The area was not like great but ok, some homeless in the area specifically at night. Street parking was a good option to save $24 parking at hotel. Breakfast was reasonable. Cleaning could be better inside the room but wasn’t bad. But noise was bad. I woke up at 5 am because someone was running at upper floor probably kids but it was annoying to be up if you don’t plan to.

If you are staying at this property and have a vehicle, NOTE: you will be charged a nightly rate to park your vehicle on the property, in addition to the hotel cost. Expedia has this disclaimer buried under a link that is easily missed. When we checked in, we were asked if we had a vehicle to park, which we replied yes and we were then told it would be $24 a night in addition to the nightly hotel rate. I explained this was news to us, the employee checking us in, she mentioned other guests had also brought this issue up. It’s a ‘hooking’ strategy to display a low hotel nightly rate to get you to book. Similar to booking airline tickets they 3rd parties (buy your ticket CHEAP. Oh, you want seats? Extra $! You want a seat to AND from? Extra $! You want a life vest, oxygen mask? $$) There is street parking, but I suspect most people don’t want to park a vehicle there considering the potential safety risk. It’s close to the airport, just off the freeway, so we knew it wasn’t going to be the fanciest of locations. IF the hotel parking was enclosed, I might be OK with the additional fee, but it’s wide open, just like the street. Be aware.

Overall good experience. Building is a bit old, but maintained. Nice hot tub! Room was pretty humid though. Not sure if that’s because we are from WA and not used to it in San Diego or just the hotel?

Decent property.. Jessica at the front desk was so helpful with every thing.. felt like the decor was older.. not quite updated very well, and landlord specialish.. (door hinges painted over, etc). Comfy beds, but could definitly hear other families and running in the hallways.. the heater also seemed loud everytime it kicked on..

The staffs were a world class. Never saw such prompt responds to the calls. Room preference choice was asked and delivered by the friendly staff named, Jessica (?), great breakfast is another strong points, loved hot tub, and spacious suit with bunk beds. Room soundproofing may need some improvement but not an issue. Overall, loved to stay with the world class professional and well-dressed staffs.
