It was a mistake that I will not make anymore. They only have one clerk working the front desk. This place is a dump. They need... More

I had stayed at Americas Best Value Inn, during mid Feb 2012 as we had to attend an event at Convention Center. Rooms were neat an clean and well appointed. There was free wifi, fridge, microwave and for the price we payed it was indeed a best value. The owner of the hotel and his family was kind enough to... More

The staff were extrememly friendly and gave me a free upgrade to a larger room. The breakfast was very good, there is a guest... More

This was a last minute business trip, and my friends recommended hotels were full. I booked this hotel as it was fairly close to downtown. I was pleasantly suprised. The room was very clean, spacious, fast internet for work in the evenings. The young family that runs it was very nice and even invited me in for tea one evening.... More

San Diego is a nice place. My girl friend was excited to stay in this place with oversea visitors in late Oct. On the second day, one of them found many large bumps like mosquito bites on the upper body and arms. They didn't know what that were so they continued the stay. After my friend flied back, similar symptoms... More

Me and two friends stayed here for a convention. We were told it was in walking distance, but quickly decided that we would not be walking. There really isn't easy access to much unless u drive or take a cab. The rooms are old and dingy. Even though the maids seemed nice and came in each day. We had a... More

America's Best Value Inn at Downtown/Convention Center in San Diego has a good location - it is close to the Convention Center and other hotels where conferences are held. The rooms are neat and clean. The staff is polite and courteous.

Not in a great location...not near the convention centre or really anything. We walked back from the Pier...was a very long ways. Bus stops right out front and you can ride it all day for $1.50, so not a big deal. Hotel is ok, you get what you pay for. Lobby is small and smelled like pea! Really smelled like... More
