Absolutely loved my stay. The room was clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was great and convenient. It all had a fun vibe. It would be nice if the fire pit (not necessarily the pool) was open later in the evening with possibly a low level or no music and quiet time rules.

When we first pulled up i was very nervous as looks a bit sketchy but was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The room was very clean and the beds were the most comfortable beds we have ever had at a hotel. The pool was well kept and had a bunch of games around you could play such as Jenga Connect 4, and Cornhole. The laundry room was clean and cost $2 for the washer and $2 for the dryer. The front desk staff was very kind and all staff we came across were nothing but fantastic. They do have a little cafe and arcade but we didn't take advantage of it. Was a great location for food and was about 10 min away from the San Diego zoo. Highly recommended this hotel and will definitely stay here again

A perfect night away.

The check in process was so easy. Parking was no problem. And then we saw our room. It was perfect. Super clean. Completely remodeled and upgraded. The hotel was super close to some great restaurants and activities. We played pool at the local bar. The cafe the next morning was amazing, quick and efficient, and my drink was so good. We will absolutely be back for a longer stay so we can utilize the pool and fire pit and beach cruisers.

I booked this stay solely based off of the reviews. I do not understand how it is rated 9.2 stars? The lobby and cafe area are pristine for sure. The room has a terrible smell when walking into it which makes you automatically think its dirty. The rooms are like a Motel 6, everything just has just been repainted and cute little sayings and artwork has been updated. Furniture, showers and everything are just as old as the original property. Noisy as well from being right off the highway but I expected that. No way in hell is this place worth almost $200 a night.

Friendly staff, nice cafe with good food and coffee. We saw 2 bugs in our room but found it to be mostly clean. Comfortable beds and free parking. The pool is nice and they have a fireplace going at night. The price is its primary selling point and I would probably stay here again for a short stay.
