Decent place for the price. $100 for a quick night in San Diego isn't something you can easily find. So you'd expect a place like this with run down buildings and a sense of being unsafe. You get what you pay for? However the staff was friendly, the room clean and the bed soft. What more could I ask for when looking for an extra cheap place to sleep for the night?

The entire front desk staff are friendly, very kind & quickly making me another door key card when I have locked myself out of my room. I don’t remember her name she is pretty, Asian, dresses impeccably deserves a shout out for going above & beyond the regular duties by giving me a medical discount for the day when in conversation I told her that I had a Dr appt with my surgeon & my stay here in the San Diego area is entirely for medical reasons. A couple guests here have shared with me that the grounds here remind them of Hawaii. There are beautiful tress, shrubs, vines and plants galore all around easily seen when using the walkways. There’s a fountain in a pond that not only provides a beautiful scene it also gives off the soothing qualities for relaxing & calming for guests in that area. I have extended my stay here now several times a day each time due to the planning & scheduling movers to load up out of my storage unit & transport my belongings to their warehouse for 30 days and then on to Texas where I will be living near family.

You could tell the property just wasn’t maintained. The faucets in the bathroom were rotted, you could see an open space between the air conditioner and the outside letting bugs in, the carpets were filthy, no elevator to second floor so all suitcases had to be carried up stairwells, parking crowded. The pool looked clean but we did not have time to use it. No breakfast or any food just coffee available. Desk closed at night no staff. At least a place to rest your head for the night in a pinch and pretty close to airport and car rental. Never again but about $$95 a night.

Front desk employees are nice and helpful. I locked myself out, the gentleman at the front desk quickly issued me a new one one after I showed my ID and gave my room number. The grounds are beautiful with many different plants, trees & bushes. The pool & hot tub are clean & well maintained. The fountain needs to be shocked with chlorine as the water is green with growth on the bottom. Its relaxing sound adds a nice touch for guests to hear on that side of the large community. Top loading large capacity Speed Queen washers only $2.50 a load & 45 minute running dryers gave me plenty of time to dry a large load of clothes last night. This older community consisting of overnight hotel guests & monthly renters in which some have even furnished their rooms with their own furnishings. Vending machines are well stocked. The ice machine is located next to them & works well.
