North Central San Diego Hotel Guide - Adventure Sport Hotels in North Central San Diego, San Diego

"Lots of mixed reviews online for this hotel - and all make sense now - there is a lot going for and against this place. Pros: 1. The staff were great, very attentive and always happy to help with any room needs we had - the team at The Dextro are one of its finest assets and we appreciated them. 2. Location is decent - just 10 minutes walk to Little Italy main strip (India Street ) which has many great restaurants and a cool vibe, too. The hotel is also within walking distance to the amazing Balboa Park (1.5 miles) and awesome USS Midway (1.3 miles) - two highly recommended spots to see for anyone looking to keep up their steps. 3. The room was clean and the beds were actually very comfortable! Cons: 1. The outdoor pool needs cleaning / cleaning more frequently - we used the pool once and it was full of leaves and dead bugs - I ended up getting the net off the wall to give it a mini clean myself (!)- needless to say, we didn't use it for long. 2. Decor - the hotel has had some uplift in parts but still has a tired look and feel about it. 3. Breakfast cost - we couldn't bring ourselves to pay $20 per person for breakfast - a family of 4 (2x adults + 2x kids (ages 13+11)) would be $80 for a basic breakfast - we wouldn't get value for money from that so brought food in or went out each day. I'd recommend the hotel considers more options on pricing for breakfast if it wants more guests to take up on it. All in all, this hotel was value for money - no frills but reasonable."

"Room was clean, staff were friendly. Just didn't have a working TV (no sound) but could'nt care much as i was barely in the room to use it. But overall a recommended stay!"

"Good"

"Incredible location, top quality service, really feel welcomed! Most ameneties were closed and no entertainment or activities, but tonnes to do in the local area. Rooms are much smaller than anticipated and the TV's are likely haunted or dont work, but still very nice. Again when staying that central, its not much of a deal breaker. Food is delicious, but verrrry expensive. Shout out to the valet staff, its worth every penny!"

"Pool cold - room facing parking lot "

"N/A"

"The room was clean but mixed with some things new and other things old. Never had hot water for the shower however the shower was large. Our view was awesome loved watching all the sailboats, skiers, row boats, kayaks etc. We even seen a purpose. People with dogs let them poo without picking up not nice when it's in front of your room. "

"Front desk was nice , housekeeping for the first 2 days was so sweet they made animal shapes out of towels for the kids when we got back to the room at the end of the night "

"Great rooms and staff"
