Poor condition

The room was not very clean and there were ants all over bathroom area. The floor felt like you were going to fall through in some areas and the fridge door did not seal to keep items cold. It was too late to get a refund and book elsewhere but would not stay here again.

This place is very affordable and not far from SDSU which is why I chose to stay here. But I will not be returning. Overall it was noisy and the rooms were not very clean and pretty beat up. One of the beds had a very strong smell of cologne on the pillow and top sheets like it had not been changed over and the shower had mold around the tub and hair was in the tub on the wall. There’s not a lot of eating options that are walkable and the trolley is not close enough to walk to either if you need it. I didn’t have a car but it looked like parking was plentiful. The pool is ok, didn’t look like it had restrooms but I could be wrong. Overall, there are so many options for hotels so shop around!

Clean, nice pool area. I would stay here again for the price and being close to beaches. It was sketchy at night. A lot of homeless wandering around and a liquor store in the middle of property brought in cars with loud base thumping. I just put on my fan app on my phone to drown out all the noise. Bed was hard. Nothing bad happened to my car or our stuff so I guess it was all good. I like the easy check in and out.
