Great location, multiple options for parking near the beach. Only issue was the sink in the bathroom took far too long to drain. Decent price for the location, would still stay again.

Everything went well & was all smooth. The property was really nice and steps from the beach. We wish we would have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Overall, everything was nice.

five parking spots for about 20 units is ridiculous specially by the beach. desk worker for check out was rude over me accidentally grabbing her pen to sign. room fans were dusty and window cover was halfway off like if someone tried to break in. did not even stay the night , chulavista ghetto motels are very much accommodating for much lower price.

Check in was a breeze and they allowed an earlier check in without charging an extra fee. Free parking pass was issued for Diamond Inn and/or their sister properties if Diamond was full, which added to the convenience of finding parking.

This hotel was lovely and in a great location! My only issue was that the fridge was leaking in my room and the blow dryer wouldn’t work, and with the reception desk being located a couple of blocks over, I had to walk over there with wet hair to find a solution. But the staff were very accommodating and it was no problem to let me use another vacant room to blowdry my hair :) There are so many amenities close by - I would definitely stay here again!

Great location, only steps from the beach. Onsite parking is very limited. Rooms are nicely furnished but have a damp/musty smell. This is common with all hotels by the beach.

No lobby at the facility so check in was about 3 blocks away at another hotel also owned by same people.
