"Quirky place. Lots of nice amenities and is clean. Overall I would recommend but for my particular use, I found it very loud on the weekend. Both nights people were partying, there was a high pitched squealing noise that went on for hours below my room, doors were slamming, people were arriving late. If you have early mornings I wouldn't recommend this place, especially on weekends! "

Comfort Inn Sea World Area

Comfort Inn Sea World Area

10/10 Excellent
"This is a great Motel. Spacious rooms. Very clean, comfy beds. Great showers. Off street parking with a security guard at night. Close to shops, takeaways, even a couple of good restaurants, Target, Ralphs etc all within walking distance. Includes breakfast with your stay. It has a gym, reverse osmosis water machine and laundry onsite. Wonderful, helpful and very courteous staff. Even a grassy area out back for the kids to sit in the sun. The price is right, and plus it's about 10 or 15 minutes from the Airport. What's not to like? For the last 2 years this has been my number 1 choice to stay in San Diego."
