Great customer service . Room are cleaned well . Service animal friendly . Deposit are very reasonable.
Not too bad! The room was pretty clean and its updated for the location and price, I slept comfy the only thing that seemed out dated is the ac but it does blow super cold. The room is modern I can not complain at all. Remember you get what you pay for and you know what, I would definitely stay here again if I had another emergency.
I was completely blown away by how convenient and easy the Entire process was I was helped by a young lady named Amy, who was also very cheerful and helpful and thorough and walking me through the process. It was convenient. It was easy and I would do it again and recommended to others no hassle whatsoever.
Great experience while I’m in town for work in San Diego . Housekeeping lady’s workers amazing , hotel manager great customer service . Great location everything near by food for less next to the hotel .
I was a comfortable place to rest and it was clean , customer service was great. Overall a good experience.
Love this hotel. The room was super clean and modern. Cold refrigerator is a huge help! Stay here, you won't regret it!
One of the cleaner hotels. Staff is efficient. Neighborhood is getting cleaned up and my family and I feel safe.
The pictures match the rooms. They are small but updated and clean. You can’t beat it for the price. Office staff was friendly and helpful. Small parking but adequate. I was originally leery of staying here because of how cheap it was. I travel for work and I’ve stayed at places that were twice this price and half this nice. 10/10 would stay again. Only one minor complaint, no conditioner for your hair. Lots of shampoo but don’t forget to pack your own conditioner!
