We arrived at the 3pm check in time. We were given a room key and the room had not been cleaned, un made bed, garbage, and towels on the floor. The desk clerk was friendly, genuinely upset, he checked 2 more rooms before giving us an upgraded room ( upgrade was a couch) only because it waas the only cleaned room. The room was on the street and was loud. The black put curtains not very good, and parking is unsecured and not great, especially for a truck. Also be prepared for a lot of stairs. Only one mexican restraunt near by(walking distance) Our bathroom was very nice.
Very clean and well-furnished room with budget-friendly price. Noise from the road could be a concern during the day but definitely no problem at night.
Came in town for work found this little gym in La Mesa hidden away very clean all the rooms look like in the pictures remodeled and the staff is very accommodating and friendly

There was a slight smell of mold which gave me a headache during the night. I’m susceptible to mold. From my point of view the air quality was not good. It seemed to mostly come from the bathroom but am not sure.
The pillow cause and shower mat were ditty. The fresh wall paint was s p strong that my stomach was upset. Thd bed is very uncomfortable, mattress is too old. Tv remote control wasn't working and no closet to hang up your clothes.I try to get my money back. I won't recommend this motel stay.
