The chocolat chip pancakes peanut butter in the morning were a real treat. Old fashioned almost wild west decor. Nice hangout lounge. Good wifi. Bathroom facilities minimal. One night staff member seemed to have personal problems, made me uncomfortable. Daytime staff friendly and helpful. Excellent location.

Not for us

The room was fine. Bathroom ok. Loud Loud Drinking game going on for hours starting at 5pm with lots of Loud Profanity. Impossible to sleep. Bathroom door needs oil! Squeaked all night with people going in and out. Check in/checkout people couldn't advise on parking info.

Good location and staff was friendly enough. But buildings and furnishings are in need of serious repair, renovation and cleaning. Shower by our room was out of service. Curtain in the shower downstairs was riddled with mold and mildew. Outside furniture too dirty to sit on. Filter on room air conditioner was covered with what had to be years of dust and dirt. Key cards consistently malfunctioned for most of our stay. Did not provide all amenities advertised. Supposedly smoking not allowed inside, but that apparently does not apply to weed.

Great hostile

Great hospitality and service. I would recommend anyone coming to visit San Diego and wants a great deal. I was lost at first finding it, but the owner really was understanding and compensated me tremendously. I can’t wait to visit again when I have time
