2 star motel
This is a 2 star motel, not a 3.5 star hotel. Yes it has a nice sized pool and standard jacuzzi, but it’s basically a Motel 6. The maid service and front desk are great. But this motel is super basic, and still charges $24/night for parking ! Rooms are clean. But you walk in the room and it constantly smells like “burnt heater.” The bathrooms have no ventilation either. So you have to open the hotel windows just to vent the room. And it’s cold outside ! I had a hard time sleeping because it smelled like burnt heater (sorry I can’t describe it any other way). But you also had to run the fan and/or open the windows or else it would smell worse. And the weird thing is there is a small refrigerator in between the beds. I thought my ears were ringing , but it was the refrigerator. Also, there are no elevators. And the tv did not have basic picture quality. Thankfully it was a quiet motel. But I also I didn’t like that they give you two small pillows for each bed. I just wish the reviews were accurate, so people know what they are getting into. I’m posting this review, so hopefully it helps someone. Overall we will not be returning. We can find better hotels for the same price elsewhere. Our uber driver said hotels on the other side of the freeway are much better.

The customer service at this hotel was great! Very accommodating and polite, which provided an overall great experience. There was an issue with the heater in the first room we had, but the staff acted quickly and moved us to a room with even better accommodations. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the San Diego area!

We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is a little dated and very humid in our room. The AC was freezing and would not adjust at all. Parking was spendy, so just wished it was complimentary. Nice pool and hottub. Good drinks at the bar before we went to dinner. Would stay again, just might not do a rental car (Ubers and Lyfts were reasonable).

Staff is always friendly. Rooms are always top tier clean and the pricing is reasonable on top of being in the most convenient area of mission valley. Next to the freeway.

The property was close to various attractions and easy to access from the freeway. What I didn’t like was the property was outdated and walls were thin.

Room was far away from front desk area. Charged for parking which is a bad thing to add on after you arrive! This should be shown on the website when you book the room. It is done by several hotels i've stayed at and it's wrong.

Fantastic
This is our go-to home away from home. We've been using this hotel for 2 decades and we're never disappointed. It has a homey atmosphere, great bartenders, spacious pool area and comfortable rooms. It's a great place for families; close to Old Town, Fashion Valley, the Zoo & Balboa Park.

I would stay again
The stay was great/good , not excellent though. The check in staff was excellent though. I'm used to there being extra blankets in the rooms - I know I could have called for one. TV was outdated and the remote connection to the TV had lots of issues. The fa/ac unit inside the room was very loud. Pillows felt worn down. The place was clean and tidy, lots of towels. I loved the "late" check out of 11:00am. For all the parking they had available, felt a bit expensive to have to pay 25$ per night. They had dog relief areas and dog potty bags which was so nice. Nice and quiet overall. If I had too, I would stay again.
