3 reviews for Days Inn-Harbor View
This hotel should really get four stars, but I had SUCH a good experience here that I had to add a star.
I stayed here one night before I went on a cruise. I was able to park my car here while I was on the cruise and the park & stay deal was excellent. They shuttled our entire group over to the port as part of the deal.
As a hotel goes...well...it's Days Inn. A hotel room. A bathroom. A TV. A pool. Free Wifi.
Here's my great experience. While I was on the cruise, some lunatic ran through the parking lot and broke my windshield and driver's side window. It's not like this is a bad neighborhood, just some random window-breaking freak on the loose and my car and my friends car were the only victims. Apparently the lunatic climbed up on the roof of the hotel with the police chasing him and disappeared into the night completely avoiding arrest.
When we returned from the cruise, the manager met us at the cars and calmed us down (actually kept us from ever getting too excited). She had already gotten prices to replace our windshield (on a Saturday), filed a claim with her insurance company, ordered the work to be done once we gave her the go ahead, and put us up in the hotel another night at no cost to us. She even gave us two extra rooms for friends that were not with us when we originally stayed but were stuck with us because we were driving them home.
That is great service. I will go back. I will recommend it to everyone.
For the money, I'd hardly call this a deal.... but it was Comic-Con weekend and I think all the hotels double their rates for that week simply because they can.
Still, two large beds, we were on the top floor so we had nice high ceilings, a laptop safe in the room, a fridge, flatscreen TV, very effective air conditioning, and a decent shower. Really, it's all you need from a crash pad when visiting San Diego.
and again, if you're there during Comic-Con weekend, you're going to pay too much no matter where you stay.
I won't give it 5 stars, because come on, it's a Days Inn. But I will give it four because the front desk clerk was awesome. He gave us a $30 discount because my buddy is a marine, when it really is only supposed to be 10% or so. We ended up paying $100 for the room on a Friday night. It's close to everything, so if you're going to the gaslamp, you can stay here for fairly cheap, compared to some other places.
