Real pleasant staff ease of check in. Great restaurants in the area!
Clean room with comfortable bed, fridge & good shower. Good free TV channels for sports & movies. Close to freeway but no traffic noise. Large mall with good restaurants, movies, etc 2 miles down road. Bsasic family owned, updated motel. Reasonably priced and staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’ve stayed twice and will return because location is close to hospitals.
it clean, man who checked me in was really nice. it is a older property but seems well maintained but the room did have a old closet smell, nothing a few blasts of fabreeze could not clear up. it is a economy hotel so must put things in perspective.
I had a wonderful stay. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. My room was clean, and comfortable. The location was great! with plenty of stuff just a short walk away. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone.
We have stayed at this motel several times and we’ve had no problems whatsoever. The staff is courteous and the motel is decent. We can go to the store and there are several places to eat within wakking distance.
A safe place to stay while I attended a concert at Petco. The a/c worked great, the place was clean though it did have a slight odor of cigarette smoke. Plenty of parking. I recommend for friends going out and not having to pay the crazy prices of Gaslamp or other downtown hotels. Staff was very friendly.
