One of the best motels I’ve stayed at while visiting San Diego! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and polite, making check-in a breeze. The rooms appeared to be recently remodeled. I also appreciated the convenience of having a mini refrigerator and microwave in the room. Overall, a great stay—I would definitely book this location again!

Great 1 night stay

I was really shocked; I've stayed at this location several times in the past. My room was clean for the most part (floor not clean). The bathroom was remolded, with new bathtub, the sick area was new as well. Love the bedding, and phone area was also an upgrade. Check in was very easy, and took no time at all, I needed a low-level room and was accommodated. Very close to food places, and 7-11, and other stores, freeway access wasn't bad either. For a 1 night say It wasn't bad at all.

The front desk agent was friendly. The room was clean & there was a small refrigerator and microwave. This is a no frills motel and this is reflected in the price. There wasn’t many towels but I think they were accidentally forgotten. I would suggest another pillow as there was three but they are quite small for a queen bed. The room comes with two bars of soap. Make sure to have your own shampoo, conditioner or Kleenex. The only really complaint was the music at midnight and the paper thin walls. There is pride in ownership here. 🤗

Fast and easy check in. I love that the deposit can also be cash for a faster return deposit. It’s just down the hill from my husband job very convenient for us. Next to a 7-11 and multiple fast food restaurant.
