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.

Super cute motel! Hassle free, fast check in. Close to highway if driving, a 5 min walk from public transit and easily accessible to downtown. Next door to a casino. Had pool, fire pit, and indoor and outdoor games. There was a coffee shop at the motel. Very clean rooms. Quiet in motel and nearby. Area at night is a bit sketchy at times but had no issues. Only downside was that there was no mini fridge in the room. Would stay here again.

Very clean facility, friendly staff and easy and plenty of parking. Also good location, not too far from dining and shopping and access to big roads. Room was clean, immediate hot water and good pressure in the shower. The only think I was missing was mini fridge in the room and maybe microwave, but I can easily overlook that for all the thinks mentioned above and the price. I am glad and happy that we have stayed there.

I booked this for my daughter and her boyfriend. After check out they tried to charge my daughter for a pillow case that she knows for a fact that she never took.. she then told them to check everywhere. She said that they probably miscounted it and swears that she never took a pillowcase. The cards were deactivated three times so they had a hard time getting in their room and then the pool was closed on a few days that they were there.

We loved our stay! There are parts of these older rooms that I wish they’d updated! Particularly, the bathroom is fine but un-updated. Also, the light over the sinks need to be done away with. It was difficult to do our makeup under that dimmer light! Only other thing is the lack of a mini-fridge! That would make a huge difference! We would have liked to have kept our drinks cold and to have kept left overs from our dinners! Otherwise, the staff was kind and the rooms are very clean! Location is right near transportation and the freeway is super close! You can get where you’re going with little effort!

Our family of two adults & two teens stayed one night. The room was pretty small but the beds were comfortable. The decor & theme of the hotel is cute & they have a cafe with arcade games connected to the office. We appreciated having a breakfast spot right across from our room. The young lady at the cafe was great & hardworking! This would be a great budget stay for a family with young kids. They have pool & bikes that they lend out. The location has plenty of bike trails nearby & was convenient to Balboa Park & other San Diego local attractions.
