reserved room for 2 adults and 2 kids including our infant. They provided BF pass only for 2 and on enforcing only were able to get for my 6y old kid. The breakfast was below average with very limited options and was very bland. I regret booking at this hotel and am never staying in any Wyndham hotels every again

Bad Customer Service

Reviewed By JayAnneM

we checked in here before new year's and came in at around 2:20pm we didn't know that their check in time is at 3pm and the lady in the counter was like 'No i cannot check you in, it's at 3pm" with that pointer finger wiggling! ? no apologies, no excuses, no valid reason why she can't check us in early so we waited in the lobby.. and so 3 more guests came in 5 minutes later and four families were all waiting in the lobby and she finally decided to check us in?!?! And i asked her why she changed her mind and decided to check us in anyway before 3pm? "It's policy" she said. wth!!! i can totally see even behind her mask that she doesn't want to be working there that day.. they were renovating the fourth floor, with paint odor, electric cords everywhere and machine works in the background and that is where this lady gave us our room, in the fourth floor!?! when we were in the room, their tv was not working so we went down to ask her for help and said "ill send someone" and turned around right away! i don't see any manners for this person she shouldn't be in the front talking with people..

Hotel was nice for what you pay for. Centrally located. 10 mins to the Zoo, Harbor, Midway Museum, and Balboa park. Check in and out was easy. No parking issues. Room was as expected. Microwave and mini fridge in the room. Ironing board but no iron. No Coffee maker in the room but, do have it in the mornings at front desk along of assorted cinnamon rolls. All and All. Worth what we paid for and would stay again.

This hotel is breaking the law and false advertising. I’m in the San Diego area for a few months and decided to stay at the studio 6 in National City being that they advertise it being a EXTENDED STAY HOTEL. Well on my 26th day there I was told I needed to check out because nobody can stay longer than 28 days. After doing some research it’s illegal per California code 1940.1 for hotels/motels to make customers leave at 28 days and recheck in so they can circumvent somebody getting tenant rights and no longer having to pay tax on their stay. You can’t advertise being a extended stay and equipped for people to be there for longer stays and then tell them at 28 days you have to vacate. Also you can use the laundry room at their location either. Rude staff! After illegal being asked to leave I asked for a late check out because I couldn’t check into the new hotel until 3 and they charged me 20 bucks a hour for a maximum of 2 hours and still made me 2 hours before I could check in elsewhere!!!! All because this company wants to have shady illegal business practices!!! Go elsewhere if you can.

So disgusting

Reviewed By Mona1704

Our room seems clean st first. But the refrigerator was really dirty and also the bathtub. After laying in bed for around 20 minutes everything started itch. My husband got red dots all over his body. On the first evening it smells like a weedshop when you open your "hotelroom" and everywhere where "ladys" which hasn't enough money for clothes but they have many male friends... you know what I mean. We checked out after two days even though we've booked 6 days. The only answer that we got was "no refunds" Never ever coming back again.
