The staff were so helpful and very friendly which made it easier to approach them with anything needed. And the security guard on property is awesome and I think he needs a raise.lol.
I picked this motel because it was pet-friendly and it had its own courtyard parking. But the room was a shock. It smelt old and funky. Everything was damaged and dirty. I couldn’t eat in the room. A lot of the other guests looked sketchy or homeless. To get new towels, you have to give the used ones back. No microwave, no toiletries. Staff were pleasant.

Surprisingly quiet for the location but my mattress was so broken down it nearly folded in half when I sat on it.

The room was clean the bed was nice its a good cheap place you can go for a little bit
Barely any parking
Homeless people walking all around the property at 1:30am. Did not feel safe there with my children
The pillows were staines
False advertising based on pictures
Staff was most excellent! Happy, helpful and friendly. Room was clean but extremely outdated. Only soap in bathroom. No shampoo, but for the price and considering they actually had a room available during Comic-Con my stay was great.
The room was clean, however, the blankets ,towels , soap etc. really thin and cheap.
The staff was professional.
The very active train and horns were surprisingly not terrible and parking was good
The staff here is some of the best people in any place I’ve stayed, hands down. Just because it’s a motel doesn’t mean it can’t be clean, cozy and actually inviting. I’ve felt very safe here for the most part despite any sort of reputation for its location it may have. I’ve been displaced from my home and have not felt safe in a long time, but I do here. Security makes their presence known and the staff is really personable and caring.. thanks!!!
You usually get what you pay for. However, finding a motel at this price in this location was next to impossible.
Shower worked. Air conditioning worked. Room didnnot smell. No bed bugs, no roaches, no other creepy crawlers. Lights worked. Staff were courteous. There was enough parking though many spaces required good driving skills. I saw one car obnoxiously taking up two spaces. Area was quiet.
If you just need a pit stop for the night, this place will accommodate.

A not-so-great area of San Diego, but you get what you pay for. The bed was very choppy, but overall, the room was clean, and the hot water was hot. It's near a train stop, so there is the sound of a train whooshing by and an accompanying loud train whistle. I was alone, but I would not recommend it for families unless that was your only option.
Staff good. Beds and shower good. Fridge worked. Hotel is right under train tracks so occasional train whistle but we were in building 1; surprisingly quiet. Got prank call to room at 2am. Killed cockroach in the bathroom. Have some itchy bites which I hope are not bedbugs! No coffee nor restaurant nearby. Price was lower than competitors and parking was free. Only wifi if you pay.
It isn't the Taj Mahal but it is convenient and it is cost conscious. It is spread out over a decent stretch of property and still has smoking rooms. It is somewhat isolated being the only business for at least a block in either direction. As the rooms start to fill up, the darndest thing happens, the price drops. When similar places are charging $120 and up, EZ-8 stays consistent at around $80 to $90. I enjoy relaxing in the jacuzzi, late at night it is swim suit optional! Just kidding. It would be nice if they would expand the jacuzzi use to midnight or even later. The rooms are pretty basic, but homey. Give it a try. See you at the jacuzzi.

Overall the stay was fine. The room was sparse but clean and the bed was comfortable. The reason for the poor rating happened my second night there. I booked online for two nights (a Friday and Saturday), and at around 10:45pm on Saturday evening as I was sleeping the security guard pounded on my door, waking me up and saying he needed to see my ID because there wasn't supposed to be anyone in the room. Once he saw me and recognized me (from when I checked in the night before) he expressed frustration at the other staff, but it was still a deeply disruptive experience. I never got an explanation or an apology from the motel, which was disappointing. I would not stay here again.

I would NEVER consider staying at this property EVER again!!
The young lady in the morning, when I arrived too early (around 10:30 am) for check-in was wonderful, friendly, and helpful. My room wasn't ready, but that was because I showed up early. No problem, I met up with friends and then returned later after the 4 pm check-in time. I was informed by the young Hispanic woman at the front that my room wasn't ready, and it would be 30 minutes for my room to be ready. I sat in the lobby until 5 pm, watched countless guests check in and privided their room keys. I was completely frustrated that my room still wasn't ready after having showed up earlier that morning. Completely unacceptable. I expressed my disappointment with the situation (yes with a few chouce words, which I never ever do) but the young ladies attitude was really what set me off. She became unprofessional and then told me I wasn't going to get my room because of my expressions and words. IF I AM PAYING for something not getting that room is not something that should be threatened. Absolutely RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL! To make matters worse, I asked to speak to the owner and the owner doubled down and defended his employee and her rude interaction with me. So, I asked for my bags and left. Thankfully, I had friends staying in another part of town so I had a backup plan.

Place was clean . Air conditioner worked . Water pressure was good. Staff pleasant!
The location was convenient. Put the ground in the building. We're disgusting.. this place is old and broken down roaches all over the place. Trash visable. I won't come back here
It’s a rough spot. Under the freeway. Near the train depot. Paper thin walls. Very sketchy. Staff was nice and helpful but it was a horrible place to stay. I did not feel safe staying here.
I have a high tolerance for budget hotels but this one was definitely an uncomfortable experience. I’d recommend spending a bit more money to get a cleaner / safer place to stay or just book a hostel.
So my stay was, okay. The checkin staff was super friendly and helpful, but that was basically the highlight of the stay. The room (s) were sparse, and I would say surface clean - but there was a ton of stains and discoloration on the walls and in various areas that just didn't inspire good thoughts. the bathroom did not have any soap of any kind. The beds just had white sheets, no blankets or comforter (at least in the first room I was in, the 2nd room had an additional thin blanket.) I basically checked into my room, left to go to dinner and when I got back discovered my door did not lock from the outside - if I was in the room I could deadbolt it, but if I left it remained opened. Front desk was super helpful in moving me to another room that did actually lock. It did look like they were actively remodeling a few rooms, but generally the place looked and felt really run down, so maybe they are just at the beginning of the process. As a solo woman traveler, it did not inspire confidence and felt pretty sketch. I was in town to work and needed a cheap place to sleep, thats what this provided. I willl not be staying here again, especially if I'm by myself.
