Right off the 5 South frwy or easily take the trolley and city bus to Downtown San Diego as well San Ysidro border.
Rates are most definitely very good compared to others nearby.
Budget friendly. Room was clean. The surrounding neighborhood might me a little bit rough but the hotel staff and room is good. If you are not a picky customer this place if for you.
The hotel was easy to get to off hwy 5. Well maintained interior and exterior. AC unit worked great, staff and management friendly and courteous. Small attractive hotel/motel and quiet during my stay. Good value for the price
The property wasn’t hard to find the property was quieter than I expected for the area. the staff was helpful and fast reacting. The room was clean no complaints from the room
Honestly I thought it would be ghetto, but I was left with my mouth open, everything was great, clean, friendly, and the room was super clean smelled awesome, and the restroom was also very clean, the shower head is better then what I got at home. Over all I was very satisfied and happy 😊 with this hotel. Thanks for your awesome service and hospitality.
My go to spot. Not luxury, but it's convenient for me to walk and pick up my car from storage on base. Staff is always available. It's my stop between my home The US and my home Mexico!
