Great location for ease to San Diego Zoo and. Seaward. Great staff. Able to get adjoining rooms. No discernible noise from interstate traffic. Nice rooms. For some reason the flooring turns people bare feet black.

Nice little motel off i5 in a complex with other hotels. Has a breakfast restaurant in the lobby. Parking was a little tight near the rooms, but otherwise our stay was nice. The pool area is clean and well lit and was full of families with children, so the area is very safe

Shopping for Miss Daisy

Just went for a 3-day weekend with our granddaughter so we can buy her some clothes for winter and just have fun with her. We went to the beach with clothing stores and the good restaurants she had a great time that's all we wanted.

Overall Great!!

Only negatives we had were the mattresses were uncomfortable, they were very hard and springy and we somehow ended up in a ADA room I guess because the shower was horrible, we couldn’t shower without the floor getting soaked so we had to use a lot of towels. Everything else was amazing!!! And great location.

Friendly staff. Good price. Convenient location. Great Waffle House. Comfortable pool. Dated rooms but in good repair. Floor was dirty. Walking barefoot yielded dirty black feet.
