La Quinta Inn San Diego – Miramar

The older lady that checked us out at the Miramar, Ca location on Oct 11^th was so completely rude I almost walked out while my teammated was cashing out. She mixed up the reservation with a xxxxx xxxxxxx and charged the poor persons card and had to reverse it. She said «oh it will come right off!» When we repeatedly told her that is not our card. She was insisted that it was. It was a completely other person and she charged it after we told her five times. She was rude and stubborn! She did not smile once until after she made the error. We where tired and very patient that day, but that part of the experience was not pleasant at all. We will think twice about visiting LA Quinta Inn when we are in town for our annual tournament next year.

The hotel was nice all the staff was nice except for the front desk older lady kris she was super rude to me could not talk to her. Had me wait for ever both times I checked in and checked others in very quickly. Did absolutely nothing to her and she just was so slow when working with me. I would have stayed at a other rhotel asked for a room close to parking since my boy friend had just been hit buy a car and she did the exact opposite put us in a room very far away from any parking. I would have to say she gave me the worst experience at a hotel ever I definitely won’t ever be staying here again.

Hotel was okay, I’m only writing this review to say that Chris at the front desk the the older lady is very rude.

The people working the front desk are super nice and very welcoming I almost feel bad for writing this review but the building itself leaves a lot to be desired.
The ac unit in our room was leaking condensation or maybe just water onto the floor and carpet so when we walked in it already smelled like a deep mold then I took a shower and the water came up to my shins quickly so I reached down to see it the drain was open and the drain popped off and a huge ball of either human or dog hair came out. I’ll post the pic… I threw up. I wrote this review after being in the room only 2 hours who knows what joys tomorrow may bring.

Not even sure where to start…
It said check in time is at 3pm, we arrived at 4pm and our room was still not ready. We waited until 5pm. Finally we get into our room and there’s this super loud fan going… Apparently they are trying to dry the rug… Who knows what was spilled or why it’s wet… But it smells burnt because of the fan. I unplugged it and had them remove it. Room smells. I was offered to transfer to a new room but declined because I just wanted to lay down from the long day so far… The room is really small. The room I booked said it would have a refrigerator and a microwave but doesn’t. Also if this is a deluxe room it’s crap…
So I called back and asked why my room didn’t have the fridge and microwave and they transfered me no problem. So they seem to have pretty decent customer service just someone is making mistakes somewhere along the line. We got a decent room finally with everything we paid for but I still don’t think this room should be named deluxe.

I would like to thank Maureen (the GM) and Alex (front desk staff) for putting up with a woman with a testy attitude (me) who just had the worst day ever. I appreciate your flexibility! You’ve helped kids with developmental disabilities in the area get the services they need this week by assisting with my issue related to my stay… thank you!

We booked a room for a last minute getaway, and had a pleasant stay. Affordable rates, clean rooms, ample parking, complimentary breakfast, and pets stay free! San Diego is super dog-​friendly, so we were happy to take our four-​legged babies on our mini-​vacation. We took advantage of the hotel’s military discount and saved even more money. Conveniently located next to a Starbucks and right off the freeway, this hotel is about 20 minutes from the beach and the Gaslamp District. My only recommendation is adding an enclosed grassy area for dogs to relieve themselves. There were a few dirt spots around the parking lot, but they were very small. Overall, a good experience.

For the price– fair deal. Close to interstate so easy on and off. They have elevators for rooms but certainly a unique system as one needs to go outside to ride it– breakfast is cold cereal– yogurt– breads and waffles– nothing special. Room clean but dated. Front desk Robert a «cool dude» making you feel welcomed

Stayed here for a soccer tourney (Nomads). The place is perfect for what you need. A clean place to stay, felt safe, close to freeway, free breakfast, friendly staff. We had an early game (8am) and were done about 9:30am. La Quinta let us checkin early where most places wouldn’t let you do that. Only thing which might turn some people ff is the freeway noise. It doesn’t bother me but maybe some folks. Oh yea, the internet was plenty fast. we’ll stay here again for sure.

stayed here for two nights. After the first night, I noticed a bite on my leg. We checked the room and bypassed it as it was only one bite. While eating in the room on the second morning, I felt a bite on my right ankle, I didn’t look and only scratched that area. A second later, I felt something on my left ankle and when I looked, sure enough there was a flea biting into me. Now I have been bitten three times.
Im not sure if they are pet friendly but in any event, I’ll NEVER BE STAYING HERE AGAIN!

Stayed here the other night and it was mainly just to sleep. I checked in early which was very convenient and helpful. I didn’t return until 1am so I can’t really comment anything other than the bed was very comfortable and the location is conveniently next to the 15. I did have an issue with the air conditioner/​heater. I think the knob was broken because I put the heater on at night and the air was still cold.

We were in need of a dog-​friendly hotel for one night in the area. This La Quinta won out because of price and their excellent pet policy. No extra charge. No size limitation. You just have to sign something saying you’re responsible for any damage.
The location is great. Right off the I-​15. It’s a hilly area and the building kind of towers over the freeway exit. The guy at check-​in was very friendly and welcoming. We ended up with a room on the «4^th» floor away from the freeway. They do have elevators. The exterior seems a bit outdated but the room itself was clean and the beds were comfortable.
I only have two nitpicky complaints. One is that there aren’t really any good places for your dog to do his thing. They have a good size parking lot but really no grassy areas. Two is that the coffee from the breakfast room was terrible. The in-​room coffee maker product was at least a little better.
In the end, we slept well and that’s all we really expected. It was a decent price and the room was in great condition for being pet-​friendly.

I’m giving this property 4 stars, but this La Quinta Inn really is just high side of A-​OK., based on our experience. We stayed here while visiting family during June. It was packed, a full house. Although it’s good for business, it means no parking spaces and more noise for guests. It was especially loud for us, since our room was on first floor right off of the parking lot. The room seemed very clean on first inspection, but our dog found some previous guest’s leftover French fries behind the chair — yuck. Hello, housekeeping! So yeah, dogs are allowed but there’s only a tiny parking lot island for the pet area; some owners take their dogs up a dirt trail behind the property.
But front desk was friendly, breakfast bar was well-​stocked. If that’s not enough, there’s also a Starbucks, IHOP and a fast food Mexican restaurant immediately adjacent to this property. Since it’s next to Interstate 15, it’s accessible to almost any part of the northern San Diego area. We especially like the fact there is no daily pet fee, and the complimentary breakfast. We opted to pay a bit more for an executive king room because it included a refrigerator and microwave.

This is the second or third time I’ve stayed here. My brother lives in Poway and this place is the closest hotel to his house with the most reasonable rates.
Check-​in was easy and the staff were very friendly. The lobby area is good size with plenty of couches and a large flat screen.
Our room this time was on the 3^rd floor and overlooked the parking lot and freeway. I was somewhat concerned about the noise but I was thrilled that once the door was closed I never heard any traffic noise at all. The room itself was nice. I wouldn’t say it was way above average for the price but it was a good size, clean and quiet, it’s defiantly older and in need of some updating especially in the restroom but though it wasn’t perfect, it was clean. The only thing that really bothered me was the quality of the bath towels. Super thin, small and extremely rough on the skin. I HATE cheep towels.
Every guest get a complimentary «breakfast» each morning provided near the front lobby. Make your own waffles, choice of 3 cold cereals, breakfast breads, yogurt, random fruit, hard boiled eggs, coffee & juice. Nothing fantastic but enough to start your day.
Convenient, clean, quiet and free breakfast. Yup, ill be staying here on my next visit.

I am a big fan of La Quinta as they take dogs, but this one is awesome! Super friendly staff and quite at night. Slept like a baby. IHOP, Starbucks, and MXN Mexican food in the same parking lot! HWY 15 and 56 within .5 miles.
I stayed for 8 days and wished I could have stayed longer as the rooms are huge and comfortable. I highly recommend this LQ location.

Honestly, everything is good here except the pillows. Those pillows are SOOOOO uncomfortable that my neck hurt so bad for days. I had to sleep without those pillows. I would say that I’ve been to better La Quinta. My personal favorite is the one located in mission valley which is closer to downtown San Diego. Other than that, there’s still a lot of places to eat around the area which is kind of nice. I would probably stay here again but I“ll bring my own pillows next time!

Hopefully I can write a follow up review to this one and change the star rating…
My grandparents stayed here two weekends ago (Veterans Day). The room was nice and clean, they did not experience bedbugs, fruit flies or roach-​which after reading the other reviews is a HUGE blessing.
BUT.they were driving in from Sacramento on a last minute whim to be here for my birthday, because we wanted them to have a place to stay when they arrived I called La Quinta and reserved their room for them since the lady who answered the phone said there was only 4 rooms left.
She took my credit card information but made sure to tell me «if your grandparents try to check in and use your credit card I will deny them and turn them away, they have to use their own credit card»…yeah my grandparents have way more money and credit than me, that won’t be an issue.
Everything was fine and dandy until last Wednesday the 13^th when I checked my account and noticed a 90.85 charge that was not there before from La Quinta Inn.
I called right away and talked to Robert who looked up the account and cards (noting their was two cards on file for the room) and that they both had been charged.
He apologized and said that it would be fixed right away, I figure that it will be sorted out by Friday.
As of today the charge is still there. Yes it could be worse, yes it is «only» 90 dollars, but hey!!!-those are my 90 dollars which I worked pretty darn hard for! I would like them back, especially after being told it will be fixed «right away» & especially for being told when I reserved the room that my grandparents would have to use their own card to pay for the room and could not use mine to do so…(so I can’t charge my grandparents room on my card but La Quinta can charge my card (and my grandparents card) for the same room…)
Soo…come on La Quinta and Robert, don’t let me down & get a move on with your promise of fixing this right away!

This place is a little hard to find. It’s tucked in behind the MXN restaurant. Service is impeccable. Overseeing the freeway. Room is big and clean. I can’t ask for better.

I stayed here when in San Diego for a dog event. I love that LQs are not only dog friendly, but also don’t charge a dog fee. The room was very clean and although it was very close to a freeway, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.
Check in was easy. I wish that LQs put mini-​fridges in all of the rooms, but my friend who was also staying here wound up with one in hers so she let me put some drinks in there. I guess they have some that remain in rooms and others that rotate around.
The lobby, where they serve breakfast, is clean. Breakfast offerings are basic, but fine. There was plenty of parking but the spaces are rather small.
The only real downside that I experienced was that my TV was broken. When I checked in I had asked if they had a room with a fridge and they said that the only one they did had a broken TV, so they put me in a different room. Well, the room they put me in also had a broken TV. I mentioned it to them the next day and they said they’d try to fix it; when I came back that night it was still broken. They wound up taking $ 10 off my bill but I would have preferred a working TV.
The room fees were very reasonable for when I stayed (Memorial Day weekend) though I booked it months in advance. I looked to book in July and the fees were more expensive; unfortunately SD is an expensive place to stay especially in the summer, so while LQ is still reasonable it’s more than you’d think for a motel!
Otherwise, I had a great stay here, and plan to return for future dog events.

We stayed here for the weekend. It had the best weekend price compared to other hotels. We picked this location because it was only about 15 – 20 mins away from SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park. Check-​in was a breeze with awesome customer service. The room was also very clean with free wi-​fi and cable. Free Breakfast for the early birds; waffles were fresh and self-​made on the spot! Yummers.
**We loved how the hotel was near Stater Bros and restaurants **
