Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

4/10 Poor
"I stayed on the 2nd floor. The elevator to go up had walls covered in cardboard & pool noodles on the rails . The door squeaked as it opened/ closed . Got to my floor and the carpet was covered in plastic , vents were popped off the ceiling . Noticed it was under construction, but it was pretty dirty .. as in crumbled food on the floor everywhere. My room had no hand soap. The bathroom wall had something splattered on it . Breakfast was bland. Potatoes looked like they were just cut up and sautéed with no salt or seasoning. Sausage was dry . Pancakes were cold. Btw parking is $26."
