This property should be condemned or at least be inspected by osha and the health department ASAP. We checked in pretty late at night, we came into a room that had a big puddle on the bedroom floor because of an active water leak. The room stunk and had visible mold. The bathroom walls were dirty and damaged. We cleaned up the puddle and after flushing the toilet later, the puddle reappeared in the bedroom. The water was seeping up through the floor. This seems to be an ongoing problem for that room because the entire floor looks like it’s had years of water damage and never replaced. We would’ve stayed the first night if we could breathe. It was truly a hazard. We called the front desk and they could not accommodate us with a different room, so we had to leave and find a different hotel in San Diego in the middle of the night. The girl at the front acted as if she’s heard it a million times and did not seem to care. She said we’d have to talk to the hotel manager if we wanted a refund. We called Expedia and our credit card company immediately. We didn’t expect high end for the price, but we thought we would get at least a comfortable and clean, hazard free, room. Nope, not here. This is not the place. We did get a beautiful room, but it was at a different hotel at 3am.

Very clean. Very near a lot of restaurants, convenient stores, and the missiin valley mall, so there's the convenience of having that near by. Private parking garage. Beds were comfortable, not stiff. Internet offered. There's a pool and jacuzzi, and a small laundry room. Overall, great experience.

BEWARE!!! DO NOT STAY HERE. DO NOT CHANCE IT. I give 5 stars for the shower's water pressure, but all else deserves a -5. The door to the room was jammed and had to be shoved with full body weight in order for it to open/close. The wooden door appeared to have expanded due to moisture, not allowing it to fit within the doorframe any longer. Extremely strong musty smell upon entering. The smell stayed on us and all our clothes. I had to wash everything we had packed, even if we did not use/wear it all. The carpet felt damp throughout the room. The shower was dirty and covered in hair. The tub spout continuously ran, which was more than a trickle. There was no trash can anywhere in the room. The phone in the room was missing the phone cord so we had to call the front desk from our cell phone. The bunkbed intended for the kids was beyond wobbly, making it very unsafe. The elevator was out of order and we were on the third floor. The parking garage was like a junkyard. When we spoke to staff about the missing trash can and phone cord, they were unphased by it and we were delivered a small trash can. Maintenance came by the next day and provided us a phone cord and an aerosol can of glade air freshener that was broken so we were given a small Allen wrench to use in order to spray the air freshener. We were instructed to leave the air fresher and wrench outside our door when we were done using it. Do NOT believe the pictures. A Motel 6 is a MAJOR upgrade from this joke of a hotel.

The property itself was decent. A place for a low price. The beds both had stains on them and the shower and toilet would randomly run for no reason throughout the night. The rooms are right next to the freeway making it noisy at night. There is very limited parking and very small spaces. You get what you pay for though. Not a bad place for a single night stay.

Sadly I feel like I got hotel catfished. You look at the pics and the property looks nice. The rooms look great. Then you get there and the parking is not great. There is spaces in a garage under the actual hotel areas but it’s riddled with leaking pipes and water damage. I feel like at some point this place is going to collapse. The lobby and staff a good so no issue there however the room…oh man the room. You walk in and it smells of mildew. The carpets are filthy. The couch looks unsafe to sit on it’s so nasty. The bed was fine thank goodness. The bathroom however has mold on the ceilings and the tub feels like it’s going to eventually fall through the floor and into the room below. I was so happy I just needed a quick night of sleep here to be honest. This place needs an overhaul pronto!

The parking deposit was not disclosed anywhere until arrival. Paid a deposit to park overnight, plus an additional fee per car. We had 2 vehicles and parking alone, the total was $75 of unexpected charges before even getting a key to a room. The first room given to me seemed like a housekeeper hasn't touched it since the 80's. Very strong smell of mold and mildew, stains on the couch, rust in the bathtub, and wallpaper peeling. Went back to front desk and immediately switched rooms. To my surprise, the second room smelled like soap. Seems very strange to me to distribute rooms without quality inspections. Both rooms were on the same floor, but complete opposites when it came to cleanliness. The following morning, the fire alarm went off. Upon calling front desk, they told us that not all guests were notified of said fire drill. Seems strange to hold a property-wide fire drill but not inform ALL of your guests. The fire alarm was going off before 10am. Imagine waking up in a panic because the fire alarm is going off, then having a hard time falling back to sleep. Checkout wasn't until noon but we ended up checking out at 10am. There were far too many issues and hidden fees that were not disclosed until after checking in. The gym was also closed, and the underground parking didn't feel safe at all. Also, the property is poorly lit with some exit signs not illuminated at all. As a first time visitor, it left an impression on me, but not in a good way. Won't stay here ever again!

Don't waste you're money!

Room walls were dirty. Night stand lamps didn't work but the one reason i would never go back or recommend this place is because the toilet was clogged before we set foot in the room. I called for maintenence and the maintenence guy came and handed me a plunger for me to fix it. Why are they charging for maintenence if they make the guest do the work! My wife spoke to 2 guys upon checking out and they basically sided with the maintenence guy. Didnt bother to actually investigate why maintenence did that.

The location is great. Unfortunately, the hotel was not. The hotel smelled like mold. The room looked like it had not been cleaned or dusted in months. The shower only ran hot water. They sent maintenance to fix the shower but it only fixed temporarily and then it went back to hot water again. I would never stay here again.

The layout of the property is decent, but the interior, especially the bathrooms,definitely needs work. They're not in terrible condition, but they're run-down enough to make you second-guess your decision. It’s not quite bad enough to turn around and leave, but let’s just say. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again just based on interior.

Please Expedia, do not promote this business. I wish I could get my money back. The elevator to take you to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd floors shakes really bad & closes on you as you’re trying to get on & off the elevator. It’s not safe. They do not offer breakfast in the morning. They charge you $15.00 a day to park your car in the parking lot. The water pressure fluctuates as you’re taking a shower. The toilet is really loud when you flush. The pillows were hard & flat. The pullout couch bed didn’t have pillows. The tv only got 3 clear channels. All the others were scrambled or blacked out. The room lighting was very dark. The pool lights don’t come on at night. You will be swimming in the dark at night. That too is a safety hazard. I again really wish I hadn’t booked there. You should really take them off your website.
Pull out sofa bed w/no pillows. The bedding was very thin.
Only three flat hard pillows. The rooms were dark & the air was very musty/humid.
