SDSU.

Enjoyed interaction checking in. Bed was comfortable. Room size was good. Breakfast - could use some protein. Very disappointed that the only creamer for coffee was hazelnut. You have to be able to have regular creamer or carnation powder. It is very dated hotel, but would stay there again.

SDSU Stay

The room was old but comfortable. Water park was nice for the grandson. Staff were all friendly. I stayed on the first floor by the pool area. Might choose a upper floor next time as the pool is noisy if you wanted to sleep. Staff were good about closing the pool area on schedule which helped.

Had a great stay during the Reds on the Prairie sale. Very helpful staff. Breakfast options were wonderful.

2/10 Poor

Mold growing on the floor into the fridge. Smelled terrible. Toilet seat discolored and chipping. We did get our room changed. Second room was a little better but there was mold in the shower. Pool was the best part but had to ask to have it opened both days.
Mold growing from the floor.

2/10 Poor

Disappointing Stay – Not What We Expected Our overall experience at this hotel was unfortunately not satisfying. The property looked nothing like the photos online, which was our first red flag. While I will say the staff were friendly and helpful, the condition of the rooms left a lot to be desired. It didn’t seem like they had been properly cleaned in quite some time. The pull-out mattress we planned to use for the kids was in terrible shape—clearly old, extremely thin, and stained. You could feel every bar underneath when lying on it, making it basically unusable. We also had constant issues with the TV. Trying to put on something for the kids took way longer than it should have, just trying to get it connected to WiFi. To top it off, the main reason we booked this hotel was for the pool. Unfortunately, during our stay, the pool had issues and the water was so cold that it was unusable. The hot tub also had a very unpleasant smell, which was disappointing. Overall, we were not happy with our stay and do not plan on returning. Thanks.
