With this motel you get what you pay for but I wouldn't suggest it for anyone travelling alone although the entrances are gated and they have a secruity person on duty after 11pm. The customer service both on the phone and at check in needs a lot of improvement. Its a good place to stay for a night or 2... More

This property is a great value if you stay in San Diego on a budget. The property grounds are meticulously maintained and the rooms are clean with comfy beds. They have old fashioned keys to each room and the entrances are gated. Staff is accommodating and let us check in at 09:30 instead of the 3:00 normally required d/t an... More

Just completed a five night stay at California Suites, a very clean and comfortable room. It had a stove top however, no pots, utensils, etc nor were they promised. It also had a refridgerator. We were in room 1204 with two twin beds, flat screen t.v a/c and I purchased the hi speed internet for $20 for the five nights.... More

The hotel is located right next to I-805 and very convenient for anyone visiting Seaworld or Mission Beach. However, we faced a whole suit of issues from the time we checked in: 1. The rooms initially assigned were singles when we had clearly requested doubles. We had to be reassigned to other rooms and they were not adjacent but one... More

It isn't any sort of great hotel, but it is a good value for the prices. It's a bit old and the tenants and neighborhood can feel a bit sketchy. There is usually something or another wrong, like a TV remote or a light or an air conditioner. But I had no major issues in two stays, the clientele has... More

I was looking for a place to simply lay my head to rest in the Clairemont/Kearny Mesa area in San Diego and made a couple of lodging searches online for an affordable but clean establishment. California Suites was by far the only place in the area that met both criteria. Although there were also some critical comments about unkempt rooms,... More
