The towels are pretty thin, very little bottles of shampoo/conditioner. Ice maker was at the lobby instead closer to the room. The price was excellent, safe and clean facility. Families were enjoying themselves at the swimming pool. Staff were very friendly and easy to work with, excellent customer service.

After 2 incredibly awful and disappointing nights, we were ready to be just...done with a cursed weekend. And, as this was our least expensive lodging for the weekend getaway to San Diego, we set out expectations with the bar so low, it was resting comfortably on the floor. I was TRULY surprised. Room was spotless, location was great, lady who checked us in couldn't have been nicer. Bed was SO comfortable! Would definitely stay here again.

Decent spot to stay for a quick trip when you’re not gonna be in the hotel very much. Didn’t use the pool this time. Stayed for three nights and nobody ever replaced my towels. Other than that I’ve stayed there several times and will stay again for the value.

Overall, the property was pretty good and it was a convenient location. I really liked that there was a liquor store in same property, which was definitely a plus. The room was decent and worked fine for our stay. The AC didn’t cool the room as much as I would’ve liked, and there was no fan in the restroom, so it got pretty hot in there. The room also had a strong Clorox smell when we first walked in, but it wasn’t a huge deal. Other than that, everything was okay and I’d stay here again.

This hotel is a good one if you’re on a budget or just staying a night. The hotel is in the middle of everything. The rooms are fairly clean. In the room i was given, the bathroom door couldn’t stay shut or locked, walls and door trim paint was chipping. Other than that it was a good stay

Bug in my bed. Every single surface of the room on the inside was scratched or broken. Bathroom clearly had mold problems(floor was soft and collapsing in parts). We all itched all night. Bed must’ve had dust mites. VERY loud as there’s some type of night club next door. Check-in and out was seamless and staff was nice. Outside is well maintained. Overall experience was a one star
