Top Lake Hodges Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Pleasant Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was spotless and quite big, with a separate table for two as well as a desk. The bed and pillows were comfy. Staff at check in were lovely. This is a basic motel, with no pool, gym, or vending machines, at least that I found. But things were very clean, the floor was not carpeted (so clean), and very comfortable, with free parking. About 10-15 minutes drive from UCSD, so a good option when hotels nearby are booked or over priced. Walmarts, 99 Ranch, and Starbucks are less than a mile away though driving is recommended as traffic moves quickly."

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"I've traveled all over the world and this is probably the nicest hotel. I've stayed in, especially considering the location steps from the beach. However, one thing is a little annoying at Piper's restaurant. We spent almost $1000 on dinner and noticed that there was a $50 surcharge. Kind of annoying half the people wanted to pay it other half didn't wanna pay it. It was just kind of uncomfortable. I'd rather just have that $50 buried into the cost of goods so there's no conversation about it."
