I saw pictures of a refrigerator and microwave in the room, but it was none, also I ask for extra towels for the next day, but they did not give them to me because I have to give them the dirty towels to them first in order to get clean ones, but I guess people steal towels from there? the guy from the check in not to friendly. other than that, was ok. the room was to tide with no closet.

The exterior of the property is in pretty rough shape.
Driveways and parking are horrible. The driveways are only wide enough for one vehicle. It is meant to be one way traffic; one driveway to enter and the other to exit. They have the exit driveway chained closed so you have to enter and exit through the same driveway. If you drive to the exit driveway, you have to back up through the drive aisle because there isn't enough room to turn around.
The rooms are pretty clean, but tiny. The TV was pretty outdated and they give you the remotes at the office when you check in. Yeah, remoteS. It takes two to control the TV and the satellite receiver.
Not horrible, but not worth the $400 peak pricing for a night.

Parking was good for the area. The room was cleaner than I expected. The staff did help when asked. Keep in mind this is a Motel. It is close to the beach and having super high expectations for any motel is not suggested. I was happy to have a place to stay.

The water for the shower never got hot. Great if you like cold showers.

My room was large upstairs with one bed and I enjoyed having the vehicle parked under shade when in ‘superior’ upstairs room.
Television was a middling experience with basic channels- at standard definition quality. You could get caught on a PPV premium channel (black screen) and it sort of freezes, taking about a count of 25 seconds to get off of it. You have to dodge those channels so it doesn’t tune to the black screen.

I love the economy visit experience and the part that was impressive which reminds me of home which was the non-chain unincorporated non franchise familiarity.

Clean room. Convenient free parking. Secluded private involvement that was peaceful. But bring your own bar of soap due to it being single use.

Overall, I liked the simple things that could be enjoyed as the spaciousness and tranquility that was offered.

This was the worst hotel experience I've had in decades. The room was dark, dingy, dirty. There was a deadbolt but no other security on the door to help keep you safe. The office was not available for entry. You had to conduct your business through a small opening in their window.

Is a very little room but is enough for sleeping, is not fancy but it was very clean and easy to access, we have a one bed room and was very comfortable, the parking was free and next to our room, and the price was very convenient for what we needed, I was a little expecting after reading the bad reviews but we just needed a place to sleep for the night and this was the best choice, is not a vacation destination but if you just need to rest is a good choice, clean, cozy and comfortable.

For the price you can find a better hotel if you book on time. The location is good, but the hotel is outdated. Do not stay here with family or unless you really have to. The towels were old & horrible. They felt like sand paper & as soon as they get wet they have a brown tint to them. This is a last resort hotel. The 2 story was awful with sprayed numbers on the walls an awful hinky sight to look at. Thank goodness my room was on the single unit/duplex rooms.

The floor was dirty, so my feet turned black, the bed decor sheet had some dirty spots on it, the location of the air conditioner unit was facing my head, so my upper body was very cold, the towels are clean but very scratchy.

If you’re looking for a cheap motel near San Diego, Coronado, and more, that’s safe and relatively clean, this is it. As a broke college student traveling with her partner, this is my motel of choice for 3 nights.

Check in was fast and easy, they put us in a second floor room and the motel has its own secluded, private parking lot; no need for parking on the street. We had a nicer car, so we were worried about that, but not once during the entire stay were we ever worried about the car. No shady people in the motel parking lot, felt totally safe. Even a nice popeyes right next to the motel!!

Room was relatively clean for what you pay. Shower was surprisingly great, good water pressure. Sheets were clean, had a pretty big TV. TV was semi hard to navigate. Included a HDMI cord, so we hooked up my laptop and it worked great. Included a fridge and microwave in the room.

Overall good, would stay here again. Pleasantly surprised with the quality.

Pros: felt safe, relatively clean, quick check in, free wifi, microwave and fridge, good bathroom

cons: wifi was very slow, tv hard to navigate at first

This motel is absolutely disgusting. I didn’t expect perfection but for $87 I expected it to at least be hygienic. It was so bad I’m finding it difficult to describe.
First, THERE WAS URINE IN THE TOILET AND ON THE FLOOR OF RHE BATHROOM.
There was gobs of hair and staining on all the sheets and towels. The wash clothes were so stained and they were actually rags u but in bulk at Home Depot.
There was pubic hair in the shower. EVERYTHING WAS STAINED AND LOOKED UNWASHED. The mattress cover had smears of god knows what all over it. It hadn’t been washed in a very long time.
