I am hoping people who wrote negative remarks are not true. My only concern is the cleanliness of the rooms from beddings, bathrooms, floorings up to the fridge, microwave, coffee makers telephones and small things inside the hotel room. Services is another concern, staff needs to be accommodating to hotels visitors.

My girlfriend and I go here every weekend on our date night. The staff here is phenomenal. Shout out to Eric and Juan and Victor at the front desk. They take care of us every time. They make us feel welcome and that our business is appreciated. Our rooms have always been very clean and no funny smells. The staff in the kitchen have always been polite and helpful and the food is good. Try the garlic truffle fries. We really appreciate everything they have done for us there. We definitely recommend staying here. Thanks again guys. We appreciate you. See you next Sunday.

Great full service hotel right in Mission Valley. It's a little bit hidden, but not hard to get to. It's an older building but it certainly appears well maintained and the rooms have all the modern amenities you'd expect and plenty of plugs that are easy to get to. Everyone I've encountered from the staff are super friendly and eager to assist. My only complaint: the glass cover on the desk stops an optical mouse right on its tracks. Bring a mouse pad, or use a notebook or something.

The lounge is open with snacks and a computer available! They also have a nice hot tub here. Easy access of the highway. Parking not worth $20 a night. I think when rooms are upgrade this could have some resort quality. Front staff very nice. You must ask for parking pass. SAFETY: When exiting property bushes are high and dont allow clear view to see traffic coming from the left. This is from sitting in SUV. Picture included in this post!!

We stayed at Sheraton Mission Valley and had an amazing experience! The hotel is beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location — just a short drive from SeaWorld and many great places around San Diego. Eric at the front desk was absolutely wonderful — so kind, professional, and helpful. He made our stay truly special. Highly recommend this hotel!

Juan, Eric and Victor are so nice at the front desk. They know us by name and are always so friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. We stay there once a week because its our date night and they make us feel at home.

My wife and I are visiting from out of state (Phoenix, Arizona), and our experience here has been amazing! I especially want to recognize Juan at the front desk for his outstanding customer service. From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. He made our check-in quick and easy, answered all of our questions, and made us feel right at home. Traveling can sometimes be stressful, but Juan truly made our stay smooth and enjoyable. His positive attitude and attention to detail made a big difference in our trip. Thank you for the incredible hospitality — we’ll definitely be back!

Nice hotel! They have a restaurant, bar, outdoor swimming pool that is up to 5ft deep, a hottub and access to the fitness center next door for all guests. The rooms are larger and very clean, the bathroom was smaller but adequate, the staff were so friendly, and the overall atmosphere was very inviting to everyone. The rooms offered hairdryers, refrigerator, air purifier, clothing iron and board, large desk and a large mirror. I would definitely recommend this place to others. We had short drives to get to the USS Midway museum, the Gas Lamp Quarter, a farmers/street market and old town which offered the tour of the Whaley House. We even used a Lyft one night and only had to wait about 6 minutes for our ride. They have large suites that made it the perfect location for the conference I attended.
