The room was clean. No one was available at the front desk when checking in and checking out. I had to wait both times. To checkout I waited 10 minutes. I ended up leaving the key on the counter.

The breakfast menu was fresh and had a wonderful variety of options that were different for the three(3) days of my stay there. The staff were so friendly and helpful with great customer service. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Best hotel I’ve ever been to.

Motel for hotel prices. Dirty, broken furniture, hair in beds, bathroom old and dirty, loud, thin walls, very uncomfortable overall. Would pay $49.99 for an emergency place to stay. Can’t believe we paid over $200 for this dirty motel.

The hotel is difficult to review because it's a new hotel that seemed to be built cheaply. Positives: Housekeeping did a good job cleaning our room. The kids enjoyed the pool.

Everything was perfect. I would recommend this hotel, and would stay again if in San Diego. Clean room, polite and helpful staff, full bar which was perfect to sit and unwind after fighting traffic on a long trip.
