Better than expected
Older property but nice layout. Most rooms are around the pool. Good sized room. Kitchenette was unexpected. Nice table in bedroom area. All in all better than expected at price point.

ok but beware of street noise
my room faced the road, so i heard vehicles zoom by as the sped up to get onto the nearby freeway on-ramp. if it was quiet, experience would be so much better.

Convenient, well secure but aged amenities
The place was ok. It is safe, secure and at a very good location. The best thing was that it is right in the middle of San Diego and everything was very close by. The place is well secured and had ample parking. However, there was no separate sink for the bathroom. Only one sink in the kitchen and the stove was barely working. Bed wasn't comfortable.

Great!
My family really enjoyed the hotel. It was clean. We had a kitchen with a fridge, kitchen sink, microwave, and stove top. There was a pool and jacuzzi. There was a lot of space to store our food and clothes and my son’s toys. And it’s such a great location near the freeway and near so many great restaurants.

The staffs are friendly and helpful. Coffee and water are available in the lobby area from morning till night which is good. The location is convenient, close to freeway access, and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. The facility is old but with the good price and convenient location, it is a good choice.

We had a room on the second floor toward the front of the motel. He was noisy due to the traffic on the main street.
