Friendly staff and facility in good shape.

The Pleasant Inn is a bit older, but the staff has kept it in very good condition. Large room and comfortable bed. They are located very near to both the 805 and 163 freeways for convenience.

This place is ok. Everything was just ok, BUT the BED MATTRESS had to be very old or just a POS. It sagged terribly and I’m not overweight or heavy by any means. The linen/towels were old and skimpy as well. Could’ve had the same quality right next-door at Motel 6 for $50 a night less

wouldn’t stay again

The room was clean and had the minimum. Bed, tv, blowdrier and one tiny bar of soap. Tub filled while showering - no plug just extremely slow running drain. I could have been ok with that…however parking was awful. We came back to the hotel late. Spaces small so trucks took two, people parked crooked and did not pull fully into spaces blocking 6 spaces from being used. Front staff unconcerned about the problem. Tired and just wanted to go to bed. We register our cars. Don’t understand if someone is blocking six - eight spots why they can’t be asked to move or at least pull fully to the spot. Parking is a positive reason to book in San Diego but not if people can take additional spots and leave others blocked out.

Clean and Affordable

Checked all boxes I was looking for: clean, safe and affordable. So many area hotels are very expensive so the Pleasant Inn was a great find.

The room was spotless and comfortable, check in was a breeze and the front desk staff were 5 stars - so friendly and kind! Zero complaints. The area is not the best and parking is very difficult due to the spaces not being designed for full size vehicles. We managed though and everything you need is close by with easy access to the rest of the city.
