When looking on Google Maps, the area looks kind of weird, but when I got there, it was great. Very safe, I never felt like I was in danger at all, especially as a female staying alone. Everything was walkable and if not, it was just a 5-15 min Uber drive away. Perfect location, and I have every intention of staying here again the next time I'm in town!

We'll be back!
We stayed in one of the larger suites due to an extended six day stay. Great location near all the sites we were interested in. Well taken care of property, clean comfortable room and great service. The office staff was very helpful and provided a very good continental breakfast. We'll be back!

Great staff, meh motel, very loud & uncomfortable
First, this is a motel, not a hotel. I wish that had been disclosed. It had all of the issues that motels have—no way to stop the noise from outside the room, no soundproofing in the walls to stop the noise of even low voices talking in the rooms next door. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, but the room was clean and well-appointed. Staff were super nice and helpful, top notch. Location was okay. Overall, very meh.

The hotel is convenient to the SDSU campus. It is nothing fancy, but offers everything I need on a trip: a clean room, good internet, and decent breakfast in the morning, all at a good value.
