Area is safe and quiet. Not too far from dining. I had a bad room that smelled like smoke even though it was non smoking room. Other than that, I’m always mostly satisfied with my regular stays here. Always a pleasure.

No free parking inside the premises. Valley parking only and was pricey. If you decline valet parking, you have to find street parking which can be dangerous because you have to cross the street with cars overspeeding.

Hotel accommodated all my needs for a good low price. Area had decent dining options not too far away and area seemed safe. Would be even better if there was a small breakfast in the morning but they did have coffee. I am a happy customer and would be returning as long as the price remains low.

The location was near stores and restaurants. However, the front desk woman was not suited to customer service as she was downright crabby and irritating. The front desk was poorly attended. We went to check out at 10:00 a.m. and no one was at the front desk to check us out. We had to drop our key in a drop off window. Also, this was an old cheap motel with popcorn ceilings, a faucet too short to reach the sink which caused water to be all over. E en though the counters and furnisings were updated, I would not choose this place again.

Somewhat low price for S Diego, but quite satisfactory. Great shower. Fridge, microwave, TV cable, clean carpet that doesn’t turn the soles of my feet black. Nice lighting.

I can’t do too much complaining since hotel price is very reasonable and met all of my needs. Many food options within the area to choose. Would be nice if there was something more than coffee provided in the morning. Also, if your room is near the street side, many emergency vehicles will pass by and can be disturbing but not as much disturbance in the back. If you’re looking for a decent hotel on a budget, this is a good choice. You get what you pay for and it accommodates all your needs.
