Disliked: Amenities

Immediately getting out of the car in the parking lot and through the entire lobby it smelled terribly of mold/ mildew. The greenery is pretty but very clearly not maintained. The smell is nauseating and never went away the entire week we were there. The room is okay for the price but very dated & minimal. It was "clean" but things like stains in the carpets, black stains in the shower (which was awful as well) just don't FEEL clean if that makes sense. Things like the windows hadn't been wiped in a long time. There was mold in the coffee pot. It just seems the place was surface wiped and kept but not actually cleaned. The free breakfast was the same everyday and the kitchen closes well before the end time so the last 30 minutes you get whatever scraps are leftover, nothing fresh. I wouldn't say there was anything bad per se, it's just good to know what to expect ahead of time. The pressure in the shower was high which I usually prefer but the shower head was awful. Unable to move or change settings so the water sprays everywhere, felt like multiple water gun jet streams rather than a shower (Forget it if you have sunburn.) If you're looking for something quick, easy, cheap and near the airports, this works. But if you're looking for a more relaxing vacation with luxury hotel amenities and features, this is definitely not the place. Nobody wants to pay to go on vacation to a place that falls below their at home standards. Everyone is different but this wasn't ideal for us.

This is an older property- not fancy or modern, but well cared for, without attitude. It was a little funky (zigzagging walkways through mature rose gardens and fountains, MUCH smaller pool than the picture led us to believe, and you had to call front desk if you wanted any kitchen items delivered. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was served by a nice woman. Fitness room was small, with 3 cardio machines and an old cable machine, but no free weights. The only water filter we found was the fitness room. The location didn’t seem too walkable, and the hotel didn’t have any beer to sell. The facility had locked gates separating the parking lots, which made it somewhat difficult to unload, but gave a sense of safety in a questionable area. There were 4-5 other hotels on the small street right off the highway, but I don’t know if they had locked gates. We did not see or hear anything suspicious. Overall, it was fine for 1 night, $100 less than a hotel in San Diego, and close enough to Crystal Cove and the Great Park!

The room was decent. Nothing over the top. Housekeeping was knocking on the door well before check out time. It felt like just a place to crash for the night.
