This is a fun mid-century hotel located on the famous Mission Valley Hotel Circle. The rooms are clean and updated but the hotel still retains that magical mid-century feel. Stay in the heart of the city at half the price of neighboring hotel chains and enjoy the fund of this mid-century gem.

This was a great place to stay for my family! I called ahead and asked for a crib or pack-n-play for my 2 year old to sleep in and they had it set inside the room before we even arrived. I will say the beds were not that comfortable and they don't do comforter sets on the beds so the blankets they used just seemed kinda scratchy, but I appreciated the fact they were trying to save energy and water with them. There are also no microwaves in the room, but you can rent one for a fee per day OR they have a community one in the laundry. We didn't have a chance to go to the breakfast spot, but did try the mexican restaurant and it was okay... the food was pretty good, but the service wasn't super great, we kinda felt like we were forgotten. The hot tub and pool were super clean even after the heavy amount of rain we got while staying there and any time we requested a room refresh it was done super quick and everything looked great. Overall for the price we paid, this was a great stay!

Very cute little hotel! Got a complimentary upgrade maybe because it wasn’t filled to capacity! We stayed in the main building where the lobby is. Was a cute and clean little room! Felt clean. AC was cold at night but we turned on the heat. Wish there were more blankets or a heavier blanket than the thin one provided. But other the. That it was great! Cozy and comfortable! Lovely decor! And wonderful location! Would definitely recommend and stay again! I wish I tried the food.
