What guests think

At Quality Inn San Diego I-5 Naval Base, travelers describe a budget‑friendly, convenient base with generally helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms, while frequent freeway noise and a mixed surrounding area shape expectations for a simple, practical stay.

Location is handy for the naval base and key attractions, though several guests felt the neighborhood was sketchy and traffic noise is common. Service is frequently praised as friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is very limited and the room often feels crowded, and some rooms show maintenance or cleanliness issues such as odors, pests, or aging fixtures. Parking can be tight and elevator outages were reported; overall, expect a basic value stay best for short visits if you can tolerate noise and limited amenities.

Really friendly staff and hotel is in a good place, easy to access through highway. That’s pretty much it… breakfast only had 2 waffle machines, coffee and milk, juice, yogurt and cereal, apples. Due to the hotel being beside the highway, it is very noisy specially at night, you can hear all the cars and trucks traveling by. No elevators working.

Poor quality. Below average on everything. One of our rooms had spiders and gaps under the door. Homeless and freeway around you. Food selection is saved only by the waffle maker. Parking is awful and overcrowded. We had 3 rooms and 1 car with no place to park on 3 or our nights. Only stay here if you're saving some money and ok with 2/5 rating.

One thing I liked about the property was that it was covenants to my church which was a 6 min drive. One thing I didn’t like was that it didn’t have a pool. Overall it was a good spot to spend the night at and the room stay was good. The tv was set up good and the a/c ran cold

The elevator was out of service and we lugged luggage up to the 3rd floor of the Inn. Breakfast was fine as was the efficiency of the maids who had our room cleaned and towels changed while we were out. Just that darned elevator!

The property itself was decent, but our stay was affected by a couple of things. It was quite noisy, especially since our unit was located close to the stairs — we could constantly hear people going up and down at all hours. Also, parking is very limited, which made it inconvenient when coming back late.

We got this room for a low price in comparison to other rooms in the area we specifically choose this one due to the free parking and location. But the mattress was old and lumpy and our ironing board had blood smeared on it. We also couldn't use our remote since it wasn't programed to the t.v. We did notify the front office but no one came to fix it till we actuallywent to the front office to report it. This was definitely one of those you get what you pay for moments

Cleanliness

I have enjoyed my first week at the Quality Inn. The room seems newly renovated- and the beds are very comfortable. The housekeepers have cleaned my room every day and hotels don’t do that very often anymore- under the excuse of covid-I appreciate being able to be comfortable throughout all my travels, and this place has done it for me. Thank you Quality Inn for helping the hotel industry getting back to normal for business travels and letting the rooms be cleaned daily. I appreciate clean comfortable accommodations!

The room is supposed to be non smoking however, it smells like smoke and sewer we got in so late there was no time to switch rooms my daughter and I were tired, so I sprayed the room with perfume and went to bed. Would definitely not stay here again the noise from the highway is so loud it’s like the windows are open. The only positive I would say is that the worker who checked me in was nice and the bed is comfy but the smell and noise is just awful.

I like the size of the rooms and decor. I did not like the gap at the door to the floor. Easily small criters and spy scopes can access your space. The gap also increases the outside noise and cold draft which is already at an freeway exit thats noisy.

Upon arrival, the check-in process was organized, but the receptionist was extremely serious — it felt more like a job interview than a welcoming experience. She didn’t smile or show any warmth, which made us feel uncomfortable. A more friendly and cheerful attitude would make a big difference in first impressions. The room itself was very clean and beautifully prepared when we first entered, with a pleasant scent and a comfortable atmosphere. Parking was also convenient and easily available. However, the housekeeping service during our 3-night stay was below expectations. The room was not cleaned properly each day, and there was a clear lack of attention to detail. This is something the management really needs to address. Overall, the room was lovely, but the experience would be much better with more welcoming staff and improved cleaning service.

For a low budget hotel, the property is well-maintained, comfortable, and clean. The hotel is old and could use upgrades and renovations, things unlikely to happen due to it's commuter clientele. The surrounding neighborhood has some sketchy characters but overall I felt safe.

Clean property centrally located. It is in a somewhat safe area for the city and you can get to downtown and other areas quickly without breaking the bank. Don’t expect the Hilton but it does the job. We are generally in the go anyhow. No issues at all, great breakfast sandwiches and burritos - very pleased, not a buffet but an extended on the go - you get more than apple and yogurt. Beds were very comfortable, room was very clean. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend the property to others.

Looks like a motel rather than the kind of inn that Quality Inn usually has. The breakfast has very limited options. Surprised to see how small the so called breakfast room is. Given the options there has, it’s more like a snack room.
