For staff I’d definitely give them 5 stars, very friendly and helpful, but property is in poor shape, old lights, take about 10 seconds to turn on, scratched/stained floors, old pillows, old spring mattresses, old linen, it was honestly very uncomfortable, we barely slept about 3 hours with everything going outside our room but we had no choice, every other hotel was full. A lot of people coming in and out throughout the night, thin walls you can hear everything. Parking is inside property and I saw a couple of security guards on site which was comforting. Hotel is in a very shady area, far from downtown San Diego.

I am very happy with the customer service and excellent treatment where my stays are concerned. I am going through a very hard and confusing time as my daughter are homeless. They are helpful accommodating. Kim and Mark were even giving me a program for motel vouchers. The place is clean n nice and all the staff are friendly n helpful.

Front desk girl was rude. She refused to give us the room. Because we booked through Hotels.com. She wanted me to pay extra. I called many times customer service to handle the situation. We were waiting outside for long. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
