Unclean room
My room was completely and utterly disgusting. Stained pillows, dirty shower curtain, clogged tub and just over all a nasty experience.

Great little motel in San Diego
Very friendly staff when checking in. Pleasantly surprised a the cleanliness of the property and room. Room is large with windows that open for fresh air circulation.TV has plenty of channels to choose from. I grabbed a coffee one morning from the restaurant, super cute place and coffee was good. I would definitely not hesitate staying here again if needed to be in the area.

Comfortable Stay
The bed was comfortable and the pillows where plentiful and fluffy. The Waffle Spot had great food and great service. My only negative is the bathroom needs remodeling and the towels were starting to get a little threadbare. Overall it was a very comfortable stay. The pool and jacuzzi looked fantastic although I didn’t use either. I would definitely stay again!!

Convenient Location
The hotel stepped back in time to the '60s in it's setting, however the room was comfortable, clean and updated. The staff was friendly and efficient. Only one recommendation, in room coffee and coffee shop coffee "needs improvement". This was a repeat visit as parents of a USD student.

Clean and charming
I was pleasantly surprised. This place was charming, family friendly and such a great atmosphere. This is the first time in a long time I’ve been someplace where the service has been this great. The people who work at this place are so very nice that I can’t help but think the management must treat them well. And most importantly, the room was clean. They have the hardest job if you ask me. And the place was decorated for Halloween. The decorations around the hotel were adorable and original.

No longer a great place
The room was ok not like past stays. There was hair on the shower wall and when they came to clean looked like they only removed but did not clean. No coffee replaced. Key would not work for access to pool/spa area. Food in waffle spot use to be amazing and now bacon not cooked very good and mini waffles doey inside. Coffee was bitter. Not allowing me to post pictures.
