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.

Good value for the area, which is mostly much more expensive. Parking was a bit inconvenient, but having a guaranteed parking spot is great at the beach.
