That staff was amazing my wife and family stayed here while my mother was in the hospital although I stayed at the hospital my wife stayed here and the staff made her feel happy,safe and at home. Thank you. My only recommendation is to clean up the homeless around the building.

I didn’t give this property five stars because I was unaware that they only had queen bed single in every room on the property and parking unless you reserve it ahead of time is down the street under the bridge which sounds scarier than it is the staff was really nice and very accommodating when we changed our mind and got to a different hotel. The hotel is appropriate for this price. Remember the old saying you get what you pay for but if you’re just looking for the basics, this place is OK.

Has deteriorated signifcantly since last stay

I paid hotels.com extra to select a room with a refrigerator. On check-in, I was told that they don't have rooms with refrigerators. The heat in the room wasn't working and the window wouldn't close. There was mold on the window sill. They changed my room but the replacement wasn't much better, The particle board furniture was badly in need of repair or replacement, there was mold in the shower, the shower curtain was tattered and torn and a lot more.

The property wasn’t that bad . My room was dirty and my sheets had holes . I showered one day there and left . The towels smelled like old cheese and sweat . The worst part about this place is the Customer Service . The guy working the front desk is the worst . I have never seen anyone so rude to people checking in . I was supposed to do a late night check in and the person on the phone told me I needed to get there soon because they’re are not staying all night . I was actually scheduled to spend the whole week and canceled after one day .Hotel was ok but the people were rude .

Just right.

For what it’s worth, I think it was perfect. Cozy room that served its purpose while I spent the weekend in San Diego.
