Much Better Than I Expected!
by TripAdvisor Member everglades_gal
I had a convention at the Town & Country Hotel in San Diego & just couldn't see spending $160/night for that run-down hotel. So I booked the Best Western, knowing that they were both in Hotel Circle but not knowing how close it would be. I wasn't thrilled about staying in a Best Western since I'm a Marriott gal, but for $69/night, I thought I'd give it a shot.
All in all, I'm very happy with my decision. First, the Best Western is about a 3-minute walk to the Town & Country Hotel, so the location was perfect for me. Right behind the Town & Country is a big mall with lots of good places to eat, including a California Pizza Kitchen & Cheesecake Factory. You can walk there in less than 10 minutes. In addition, you do have free shuttle service to major sights including Sea World, not to mention free airport pick up & drop off.
My room was fine - it was a king room with a big new TV. Yes, the sheets were thin, the dressers were a little old, but overall everything was very clean and everything worked fine. It wasn't luxury but it wasn't run down or dingy looking. The mirrors on the wall made the place seem bigger. The shower worked fine, as did the sink.
The hotel's landscaping is gorgeous, and the pool is really nice. I also enjoyed the hot tub. The restaurant was quick & convenient for breakfast. Also, I can't forget to mention the free high-speed internet connection in every room. My goodness, Marriott charges $10/night for this! It was really great to have.
Overall, this is a great place to stay if you are looking for a clean, better-than-decent hotel in Hotel Circle. If I had another conference at Town & Country, I certainly would be calling the Best Western Seven Seas!
Big bathroom, clean, wired internet

This is a great place if you are on a budget. The location is located near the Interstate 8 and easily spotted from the freeway. The setup of the loding is two storied guestrooms facing the parking lot.
The staff was helpful in helping us resolve some reservation issues. The bathroom was huge, but it was kinda waste of space since there was only one sink and one mirror. The TV was 27" and easy on the eye to watch. the internet is wired, and accessible from the bed. there was a lot of electric outlets beneath the table by the TV for my digital camera, laptop, electric shaver, etc. There is also a small fridge to refrigerate beverages, but it was unplugged. It took several hours before the beverages was cool enough to use.
The full size bed was big enough to be shared by two people. We had 4 people in the room and everyone slept comfortably. It was a good room for the price. I would try to stay again next time I'm in SD.
better than expected

We stayed in this hotel for 1 week in April 06. The hotel room was small but very clean and comfortable. The facilities are excellent and the staff very helpful. The location gives easy access to shops and tourist attractions. I'd definitely recommend a stay if you're looking for a budget priced hotel or have a young family as it's very child friendly.
customer service/housekeeping
by A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at the hotel for 3 days. I would never stay there again. A travel agent made my reservation. If I would have made the reseravation I would have left. The first night I stayed I went to take a shower and found hairs in the drain and then couldn't turn off the water. I't took someone 20 mins. to come and turn off the water.
customer service is terrible.
Good Value and Clean
by TripAdvisor Member Rick767
Stayed here because of TripAdvisor research. It was during a busy Memorial Day weekend. Costs per room were high here and every other hotel. The check in was very good. The room was very good and clean. The local cafe was useful and friendly. No noisy or rude neighbors. Freeway is close and loud but not too much once indoors. Room had a little refrigerator. TV worked well. Lights in bathroom needed replacing. Beds and floors were clean. Room is a little tight in space but not unusual. Great location to tourist areas if you have your own auto. I would stay here again.
Does what it says on the tin
by TripAdvisor Member shelly2202
Typical Best Western, ideally placed - near all major attractions and feet away from the main freeway. Room quite small - would suggest if you ask for 2 beds the room may be a little larger. Nothing special, there are hotels on the same road that look more appealling.
Adequate only
by A TripAdvisor Member
The motel is located in the south hotel circle and is easy to get to by cab. Staff was helpful and courteous and the restaurant was fine for breakfast. The rooms are small, the mattresses soft and older, and the bathroom was clean. This is not what I think of as a holiday motel but there were families with children staying there. Ordinarily I would consider this a one night stopover but I did have to spend five nights there. Parking is free and access to the freeways and highways is easy. It’s not a bad place but it is not inviting. If all you need is a room to sleep in then fine. Each room has an internet connection and you can get a cable at the reception desk. In the lobby a computer with internet connection and printer is available for free use and I was able to print out my boarding pass. It’s adequate. I had to attend a conference and was booked in by a travel agent my company used. We will not use that agent again.
