We had stayed here before, so it was great to return. Perfect for our stay and needs. We came around Halloween and enjoyed the decor and the staff’s pumpkin carving contest. So creative and they have a great sense of humor. We like the bar and hanging by the pool before we departed

2 star motel

This is a 2 star motel, not a 3.5 star hotel. Yes it has a nice sized pool and standard jacuzzi, but it’s basically a Motel 6. The maid service and front desk are great. But this motel is super basic, and still charges $24/night for parking ! Rooms are clean. But you walk in the room and it constantly smells like “burnt heater.” The bathrooms have no ventilation either. So you have to open the hotel windows just to vent the room. And it’s cold outside ! I had a hard time sleeping because it smelled like burnt heater (sorry I can’t describe it any other way). But you also had to run the fan and/or open the windows or else it would smell worse. And the weird thing is there is a small refrigerator in between the beds. I thought my ears were ringing , but it was the refrigerator. Also, there are no elevators. And the tv did not have basic picture quality. Thankfully it was a quiet motel. But I also I didn’t like that they give you two small pillows for each bed. I just wish the reviews were accurate, so people know what they are getting into. I’m posting this review, so hopefully it helps someone. Overall we will not be returning. We can find better hotels for the same price elsewhere. Our uber driver said hotels on the other side of the freeway are much better.

The customer service at this hotel was great! Very accommodating and polite, which provided an overall great experience. There was an issue with the heater in the first room we had, but the staff acted quickly and moved us to a room with even better accommodations. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the San Diego area!

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is a little dated and very humid in our room. The AC was freezing and would not adjust at all. Parking was spendy, so just wished it was complimentary. Nice pool and hottub. Good drinks at the bar before we went to dinner. Would stay again, just might not do a rental car (Ubers and Lyfts were reasonable).
