My room was on the second floor at the end by the freeway. Noise was so loud I could not sleep without ear plugs. Room felt a little humid even with the fan running all night.

- Erika Paola (10/5): A good place that was close to the Viejas Arena - A bit packed if you'll planning to travel with a group of 4 people, but it's expected if you share a room. We chose to stay here the same weekend to see Ghost play in San Diego! It was serviceable, although we did have to bring our own shampoo and body wash for a more comfortable shower. The only real complaint was that the vending machine needs some maintenance. The numbered items are mixed up, and we tried getting some Oreos but the machine did not allow us to make the purchase. Other than that, this place was alright in my book.
- Roy (10/5): - Thank You!!!
- Myron (10/5): San Diego Trip - Just a half a mile west on s DZ Akins,fabulous NY style deli,Denny’s and Marie Callendars,all are next to each other.Bed was firm and comfortable
- Cielo (5/5): -
- Diem (6/5): - Staff s nice . Need more animismes
- Antonio (7/5): -
- Verified traveler (6/5): Plumbing issues - The sink was clogged up, but other than that everything was great.
- BarbaraJean (2/5): - I was completely uncomfortable staying another second there because of another guest staying there was watching us the entire time. He watch me and my daughters off load our vehicle and every time we came out of our room to get something from the car he’d stare at us. He was shirtless with tattoos all over his body. Even went as far as following us to the front desk. So I drove off and called the front. They were unable to refund me even though I explained what was going on. The front desk person just offered to walk me back to my room. Hopefully they will refund me however she told me they can’t then again offered to walk me to my room. That wouldn’t help me and my daughters if we were abducted. This is very sad.
- Sundra (6/5): - Everything went well. Loved Jazzmin, she checked up in. Great personality, pleasant, helpful.
- Isabelle (8/5): - Parfait pour une nuit. Propre et agréable. Pas de mini réfrigérateur
- Nidel (9/5): Would stay here again, good location to all fun things in San Diego. - Rooms and bathroom were very clean, comfortable beds.
- Ricco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malinda (9/5): Great stay and location - Convenient to the trolley station and easy to get to. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not all the outlets work so blow drying the hair was difficult and charging phones
- Penney (7/5): Good -
- Ian (10/5): - Front desk agent was very friendly and welcoming. Room was very clean. Being right off the freeway, I was not expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised.
- John (4/5): - Shabby condition smelled horrible
- Shanteisha (8/5): - My room did not have a microwave.
- Lauro (4/5): - Smoking in room below us traveled into our room 1 nite. Very heavy odor Smoker was gone the next day. Not sure if Hotel removed him or he checked out on his own.
Staff did offer another room for next day but we declined as the odor disappeared the next day. They apologized, however a discount would have been nice. She said the next time, they will "take care of us", whatever that may mean. I just smile knowing that it was irrelevant as we would not be back.
Wife bitten more than a dozen times more than likely by bedbugs, though she did not relize this until a few days later after check out.
- Vadim (1/5): Bad - The second scammers - and again in San Diego. They cancelled my reservation in the system so as not to pay Booking a commission. My message confirming my stay was not acknowledged. I paid in cash and was not given any receipt. Booking was unable to compensate me as a result.
- Timeka (10/5): - Everything was Good and enjoyed my stay and the location was close to lots of things.
- Sharon (4/5): A not very happy granny. - Everything seemed to go OK until the night before I left and at midnight, there was a lot of noise going on outside. And then when I checked out the clerk at the front desk, seem to get angry at me because I dropped the room key on the desk. Accused me of throwing it at her which I did not. Period she continued on about the whole thing even after I apologized to her. I am an older person, 81, and I feel that I was treated unnecessarily with disrespect.
- Ramona (8/5): It was a good experience - Easy access to freeway Room wasn’t cleaned on first day
- Fazalulllah (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lupe (6/5): - It looks that there’s a lot of homeless people around d property
- Harmony (1/5): The property would not allow me to check in because they claimed Booking. Com never paid them. - Nothing Everything
- Silvia (9/5): Its convenient - Off the freeway People outside smoking pot ,
- Christian (6/5): - It was quiet and the room suited my needs, the water smelled strange and the soap and towels felt cheap though.
- Michael (10/5): - None
- JOHAO (10/5): - Place was very clean and staff where amazing
- Ashley (10/5): - A very quiet and cozy place
- Breanna (10/5): - Arcey was incredible!! I left my iPad behind and she worked with me to ensure that it was delivered back to my home in Arizona. I would 100000% recommend this motel based off its integrity alone. Also, clean inside and no issue while we stayed there.
- Richard (10/5): - Room was very clean and staff was very courteous.
- Jesus Ubaldo (10/5): - nice stay
- Danielle (10/5): - I like the kindness of the maids and Nick and how clean it is in the rooms and I like that they have refrigerators and microwaves.
- Julian (6/5): - Staff was nice but the property was in need of a deep cleaning. Walls are thin and guests were up late.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Called early in the morning before b9oking reservation to make sure we had an early check in accomodation. Recepptionist said there was no problem, come after 10am and we can check you in afte housekeeping gets there at 9am but failed to mention there is an early check in fee of 30$. I got to the hotel and I had already booked for 2 nights thought all I had to do was check in...different rwceptionist had to ask manager to overide fee, im grateful for that but staff was rude kept asking me why I wanted to talk to a manager had me wait till about 10:45 to check in....off to a bad start. Got to my room, had not even used the facilities yet and water was seeping out of the floor boards in the bathroom. Staff refused to give me a differnt room because they told me every room had the same problem and if I moved they would have to clean that one so it was a waste....it was the worst experience I have ever had staying at any hotel, UNSANITARY...UNPROFESSIONAL. Didn't a refund because of an issue with my 3rd party reservation, and so I had to stay in this room or risk not getting my money back, was a bad experience. Staff was rude and tried to say I lied about the condition of the room. Maintenance was not available so they send a housekepeer to look at the problem. She determined it was from mopping the room earlier that day....it was definitely not the issue and so I had no choice but to stay, I was gonna lose 160$ or only get deposit back...horrible experience.
- Frank (8/5): - Good value for the price. The room was clean and the area was quiet at night.
- David (8/5): - The room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was a smell that was not too pleasant when we walked in. The outside light shone under and around the curtains which made it hard to sleep. We only needed the room for sleeping in so it was adequate.
- Mitsuko (4/5): - The property is right next to the highway that the noise is too heavy. In addition to that the train goes in the back of the property that also makes noise.
The wall is too thin to hear all the noise from the next room. Then noise of the air conditioner is too noisy to sleep.
- Julie (10/5): - They left an ozone cleaner in the room. They did switch our room.
- Benvolio (1/5): I cancelled because they didn’t have the room I booked with a bathtub and I was frustrated by the whole experience - Nice staff They didn’t have my room and there are 2 of these in La Mesa, but the operators refuse to clarify which is which in their naming on Booking, so of course I went to the wrong one first, wasting time with a tired child
