10/10 Exceptional

The property was easy to access off one of the main highways and the room itself was clean and had all the amenities necessary. The kitchen restaurant beside it had delicious breakfast options as well!

Mid Mod Value in SD

I needed a convenient, basic overnight stay in SD to move our daughter into San Diego State University. The old school, mid-century SoCal vibes of this place, appealed to me. It was good value for the location. It was spacious, clean, easy to find and get in and out of. Near a ton of shopping, restaurants, etc. Not a very walkable location, but you're a close drive or lyft/uber ride to anything, the universities, downtown, the beach, the malls, etc.

Marilyn, 2-night trip

I liked how close it was to all the places we were going to. Also liked that we were on the first floor since I do have children.
Briana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The pool and common areas are pretty nice, the rooms are spacious, but the room overall feels a little old and not in the best conditions, the bed was not very comfortable
Rodrigo, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place and big room with a lot of character.
David, 1-night trip

They have free self-parking

Great hotel; very clean, friendly staff, nice amenities, and free parking. Plus, there is a small shopping center with a restaurant and bodega style liquor store that sells everything. 10/10

6/10 Good

It definitely felt like they spent some time renovating this motel. Just still felt old in the room. It served the purpose of a comfortable place to sleep.
