Awful - didn't stay 3 minutes

Travel hound Oct 9, 2009

When I walked into the hotel, the office was being cleaned with some sort of foul smelling pine agent. I filled out the card ... for the room, which stated no checkouts 10 minutes after check in. I very soon found out why. After going to the second floor, and noticing the 1970 curtains, which looked like they hadn't been cleaned since installed, I open the door to my assigned room. As I opened the door, a 3-4 inch cockroach scurried across the floor. I shut the door to the jail cell size room and went directly back down stairs. I waited t the front desk for at least 2 minutes and told the owner/check-in agent that this place was not for me. He offered a suite - I declined, knowing bugs were in the place. Disgusting! He said he was charging me for a night. I said I didn't care what he tried to do, I wasn't staying there.

Strawberry Aug 9, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We arrived late after a wedding and the night clerk was very prompt and polite even though we had clearly woken him up. ... Really liked how the rooms had a mini-fridge and Micro, and the room was comfortable.

Nice for the price

Jeffrey Jul 11, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

Hotel was very clean, it was in a nice neighborhood and inexpensive for the city it is in. No pool or restraunt onsite, but ... the beach and plenty of places to eat very closeby. One of the closest motels to the north entrance of Camp Pendelton (san onofre). When we visit my daughter and son-in-law at Camp Pendelton again we will stay there again.
