The property is located in an ideal location; close to everything but not in the middle of the noise. The room/suite was great, the bathroom is a bit small around the sink. The check I. Was done at a different hotel, the directions could be better explained. Also, it would be helpful to have the other hotel’s phone number in the room for easy access. Will definitely stay there again.

The pictures on Expedia were very deceiving. The carpet was all stained. The couches had huge stains on them. The room smelled like mold and was very muggy, the air conditioning unit wasn’t working properly and was very very loud. We could not sleep. We left at 4:30 in the morning because the room was just too inhabitable.

five parking spots for about 20 units is ridiculous specially by the beach. desk worker for check out was rude over me accidentally grabbing her pen to sign. room fans were dusty and window cover was halfway off like if someone tried to break in. did not even stay the night , chulavista ghetto motels are very much accommodating for much lower price.

Great location, multiple options for parking near the beach. Only issue was the sink in the bathroom took far too long to drain. Decent price for the location, would still stay again.
