Worth the price we paid for, don't expect greatness at the cost of staying. Noisy - fwy runs parallel and noise 24/7, floors are non carpet, so they feel sticky/dirty, carry socks or slippers to walk around. The room was a non smoke, but I doubt it as soon you walk in the smell hits you, could be the sheets if they share among the room that are ok with smoke carries the smell over even after wash. The wall art are filled with dust. Breakfast no warm food, yogurt, bananas, oranges, coffee & granola bars, decent for the price. Big plus!!!! Parking is included this is huge... if all you need is a place to crash this is a perfect option, bring ear plugs.

There indeed are roaches, I saw one crawling on the side of the wall one morning. Friendly ladies all around the area. Water indeed does not get hot. Everything else is average. It’s doable, I did it, simply needed a place to crash and this place worked in that manner. Place is a worst case scenario booking, if I can’t find anything else. So if you have other options, or if you have the money, don’t be cheap, get a nicer place. Otherwise, you get what you expect after reading my review

This is an older property that has been updated through multiple layers of paint. When we pulled in the levels of Constantine wire were a bit overwhelming. However, it was clean, quiet, and easily accessed to our daily adventures. On our final night, there was a loud and obnoxious crowd in the room above us that was not addressed that were still partying when we left at 3:45am. Security had been very present up until this point. Local police were constantly in the area and there was a large tower right outside the hotel where police viewed the area around the clock. We would probably return to this hotel in the future.

Clean room, pillows way too full (personal opinion). Breakfast area was limited and nearly empty an hour before closing and told nothing was left to refill stock. ie: yogurt. Basic place for good price on hotwire if you don't need anything fancy.

You get what you pay for. Decent room for the money. Older decor. Don't expect the same level as a Hampton or Holiday Inn Express. Close to San Diego. Right off main highway. Room was clean. Staff was nice. Breakfast was continental style.
