It's a nice budget friendly motel. It's in good shape, everything was functioning and looked good. They are pretty strict on the check in time, so don't expect to check in early. The lobby is inviting, the restaurant was packed, the laundry facilities worked great, the pool was lovely. Had a great stay.

We got our son and his friends a room here because their Airbnb wasn't available until the next afternoon and they wanted to get to San Diego the night before. We wanted a safe place for them to stay the night. The price was great and I trusted the good reviews. My son said the room was clean, the staff was nice, and they loved the beautiful pool and hot tub. He said to give the hotel 5 stars on everything.
