Clean and comfortable
Location was very convenient. Staff was helpful and kind. Rooms were very clean, comfortable, and safe. I will definitely return to this location. There were no frills like a microwave or a fridge, but with the onsite cafè, we didnt need one.

I love this motel. It is so fun and stylish. It is super clean. The beds and pillows are amazing, and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. I will stay here again, and recommend this place to everyone.

The hotel is very nice in a great location at a great price. The only drawback is they do not serve any hot coffee. There is no coffee pots in the rooms. They have a restaurant that apparently opens at 7am. We have stayed there 3 times. The last 2 times we were there they opened late once and did open at all the next time. This can easily rectified by having a coffee pot in the lounge and letting people make their own coffee and charging them for it. A lot of us need our morning coffee and if this is not fixed I doubt that we will stay there again.

It's in a questionable side of San Diego but the remodeling of the place made the area looked better and felt safer. The coffee shop is good too. I would stay here again.

Could have been better experience.
Staff were efficient and professional but lacked welcoming feeling. Felt they were just there to do a job. Was there for a celebration and got back very late only to have housekeeping knock on the door and woke us up only to have them return at 9am and woke us up again after we reminded them check out wasn’t until 11.
