I love the pool area and the overall ascetics of the site. It is retro/casual/family friendly/accommodating. Great staff. Very helpful and aimed at making your stay comfortable. There is food and drinks onsite, and a great little market a block away.

The property is good for kids. It was a very cute, clean motel. It has a good Mexican restaurant and a fun diner. The motel is old, but they have worked hard on keeping it up. I would stay here again.

Amazing location…we went to so many different spots in San Diego and nothing was more than ten miles away. Great character to the place, yep it’s a little dated but that’s the charm of the place.

Modern retro charm

Modern retro style rooms. Nicely updated. Despite the hotel being very full, it was incredibly quiet. Pool area was lovely. Freshly updated since last year. We missed the old wicker furniture area, by the old tiki bar, but the indoor ice machines and tables and chairs were a nice use of the renovated space. Love the walkability to pizza and market. This time we enjoyed the diner on site. We've visited the Mexican restaurant on site as well in the past and liked that as well. The only thing that was tough were the extremely firm beds in our room. However, they will stand the test of time. I'd rather have that, than sleeping in a bowl! We will definitely return in the future if in the area. Great value.
