Overall this is a good place to stay for the cost(s), its a good location, close to downtown, we liked the area, the pool and hot tub was nice. The rooms were small, its an older property but well maintained. Our bathroom was very small.

Awesome.

This is my local staycation spot. Reasonable rates and nice clean deep pool and hot jacuzzi with strong jets. Both restaurants have great food at great prices. I refer this place to visitors from out of town.

My family and I love staying here. We always enjoy their nice pool and hot tub. The waffle spot has the best breakfast. The Amigo spot has great food and a nice happy hour. Parking is easy and we like how the hotel is close to shops and other restaurants. I would definitely recommend 👍

Cute and comfy retro motel ♥️

This was our second time staying here! A very nicely updated little motel with a retro feel! Comfortable bed and nice size room, conveniently located on Hotel Circle off the 8 freeway so it’s convenient to get to all the San Diego attractions!
