8/10 Very good

Overall the property was good and the staff was very kind and helpful. I chose this location because of proximity to where I needed to be during my 4 day stay in San Diego.
Sandra, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The pics of the building and room make it look nicer than it is than what you actually get The noise from the street is pretty loud in the room, the door to the room doesn’t seem safe, the building hallways are very dated looking, and my bathroom had a torn shower curtain.

Do not book

Read the other reviews and do not stay here. Booked two nights, walked in and walked straight back out. Have not responded to requests for even a partial refund to cover the alternative hotel we had to book. Dirty and unsafe!

Rodrigo, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was very nice and accommodating but location not the best. Very noisy during the night
Marcus, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

All in all it was a good place for the price. The gentleman at the fron desk was friendly. Microwave was broken and it smelt a bit musty. I'm paranoid about every hotel i sleep in so i generally bring sanatizing spray and pillow cases.
Elaine, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Not overall a bad property for price. BE CAREFUL IN THE SHOWER, not only did I fall but my significant other fell in the shower due how to slippery the tub is. Definitely needs a grip matt or something before an injury occurs
Emilie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It’s like a motel 6. It wasn’t the cleanest. They definitely looks way better in the pictures.
Carmen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Fake advertising Not what the page shows and small parking They still ask for more deposit even though rooms been fully paid for booking
Rogelio, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty rooms and blood stained towels

Our flight was abruptly cancelled at 11:30 pm that night so we had very few choices for hotels to stay at that weren’t outrageously expensive and the hotel we’d booked for our other days stay was full for the night. When we arrived to this hotel, the check-in area wreaked of isopropyl alcohol, the smell was harshly offensive. We finally get to our assigned room and the toilet is dirty and had clearly not been cleaned making us question the sanitation of the rest of the room. The curtains had brown stains on them and the lamp shades were torn. There were also ants in the bathtub. We presented our concerns with the staff and they gave us another room, but it wasn’t much better. The hand towels were blood stained, and many other signs of the place being generally unkept.

Room smelly toweks used too old and thin, not clean. Deposit supposed to be on hold and pending by other hotels then can cancle the transaction so you dont need to pay a few, but this hotel first charged your credit card first then refund so you have to lost the two times covertion rate charged by the bank. The area is not walk in distance to good location
Y, 6-night trip

Scammed

Scam. Its horrible no parking, small, it smelled like mold, no ice machine, you can hear everything through the walls. Never staying again dont recommend. Oh there is a creepy door thats locked in the room instayed in, on the side a little foom with tiny windows supposably storage.
Mayra, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is not the place for comfort, family or sanitation and health safety. The location and parking not the best. Its appearance is questionable. The hotel room we stayed at was dirty, black mold in the shower. Water damage. There was tape over the smoke detector. The curtains and window was super dirty. Burnt holes in the blankets and questionable markings in the walls. The latch to lock for extra security was broken. But what was worse of all was the people above us were making so much noise as if they kept pacing back and forth all night from 10pm till we left the room at 6am! The only thing positive was the lady at the front desk. She was very welcoming and sweet.
