Great value hotel, excellent central location to almost anywhere in SD. Rooms are older but also larger due to that so the extra space is appreciated. Ive stayed 4 times and keep coming back, great staff, plenty of off street parking, reasonably quiet given the proximity to major roads. Some rooms have large closets to stage suitcases and personal stuff like shoes. Wifi was good i always recommend using a VPN as well. I did not get a room with a kitchen (intentional) but there are rooms you could cook in. Bed was comfortable as were the pillows all in all an excellent budget hotel to staybat when in SD.

Booked 5 nights 1st night we checked In late due to issue with our flight, asked for quite room we were given room right next to highway very noisy. The next morning I asked to be moved and the desk associate told me she has a nice room available near the pool. As I started to get my things ready she came to the room and asked for the key back and said that room wasn’t available and would give us a diffusion when available. She did give us another room and this room overlooked a gas station, very disappointing and the hallways were very dingy and the room looked much nicer online and would rate a 3 out of a 10

Got there at 1 in the morning and was unable to check in. They have a policy of requiring a hard copy of a government ID. As a result, I had to sleep in my car. I do need to say that they refunded my stay.

San Diego Surprise

Great price for our 6 days in San Diego. We stayed in the Claremont Mesa area which was away from the beaches but it was no problem driving 15 minutes to the beach. The area had plenty of choices to choose from to eat out. There was road work going on but thats happening all over San Diego. Hotel staff was great and i would definitely stay there again.
