Guest Reviews
- Michael (1/5): - Nothing The sperm on the walls
- monoteos (7/5): Budget stay if you want ballance between price and quality - I like that hotel is renovated and room is clean, but it's still good old hotel/motal with a facelift There was a coffee machine with pack of drip coffee and sugar, but no stirrers, no bottle of water
- Zhou (8/5): -
- Pass (10/5): -
- Pass (10/5): -
- Ms . (7/5): - Decent sized room. No hot water for showers. Water was tepid at best. This was disappointing.
- Josie (10/5): -
- Billie (7/5): -
- James (8/5): we enjoyed our stay there i would recomend to family and friends. - the check in the clerk was very helpful. he made sure that i had everything that we needed there was nothing that we didnt like
- Aaron (10/5): -
- Angelina (7/5): -
- Federico (8/5): - The grounds are well kept. There is a supportive and friendly staff that offer excellent service.
To my surprise the hotel has changed owners and renovated the hotel to a "5 Star Rating".
Apprietation to the dedicated staff and their efforts of excellent service 👏 Some unpleasant odor during the day. ( To be fair there were workers above the room. It was rectified. 😉
- MARJORIE (7/5): -
- Maria del Pilar (2/5): Mal - La ubicación Las instalaciones súper descuidadas, sin mantenimiento, olor a humedad, se activó a media noche el detector de humos por fallas en las baterías y me tocó a mí misma desmontarlo y llevarlo a recepción porque el sonido era desesperante. Los acabados muy descuidados y maltratados.
- hams (8/5): -
- Kody (1/5): - Check out Mold in the shower, tile was uneven so water would puddle up, the night stands looked like a toddler was chewing on them, terminated handrails, damaged stairs, list goes on...
- Jon (7/5): - Location The building was under renovation and dated
- Ramos (8/5): Bien - Todo Parking
- Ken (10/5): -
- Cindy (3/5): Needs improvement - It's dirty. They assigned me a room that wasnt even clean. Fridge never cleared. The walkway has trash, fluids on the ground and constant traffic that you can hear all the time no matter what time of the hour. Well before check outs, all you hear is cleaning carts. Which surprises me. The sheets have stains. Hair all over the bed. Just sheets flipped inside out. Cigarette burns on the furniture and bedding. Toiletries aren't available and clearly running out upon checking into the room
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- MIKE (5/5): I sought out the most affordable option in the area and sometimes you just get what you pay for. - It was a good location for visiting friends in Ocean Beach. The lighting in the bathroom was dim, shower drained extremely slowly, USB plugs in the end table light fixtures were disgusting to the point where I wouldn't even put my cable in them, and I kept getting housekeeping knocks on the door despite having the Privacy Please note on the handle.
Neither the pool nor the hot tub were in any sort of usable condition.
The noise from construction was frustrating and I didn't know there would be construction during my stay until I arrived, but understand a place under construction wouldn't be quiet.
- Howard (1/5): Worst hotel ever - Worst hotel ever Worst hotel ever
- Linda (10/5): -
- Keron (6/5): - I liked the front desk staff who were warm and friendly. The guests were smoking quite a lot and it appeared that no want asked them to stop.
- Moses (5/5): - Location Smell, cleanliness of the room
- Keron (6/5): It was a good experience. - I liked the front desk staff who were pleasant and welcoming. They provided excellent customer service. There were many guests that were smoking on the balconies and in their rooms which affected me.
- Melanie (3/5): -
- Keylee (5/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Marco (1/5): Avoid this place - The price Dirty, smelled, the renovation going on makes it bad overall
- Rodriguez (5/5): - Nothing Location and room very dirty broken bed roaches all over worse hotel
- Kaan (2/5): -
- Emmalee (1/5): Needs housekeeping needs new bed frames staff amazing - Location The bed was broken and squeaking so bad that I was not able to stay in the room and had to leave with a refund. There was unknown liquid on the walls.
- April (7/5): -
- Johnathon (7/5): -
- Yen (1/5): This hotel was terrible!!! I know the price was low but this was way worse than ever imaginable. Tried to request a new - The location Outdated, mold spores on the walls, rust on all outlets, tv was broken, bed was broken and lop sided, suspicious stains on the walls
- Nicolene (8/5): -
- ball (8/5): -
- Mark (1/5): Awful make better choices - Nothing Druggies everywhere one hung outside my room when I woke up this is a terrible place
- William (1/5): it sucked - What a pit! I see it's being renovated but at least put a real bed in the room. dirty, uncomfortable in disrepair
- Rodriguez (1/5): - Nothing Room was filthy very dirty roaches didn't feel comfortable to even stay in left waste of my money not even worth staying even if it was free.
- Mano (10/5): -
- Jose (8/5): It was just for fun - Itt had a nice view Had to live back to the house
- Noemi (1/5): Horrible didn’t even stay the night. Not even 5 min. Don’t waste ur time - Gated parking Everything. The elevator was really small. The builing was falling apart. The hallway floors were soft and damaged. They said no smoking but it smelled like smoke everywhere. The room did not look like the pictures. Actually the whole thing didn’t look like the pictures. I don’t even want to sit on the beds. They were stained and had hair on them. There was rusty metal things sticking out under the bed. And what looked like dart or needle marks on the walls.
- claudia (6/5): -
- Bryan (3/5): Probably in a pinch or just for a night. - Staff was amazing, but hotel looks run down and is in severe need for a remodel. Bed could be more comfortable. Need better pillows as well. Location is convenient. Probably would only stay again if I was in a pinch or need something for a night. Facilities.
- HIEN VINH (1/5): Quá tệ mà giá mắc - Nhân Viên Lễ Tân Nhiệt Tình Khách sạn quá cũ kỹ, Một số khách ở la lối om sòm, khong an toan. Chỗ giặt sấy- Lò Viba quá dơ, phòng ẩm - có mùi. Hành lang thì bị sơn bong tróc. Thùng rác để đầy trước cửa phòng
- James (1/5): - The hotel flooded and did not communicate properly with us. When we came back to our room later that evening, we were told we had to leave, which is understandable. There was flood. But, the thing is, they did not let us know ahead of time. They had our phone number. They should have called, messaged, text, anything to warn us earlier that we wouldn’t have a room for the night. They could have reached out earlier to warn us about getting another hotel. And, they didn’t provide other places to stay. It is not easy to find hotels that are pet friendly as well, we were traveling with our two dogs. We were out in the rain, late at night in our car, figuring where to stay. One of the staff said we would be reimbursed for the night we couldn’t stay, but we were not reimbursed. We were charged the full amount. Awful experience. Never stay here again.

- Carlos (10/5): -
- Soto (6/5): -
- Bertha (8/5): - Se me hizo un cargo a mi tarjeta de crédito, "por equivocación", que no se me reembolso.
- David (7/5): -
- Zachary (1/5): - Nothing the pool was nasty and also the jacuzzi The room smelt like cigarettes and the toilet didn’t flash also the pool was nasty and the jacuzzi
- Yuqing (1/5): 不会再去入住 - 工作人员服务不错 房间很潮湿,床垫声音很大,只要一翻身就会有声音,而且2个人睡还会凹下去挤到一起。第一次遇到这样的床垫,预定了4晚,睡的太糟糕了。房间的设施都是磨损很大,地板也有裂缝。房间非常小。

- maria (9/5): -
- Dom (10/5): -
- Keron Rohan (6/5): - Me gustó más el servicios del cajero. Hay mucho fumando con los otros ocupantes.
- Kristy (1/5): - Nothing to like about the rooms! The lack of cleanliness in rooms!
- Sean (10/5): -
- Alfredo (10/5): 10/10. - All the staff were really attentive and caring, they went above and were super chill about us checking in late. The beds were super comfortable and we felt safe being out late at night knowing we'd be secure in our room. It was 4 of us and it was only $47 each person for 2 nights. 110% worth the value and checking in was super simple. Would definitely stay here again as it's value for price just simply can't be beat. The sink water wasnt the greatest because it had a slight odor to it but the shower water was amazing we had hot showers both nights we were there. We bought a gallon of water to make up for it and used that instead.
- Rene (3/5): -
- Melissa (1/5): Absolute horrible hotel! - Absolutely nothing Everything!
- Abate (9/5): It was a great stay - Location
- Duane (1/5): will not stay there again - Location NO COUNTER IN THE BATHROOM
NO CLOSET -DRAWERS FOR CLOTHES
NO SOAP IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
BED WAS POOR QUALITY
- Patrick (7/5): Enjoyable, room was lovely; staff were helpful and location was exactly what I needed. - This hotel is well worn and used but for good reasons; as it is keenly priced and is located within walking distance of Old Town interchange station by using the bicycle path and then turn onto Taylor. The room I booked had everything I needed but a few items had worn out and reached the end of their service life; which staff replaced straight away. Staff were also helpful when I needed a cab which arrived in less than 4 minutes. The hotel also has good eco friendly policies; such as servicing the room I booked once a week, which meant less disturbance and changes to the room environment. The air con also worked very well and on hot days; it was great. The hotel also has plenty of parking space and a medium sized swimming pool. Not much to say about things I didn't like as you have to be mindful that this design of hotel has open walkways; so some outside noises are inevitable; but the openness gives a sense of freedom and you get great views of the surrounding area, especially on the upper floors. (Tip). The hotel was also built under older building codes but that's part of it's charm and character. The coffee maker was at the end of its service life so had a few leaks; which staff replaced with a brand new one. (Thanks).
- Shalynn (6/5): For a cheap stay it’s alright - Plenty of parking. Nice size rooms. Like the layout. Very dirty old building and old rooms and cheap sheets and pillows.
- Alicia (1/5): Era pésimo - Nada Las camas te daban mucha comezón
- Miguel (1/5): -
- shelsea (1/5): NIGHTMARE - dirty & not safe. - There are absolutely no words to describe how terrible this experience was. I booked a room here last minute for a weekend stay in San Diego. Based on the reviews and pictures, I thought it would be a decent place just to crash. The reality was completely different.
The moment I walked in, the room was utterly disgusting. The bathroom door was broken and wouldn’t even close. The walls had stains all over them it looked like a crime scene. To top it off, there was mold growing inside the shower head. At that point, I knew I couldn’t stay even one night.
When I went to the front desk to request a refund, the worker was extremely unhelpful and rude. At first, he refused to refund me, saying I’d only get money back for the second day. Only when I pointed out the mold did he reluctantly agree to refund the full amount. Even then, it turned into a nightmare because I had booked through Booking and The hotel refused to answer Booking’s calls to confirm the refund, which made the process a huge hassle. I had to go down to the lobby and beg the worker to just answer the phone, and he dismissed me saying, “I’m busy right now. I have a line to work.”
Overall, this was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The room was filthy, the conditions were unsafe, and the staff was rude and hostile. Please save your money and don’t even think about staying here. I never write bad reviews, but this was so terrible I felt like I had to warn others. Booking was amazing though and all their employees are extremely professional & were very helpful.
- Tom (7/5): Overalls it was ok - Clean close by everything easy to access free way We did not like the next door neighbors nock my door for 2 nights and they was so noisy
- Juan José (8/5): -
- Gabriel (1/5): Unpleasant stay. - Staff is nice. My room was dirty rust from bottom of bed. Tagging in shower toilet was broken bugs flying everywhere. Bed was hard and felt every spring. Sheets had hair and crumbs. I had mentioned that they changed one of my rooms but not the other. Out side of hotel trash from other peoples hotel from out side was overflowing hard to walk. Floor needed to be redone as in construction wise. Over all wish i could of got a refund.
- Remedios (7/5): -
- Richard (7/5): Good - No breakfast,the staff is very professional,courteous, knowledgeable, understanding, helpful, and I fully recommend them. The looks. The building and furniture is old, damaged. It reminds me of old PI. It could use painting, new furniture, tile, tender touch. The staff is very helpful, friendly, they are great.
- Efrain (1/5): Too duty - None none Duty
- Joe (1/5): Never again - Nothing TV colors were off. Light stands were rusty toilet didn’t flush mattress was old
- Manuel (3/5): Short stays are tolerable. - Mattresses are old and the bed springs made a lot of noise. The lighting in the dress area was limited.
Plus towels were provided when requested and the water/shower temperature was good.
TV worked well and the programs offered were decent. Hotel was older and needs to be remodeled.

Horrible experience
- Guadalupe (6/5): For the price it was not too bad - I liked that the property was close to old town. The property looks and feels very run down and the parking spaces are very small.
- Emilio (10/5): - The staff was amazing and always there for you for anything you needed had the best time here
