Courteous, Comfortable and Conveniently located

The hotel is very favorably located for visitors to San Diego Safari Park. There are a lot of dining options within a few minutes driving distance and the hotel is conveniently located right next to the 15 freeway. Costco gas station is also less than 4 minutes away

Mother’s Day weekend

Upon entering my room there was a big stain on the carpet. Looked like grease or gum. Coffee maker had leftover water from whoever used last. Breakfast in the morning was a really good surprise. Overall I was happy with this hotel

No elevator!

The elevator was broken and you had to use the stairs it was broken when I got there and broken when I left 3 days later! The towels were to small I had to use two towels after I took a shower to dry myself!

Run down with 8-legged friends

The building is really old and in need of serious updating. The rooms are very rundown. Our room was filled with spiders, I say filled loosely… we found three(!), and there were probably more that we didn’t find. The room and bathroom were super tiny and the shower had no water pressure. The highlight of our stay was the pleasant desk staff.

Convenient location/ all the things you need

We stayed in a suite and would do it again. Nice having the extra space with kids. Pool was good enough for the kids. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate available all day/evening and nice since they swam at night and we needed it to stay warm. Nice to have tables next to the pool so the adults had a place to sit play games. We didn’t use the kitchenette in the room, but if we need it next time we will. Location next to fast dining establishments couldn’t be more perfect. We got our water bottles refilled at the gym in the hotel. Breakfast was fabulous and had something for everyone. Would 100 percent come back again.
