It is very family friendly especially with the Kitchenette! It made our stay with a small baby so much more easier because we had somewhere to wash bottles and store things in the fridge and even came with a completely dish soap and sponge that I thought was so nice because I didn’t even think that a place would consider those small details!

This property is conveniently located near restaurants, grocery stores, and the freeway. The staff was inviting, friendly, and accommodating. The full breakfast buffet was had a wide variety of goodies. The pool and jacuzzi was inviting and relaxing. There were many more amenities we didn’t explore: exercise room, barbecue area, corn hole lawn game, and basketball mini court. Aside from the $10 daily parking fee, I would return to this property in the future.

Great appartment, with all required utensils and fixings. Beautiful pool. Had to request towel changes every few days. Pool towels always had to collected before a swim as none were in the towel storage at the pool. Breakfast was great but hours were too early or too short. Needed to be until 9 or later every morning.

Tucked away, this property had everything. And nice added touches to a suite with a kitchen. Although I didn't need all the extras, they were there. I felt safe, enjoyed the pool (warm), and the staff were professional and courteous. I will stay again. Thank you.

I would highly recommend this Hotel. Now, we have a go to hotel when we visit San Diego. The hotel was located in a small shopping center- gas stations just right by the area, dining and shopping centers like tj maxx- marshalls and many more! I love the Hotel bonus is the good location. The staffs were great too!! Special mention to Ms Maria- frond desk or manager I guess- she was so sweet accommodating and she made sure our stay will be a good one.

The room was clean but not to expectations. The dishes were dirty and there was hair on the walls and behind the door. Not sure what that was about. Also, their bed was very uncomfortable. I’ve stayed at this location before and everything was spotless! I was very impressed then that I decided to book with them again on my next visit. But not sure if I’ll be staying there again.
