They even drove us over to Walmart the afternoon that we arrived. They were extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay. We enjoyed a great happy... More

I needed someplace reasonably priced to stay the night before my flight out of San Diego. I stayed at this hotel 10 or 15 years ago when it was a Holiday Inn and the area was a little sketchy. Both have improved dramatically. The neighborhood felt safe and parking was free and in a garage. I had a king room... More

The hotel is old as exhibited by the exterior. It is in a good area of this city as the main police station and city hall are 2 streets over. The room was incredible. I loved the design/layout, furniture was modern, carpet was visually appealing, and lamps were fitting. The room had a Sharp 32" LCD but no DVD player.... More
