It was a well maintained, and clean property. The staff was great and the rooms had all we needed for our stay. It has decent parking and the room has air conditioning that really cooled the room down super quickly. This was our second stay at this hotel and will book it again the next time we are in the area.

The room was clean and we enjoyed the pool. But there were 2 dead water bugs in our room on the floor. The staff was nice, the parking was right in front of our room, which was nice. It’s close to the San Diego Safari Park.

We have stayed here multiple times , and have always been pleased with the amazing staff . The owners have been remodeling over last couple years, and it’s looking better . The only thing that is sometimes a bit troublesome is other guest noises. But, the trade off is having friendly staff each time we come back .

Reasonably clean property, a little run-down but it was an affordable and appropriate place to stay for a short night. I would not recommend for its luxury or amenities, but I would recommend for its functionality and free parking. The staff were also kind and helpful, they allowed for early check-in and were very accommodating. The price was also the best in the area, so I recommend it for its affordability!
