Luis who made our breakfast each morning is great! and we enjoyed our morning waffles, especially on the patio. Everything is super clean and works well. The location is wonderful; we walked everywhere. Didn't need a car ever. The beds and pillows are excellent quality. All the staff are friendly and easy to find as needed.
The sheets didn't quite fit, a little too small so they did not stay in place throughout the night. I'm like the Princess and the Pea. Having the mattress pad wad up and the cover sheet slipping off is not my favorite. But the pillows and the mattress were excellent. Just need deeper pocket sheets or better fitting cover sheets.

Staff were friendly and professional.
This hotel is in a great location close to Old Town and freeways. The rooms are basic. No closet or even a coat hanger to hang up clothes. Not even towel racks. You had to leave towels next to sink. We had reserved four nights and they upgraded us to a suite at a reasonable cost. The basic room was just too stark. Clean but stark.

The location was perfect walking distance to Old Town, only cost $11 to get to Downtown's Gaslamp quarters, where all the night life is. Friendly and helpful staff in a safe environment. Clean rooms & patio, with access to amenities such as first aide and refreshments (for purchase) in Lobby. Breakfast was decent (cereals, toast, juices, and freshly made waffels. Just lacking a protein) But We will definitely be staying there again and recommending it to family and friends.
Parking stalls too tight, making it hard to open your door or for larger vehicles. And breakfast could use some proteins such as eggs, yogurts, bacon, or sausages. Not a continental breakfast (not that they claimed it was, just saying).

Location. Convenient walk to heart of Old Town San Diego activities: food, shopping etc. Also, optional covered parking garage structure ($) or park in street. Older structure ( “ Old Town “!!) but we were pleasantly & gratefully surprised that the rooms had been renovated to high quality standard, aesthetically, efficient and hygienic !! As the desk clerk noted, however, not all of the rooms had yet to be renovated with new bed mattresses — like ours. Due to being glad that the total renovation ambience was more than we anticipated, we barely noticed it, especially for a one night visit for “ Dia De Los Muertos” memorial festival.
Would like to’ve enjoyed a new mattress !

The location was great as long as you don't mind walking as we where right at the outskirts of old town sate park. We took the trolley from old town station whenever we left to go anywhere and the busses afterwards, We bought the Pronto Card, great value for any metro trip. We also took the flyer from the airport. Room was very clean and the staff at the front disk was very friendly.
The breakfast was very disappointing. Don't bother paying for it unless it's included as part of the price.

I liked that it was very close to downtown which was the location that I wanted to learn more about. The location was awesome.
Unfortunately the water was way too hot in the shower. I told the staff in the front office twice about the temperature in the water. They said that someone went to fix the problem after we left the room. When I got back I wanted to shower again but I didn't want to waste water trying to regulate the water so I can shower. I almost burn myself to try to shower. Besides the water situation, all was good.

Funky location, but we found it!

The hotel is two or three blocks from the main street of San Diego's Old Town and a couple more blocks to the Old Town light rail ("trolley") station. I found the location super convenient as I did not want to stay downtown. I had an extra large room and suspect it had been converted from other uses so I cannot fairly comment on what the average rooms are like.

I've been staying at the Western Inn for years. The people who work there are wonderful, the place is clean and comfortable, Old Town is always great, and the trolley is an easy walk. A big thumbs up for everyone, and I'll see you next time.
Nada.

Perfect location. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet and extremely comfortable room and bed. Excellent parking too. I am definitely going to miss the water pressure in the shower when I'm home!! This is a great place to stay. Pro tip: the Marriott next door has a little Bistro offering tasty bites and happy hour.
