This is an older property. It is clean and staff seem pretty involved and not complacent like some places. Easy freeway access and plenty of local restaurants and about 25 minutes from downtown San Diego and other San Diego attraction. The room was bigger than expected.

I stayed on the second floor and I was woke up three times in the middle of the night. People were moving around all through the night. There were loud banging noises and shouting also. I won't recommend anyone to stay on this property. It was also my first time ever staying here.

The room was not clean at all! I paid $20 to check in early and ended up having to pretty much clean the room myself.

If you're staying more than a few days, you must ask for more towels several times. They don't do housekeeping everyday if you're staying a longer duration. If you're doing laundry there, be sure to bring quarters because the front desk limits the amount per day. They don't have refrigerator or microwave in the room. Fewer amenities, lower cost.
