The hotel was very centrally located and there was plenty of parking. The hotel itself could just use a little upkeep, but for the price we were happy. It was also very convenient that Panera was right next door. We also went to a good barbecue place across the street. And we walked across the street to the sports Arena and went to the swap meet in the morning. We also use the pool and hot tub which they supply towels for. I will probably stay here again.

The property is great for families, they have a very nice pool and the premises are very well kept. They have vending machines in case you need a drink and there are many restaurants within walking distance. We loved it.

The front desk staff was great and friendly. The only downside was that the rooms need better cleaning. My 1st floor room had spider webs, there was no housekeeping on 2nd night, the 3rd night they made up the bed but did not provide towels. There were some kids knocking on people’s door and running away. That was my experience on this location.

Title: Overpriced, Poorly Maintained, and Misleading Photos I paid $450 for two nights for my granddaughter’s UCSD graduation and was highly disappointed. The property is nowhere near as bright or clean as the glorified photos online. My first room had a broken, loud AC and a strong laundry soap odor. While checking in, I witnessed staff laughing at another guest's complaint. Because I was on a tight schedule, they moved me to a second room. The AC worked there, but it completely lacked the microwave, iron, and blow dryer the first room had. The desk unhelpfully said they \"doubted\" they had extras. The facilities are terrible. The elevator gets stuck on the 2nd floor because the doors won't close fully without being forced shut. The ice machines were broken and filthy. Parking is $20 but the spaces are dangerously narrow, and the lot between Buildings A & B was completely packed while Building D sat empty. To top it off, my granddaughter's graduation was at 8 AM Sunday. At 6 AM, I requested a late checkout to avoid rushing. I was rudely told that late checkout was only until 11:30 AM, and any minute past that would incur a $57 fee for the first hour, going up to a half-day charge after that. In 50 years of travel, I have never experienced such inflexible, greedy policies. Overpriced and stressful.

Bad side , parking is mandatory $20 a day! How is that? They will get a $100 deposit and then when i checked out the next day , they informed me that they subtract the parking fee, even if i dont park on their vicinity! Poor information, why? They put me in building D and they did not inform me that there’s a going through on the vicinity instead they want you to drive way outside. Monochrome voice of the staffs , how can you stay in a cold approach? One note, retrain the staffs , informed and make some directions as to where to go , the parking must have an options and not mandatory

I was honestly shocked that there were roaches in our room. We only stayed for one night. Also the ice machine near our room was out of order. The pool was nice and the staff was helpful when their affiliate did not send my booking in time. It took a few hours so we had to wait in the lobby until rectified.

The bed was fine. It was ok. But the main reason for staying there is that that when I toggled the Expedia website, my only request was for an early pickup to the Airport. Upon arriving, they said they couldn’t do it, even though there was a shuttle parked up front. But they said they could get a taxi in the morning no problem. Morning came. The guy couldn’t do it. Fortunately another guest let us drive back to the rent a car place at the airport.

This hotel needs to be discounted its just a step up from a motel. The property is spread out the side where we stayed was very run down and had homeless campers right outside. The lobby light fixtures are falling apart. The room was not the best, air conditioner smelled, toilet was dirty, dead roach in the light fixtures and spiders everywhere. There was atleast an inch gap around the door so light shines through and bugs can get in. Ice machine was broken but good thing there's a gas station across the street.

The room was pretty basic. It had your basic amenities. Water pressure in the shower was weak. Air Conditioner worked well. Parking was available though I don't know that it was worth $20/day. I think if you're a guest, it should already be included to make up for basic-ness of the room. Mini-fridge was pretty shallow. Bathroom light made this really annoying buzzing noise. Toilet needs to be reinstalled/reinforced - kept hitting the wall everytime someone got up from it. Again... just basic. Perks were Panera was right next door and Phil's BBQ was across the street. And on a clear night you could see the Sea World drone show. Oh and in terms of convenience, it was in a pretty central location with plenty of fast food, markets and shopping close by. Would I stay here again? Maybe not but it served its purpose at the time.

This is an old motel being refurbished. Towels don’t appear to be washed thoroughly they’re white, but with a tinge of gray. Where are the towels are washed it is filthy the rooms smell like smoke. Everything was fresh and new. As far as accessories of the room. It’s going to take a little bit more to achieve companies. Standards price is fair and close to a lot of things to be in the area if you don’t mind those little things

It was difficult to get into the parking lot because all entrances/exits were not open. Once we got into the parking lot, it was even more difficult to find the main office to check in. Signage was pretty much nonexistent. Parking lot fills up after dark. Spaces are very small and difficult to navigate. Parking lanes/aisles are very narrow and difficult to navigate when parking lot is full.
Saturday night and no desirable snacks available in lobby. Clerk told us to go down the street to the gas station and convenience store. Not the greatest neighborhood to be walking in past dark.
Air-conditioning smelled like baby powder. Must have had a dryer sheet or something stuck in it for that purpose. UGH. Room refrigerator motor was loud and ran all night.
We stay at Wyndham resorts when we travel with our dog and have been very happy with the accommodations and amenities provided. This hotel is definitely a step below that. No frills. No breakfast. Only shower amenities provided. Would not recommend.

We had a great stay here! Beds were comfy, location is near the swap meet which was nice. Only issues were that when we checked in, I guess they overbooked certain rooms. So everyone who had an upgraded King room was given a standard double bed. The shower would clog and the ice machine didn’t work. The TV and the in room phone also did not work at all, and when we tried to call the office using our personal phones, the line was disconnected. Also, the power kept going out!

I was charged a deposit twice. I asked the staff they told me not to worry that it would be taken care of while I’ve checked out went to eat breakfast. My card was ran an additional $105.91. I had to come back to the hotel deal with the same staff. They let me know that they don’t have a manager on the weekends. I’m from Arizona so this is very difficult for me because now I have to catch my flight and go back. I called customer service. They said there’s nothing they can really do besides for make a complaint but at this point, my card is being ran by this hotel and there’s nothing I can do about it and there’s nobody to talk to customer service. Let me know that somebody would reach out to me in a week so as of right now, I am out of $205.91. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone at first sight. It looks like a great place to stay but once you get inside the room, don’t make coffee because roaches will come out of the coffee maker. There was dead roaches inside of the hairdryer bag. I wasn’t gonna bring that up, but since they want to charge my card, I think that the public should know.

The property was OK. But there was an issue with my confirmation. Originally, they said they could not find the reservation. Luckly, I had the confirmation number, but it took them a while to find it and check me in. They said it had something to do with being booked via a third party (Expedia I suppose). Not sure where the problem is (Expedia, the hotel, or some place else), but Luckly they had a room. It is something that needs to be fixed.

Bed quality was like sleeping on the ground with a thin sheet. Room felt like they tried to make a prison cell look nice but failed. Areas outside of room had trash all over and was super run down. They even tried to put us in a room that we never booked and they still ended up not putting us in a room we booked. Staff was just nasty to us and didn’t care about any of the concerns we had. What they advertised was far from what you really got or saw. Never ever would recommend anyone here and highly suggest black listing them. Price also did not match how bad it was.

The property appears to have discrepancies between what is advertised on their website and what is actually provided on-site. The website states that “hot breakfast is available,” however, this is not offered. Instead, guests are provided with a 10% discount for a nearby Panera location.

Additionally, the in-room information indicates that housekeeping services include turn-down service, fresh towels, and trash removal. During our stay, these services were not provided unless specifically requested.

I also reached out to the property manager to share these concerns; however, the response felt dismissive and lacked empathy or acknowledgment of the issues raised. Rather than addressing the concerns directly, the explanation provided focused on justifications for the discrepancies.

I am sharing this feedback in hopes that it will be reviewed and addressed to ensure future guests receive accurate information and a consistent level of service.

The staff was friendly, the room looked clean.

For $20 you can park your car in the hotel lot, and the staff said that there were security guards. Panera restaurant is co-located, which is convenient.

the overall stay was great! clean room and helpful staff- everything is so close to us which made the stay better. my only real critique was the odd spacing in the room. we had a big gap between the bed and the bathroom and there was no table or anything to fill the space. additionally, I wish there was curtains or something to let natural light in but the \"curtains\" that are there just cover the whole window- so you're either fully exposed or just working with darkness and lamp lighting. other than that awkward layout,everything was 5/5!
