Breakfast was very limited compared to holiday Inn express the previous owners. Very disappointing!! Hotel seems to be not kept up as well as previous years. Ice machine on our floor was all wrapped up and out of order.Had to go to another floor to get it. Standards were definitely lower. Not sure if I will stay there again.

Fine if you need a cheap place to stay.

Parking was terrible. Spaces were too tight and the room was way too hot when we got there. Even with the a/c unit on, didn’t get very cool.

This property is definitely showing signs of age. Very humid inside the property. Rust spots on lighting in the room and even on bed frame. I look at every mattress of a hotel I stay at because I am freaked out by bugs. No bugs or anything like that, but I pulled back the mattress protector and there was a hole in the mattress revealing the springs. The mattress looked quite old. The staff was nice. The pool was very small and looked cloudy, so I didn't even want to go in. The room was clean though and sheets were clean. Hot water in shower as well. Walls were very thin. Its a very basic place to lay your head and at least it was clean. Its just showing its age.

Comfortable but could be better

Parking is open and easy. Front desk people were friendly and made check in easy. Room was comfortable good working air conditioner, fridge and microwave in room and an ok breakfast served daily makes my kids always excited to stay. But there were some negatives, the beds are not comfortable, extra firm mattress that bounces a lot when anyone moves, and did a number on our backs and hips. The tv remote didnt work well, pushing buttons multiple times before a channel would change and lord help me it would always go the wrong way. The elevator wouldnt always work, and with a stroller it was a headache. The room keys would deactivate easily. We got locked out twice. And the breakfast options were ok but hard for the poor employee to keep full when a large group of teens were all staying there. We tried to get in there early to beat the teens lol. Probably would pick another hotel next stay just to avoid some of the inconveniences. But not a major regret

Green Tree is located in a commercial area with auto dealers, gas stations as well as other hotel/motels. That said, it is a couple of blocks from the Mission Bay park providing access to Mission Bay. For the price it is an older facility yet very clean and well maintained.
