Nick was so helpful. Breakfast had many options and was perfect. The rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The little store had every kind of amenity that we needed. The views were amazing, and the furniture was comfortable. They offer free rides to Marine Base & several places in old town which made the trip much more interesting. All staff gave us excellent care. We would definitely stay at this motel again. We had 8 people in our group. Everyone of us were amazed with the service!

We came for my sonā€˜s graduation from MCRD SD, and chose this location based on recommendations in Marine parent groups. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the extra little touches for Marine families made it special. The rooms were very clean, and I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay.

We booked this hotel because of the airport shuttle service. Between the time that we called for pick up and got to the hotel it was about 45 minutes partly because the shuttle driver was also picking up other guests elsewhere. They only have a shuttle every hour so we had to leave at 5 AM. The hotel itself was fine but close-by dining was not so fine.
