It was not like the pictures. I had wanted a nice hotel to celebrate my best friend's birthday. This is an old motel with outdoor hallways. The room had a terrible smell, scratchy sheets, and very uncomfortable beds. There was a 2-3" gap between the floor and the bottom of the door which allows bugs to enter. There were minimal channels on the TV and the staff refused to reimburse me for our second night when we checked out early. The only redeeming thing about our stay was the friendliness of the staff member that checked us in and the 24-7 Italian food place nearby that delivered.

When my partner and I checked in, everything seemed good initially. We only stayed for one night and checked out immediately the next morning. Upon checking out, we noticed that my partner has 7+ bed bug bites all over his right elbow and arm area. We contacted the property immediately and they said they would close off the room and do inspections, and they would get back to me eventually. They in fact would not get back to us, only speaking to me when I call first. They said that the inspections came up with nothing. I also offered to email over all the picture proof we have of the bites, but they said it would “not be necessary.” As much as everything else was alright, this left an extremely bad taste in our mouths. We have had to spend extra time and money to deeply disinfect everything we brought to the hotel with us so as to not bring bed bugs into our home. Would not recommend.

Good hotel in hotel circle area at a great price.

Weather was perfect out so we went to the pool. Had to take our towels from the bathroom because all the pool towels were used up....We think.. We did see a towel being used by people that had a brown strip on it and there were some in the return bins. This was around 3pm and a lot of people were checking in and waiting to use the pool. The room was cool... The bed was a little too hard for our liking though. We would defiantly stay here again if the pricing stays similar which was very reasonable.

This is a basic hotel/motel that is clean and comfortable. It is not fancy, but has just enough bells and whistles to make for an enjoyable stay. The pool and hot tub are an added bonus, and the two on-site restaurants are decent. We will be staying here again on our next trip to San Diego.
