We spent a long weekend in San Diego Friday till Tuesday. Hotel is in a convenient location, in Hillcrest neighborhood. Parking available for 5 dollars a day . Rooms large with kitchen, but many great restaurants nearby. Staff friendly and helpful. Great pool and hot tub. Breakfast OK, with enough options to satisfy. Good value overall. We had a rental car but took the bus downtown because it was more convenient.

I loved this little hotel. It is easy to find, easy to park, in a nice area, and perfect for families. We had a one bedroom suite, with a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. The breakfast offered was nothing to write home about, but was better that the average "continental breakfast". There is a Whole Foods not too far away, and the kitchen allows you to make your own breakfast (or dinner, for that matter). The so called "pool" is more like a big tub, perhaps 20 by 12 feet, but it's clean and nice to relax in after a long day at the zoo or Sea World. There is also a spa.
I could use the computer in the lobby free of charge to check my e-mails, and do a "mid-trip" laundry in the coin operated laundry in the top floor. I would certainly stay here again.

This was our second visit to the Sommerset Suites. For the price, you can't ask for more. The room was clean and more than adequate for our needs, a king size bedroom, livingroom and kitchen. The free coffee maker/coffee and full size refrigerator were much appreciated, as was the free internet and free parking as the next California property we stayed at charged $10 per day for internet and $14 per day for parking.
The location was great for area attractions. The front desk clerk, Bridget, was friendly and very efficient as was the lady who managed the free breakfast area. The free breakfast was more than just donuts and coffee, you had a choice of assorted muffins breads, bagels, even fresh made waffles, fruits, cereal, yogurts and juices. The only set back was the tiny parking spaces and I have a small sedan, I can only imagine the difficulty in parking a mini-van or SUV there. Otherwise, for the price, I think it's one of San Diego's best deals.

Excellent location, especially for Scripps Hospital (next door). Neighborhood is lively and gay, lots of restaurants & shops. Hotel staff was nice & fun, but professional. We checked into our room, but the maid was still cleaning it, so they switched us. The non-smoking room smelled of smoke. The internet didn't work, and we spent a lot of time (with no compensation) on the phone with tech support or calling the front desk. What a pain! But the rooms are nice, clean, functional -- and the breakfast was good. Overall, I'd recommend it and will probably go back. Try to get a room overlooking the pool, as other rooms have boring views.
