Very convenient location right off the 8 & the 5 in Hotel Circle, so reasonable distance to everything. Room is very basic and clean. Remodeled bedroom portion of the room, but bathroom and sink area are definitely dated. However, for the price, a great deal and well worth it if you're on a budget. Great big outdoor pool area and big hot tub. The breakfast place/waffle house attached to the hotel is great, and not to be missed!

We were able to check in early and was even upgraded from a one King bed to a 2 Queens. Every employee there was kind and eager to help. Food at the Waffle Spot was fresh and full of flavor. Will 100% come back again and will recommend to my friends and family. Additionally, the whole place was clean and I saw 0 pieces of trash around. Really great establishment you have :)

Amazing. Clean. Presentable and spotless. Towels had such minimal linting and weren’t all crazy rough. I can’t get over how good this was. Plus the discount for mid week scheduling was so good

The floors in my room were filthy dirty. My feet were black within 10 mins after I took my shoes off. The amount of flying bugs in the room was disgusting. I had to sleep in my car. The front door has several gaps allowing bugs to fly into the room. Al the bed pillows were filled with bugs. Simply disgusting!!!!

I’m a big fan of the friendly staff that greets me every time I check in. This stay was based on business that I had in San Diego. I specifically chose this hotel because it feels like home away from home. The rooms are clean, smells good, and I love the extra blanket. My room was close to the pool and parking lot but I heard nothing. They have breakfast and dinner. Both convenient and delicious.
