Great hotel for the price.

Hotel was good. Very clean, nice little cafe. Parking wasn’t an issue. Easy access to the Train station. My only complaint is that the WiFi during our stay was awful. This usually wouldn’t be a problem, but Verizon appeared to have a dead zone at the hotel. Other than that it was a great stay and would recommend staying here.

The location is highly convenient, just off I-5, making it easy to get around - Coronado Island, the airport & downtown all within 15 mins. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, making for an enjoyable stay. One minor downside: no tea kettle or coffee maker in the room, but it wasn’t a big issue.

The beds are solidified clouds. The TV is big and equipped with Direct TV. Room didn't smell like tobacco even after you blast the cold AC. The coffee shop is great and delicious. No shady suspects in the area at all. Great stay. Oh! You get 30 percent off at the coffee shop if you're staying at in the Hotel!! Hope this helps someone decide 🤘

The cafe was great, good options made with actual, real food, (real eggs, bacon) not the powder/rubber you normally get with free continental. I also had a mazapan latte that was fantastic! While the meals are not included with the price of your stay, they are discounted if you are a guest, and the prices were very reasonable, much cheaper than a Dennys for a example, and much better quality, we paid about $25 for two meals and two specialty coffees. There is also an arcade area, great if you have kids and they show movies at the pool. There is also a pit in the pool area where you can make smores, they even include the skewers when you buy the little smores kit. Room was basic but clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Close to the freeway.

Second time staying here and everything has been good so far. People are not too loud, area isn’t sketchy. There’s the trolley and a lot of fast foods options near the area. Beds are pretty comfy, I always judge by their pillows and they are great. Bathroom is basic, will have to say that the water pressure for the shower is amazing. Definitely will keep coming back

It was a very cool vibe but the rooms didn’t smell clean. Our toddlers socks were filthy after 5 mins of putting them on and him walking around the room. And it wouldn’t kill them to use fabric softener or detergent that smells cleans

This was a very affordable hotel, but they needed to do things to make that a reality. The room was old but had fresh paint. The curtain didn't cover the window enough to keep out the light, a little rust in the bathtub, not the cleanest bathroom I've ever seen, and there wasn't a frig or microwave. It wasn't the worst and I was okay with it for the price. It was loud due to proximity to the highway, I imagine staying on the pool side would have been better.
