I like and enjoy staying at Howard Jonson, National City. It's clean, safe, friendly, affordable, and closed to all amenities San Diego has to offer. NationalCity is a cozy town with a great library near by, great open spaces and walkable neighborhoods.

The property manager was extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast is just grab and go, so we did end up going out for breakfast each day. It was quiet and the room was clean, so overall a nice place to stay when you’re on a budget.

The location and the fact that parking comes free is the best part of this place. We showed up for our 3pm check in only to be delayed til after 5pm. Not ideal for a family vacation. The room was overall okay, the one thing we knew was the room was cleaned daily and they were very helpful and nice when it came to making sure we had plenty of towels and supplies.

Howard Johnson was a pretty good stay for us. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The only thing I would say is that it’s not in the best area of town.
