"Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Service and Comfort!!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Excellent Stay!! I had an amazing stay at the hotel from July 10–12. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and taken care of throughout my visit. The room was incredibly spacious, spotless, and filled with thoughtful amenities that made my stay extra comfortable. From the luxurious bedding to the well-stocked bathroom and in-room coffee station, everything exceeded my expectations. The area is great! So many things to do being so close to downtown and old-town San Diego. I can’t wait to come back—truly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had!

"Very pleasant stay at Western Inn"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 07, 2025 NEW
We live 2.5 hours away so this place was perfect for our overnight stay visiting the area. The room was very clean, and the beds were cozy for us as a family of 4. The bathroom was also nice. The gentlemen that were working the front desk at check-in/check-out were very helpful and informative about our stay. The hotel is within walking distance (about 10 mins) to Old Town San Diego, so it was very convenient being able to head over there for dinner at Casa de Reyes after checking in that evening. Our stay also included the free continental breakfast, however we had reservations at another restaurant. The hotel location itself is within good distance of all main areas when visiting San Diego.

The room was very big and clean, a mini suite!! They have great amenities as well. The free breakfast wasn’t anything to write home about, they made Belgian waffles but you have to wait in a line,but hey, free is free. Walking distance to everything in old town and the freeway.

Nice, quiet area close to the freeway. Check in was easy and fast. I was even allowed an early check in. I was surprised to see the couch stitched in several places due to a tare or cut. Otherwise, the room was great,very comfortable...and breakfast too!
