Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I don't know how many times I've gone into a hotel, and within 10 minutes I'm on the phone with the office because the air conditioner doesn't work, or the TV won't come on... But when I arrived at my room here, I was pleasantly surprised to find the place clean and ready for me, with EVERYTHING in good working order! That is what I look for in a hotel, and Harvey's passes my test! Everyone was very nice, as well. I will certainly stay there again!

The motel is OK if you don't plan spending too much time in it. We visited friends in the area and only went to sleep in the motel. There is not much to do in the area. I guess most businesses is coming from parents visiting their kids studying in the nearby university. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy in the night, but we did not have any problems.

I’ve stayed here several times and it’s a great property. The owners are kind and courteous and they keep a close eye on everything. As a woman staying alone I always feel safe here. Everything is clean, comes with a fridge and microwave. You can’t beat it, especially for the price!

I enjoyed staying here. I book this place regardless of what other reviews had said and was pleasantly surprised. This isn’t a resort style or anything close to that but for a motel, I think this place is great. The staff are very accommodating and kind and the rooms are exactly as pictured. I didn’t find anything wrong with the room or bathroom. Each room comes with a mini fridge and microwave as well as a flat screen TV with cable. The bathrooms were also very clean. Didn’t find anything bad. Water pressure was good too. Parking was also a breeze. If you’re looking for an affordable stay somewhere for a weekend or mini trip, this place is great.

Kind of last minute booking, wanted to look around outside of San Diego before going to the coast. I would probably give it a 4 rating if it was maintained better, it's a bit run down. But easy access to freeway to go to desert or Palomar or Pacific crest trail. It is a few minutes walk to a Ralph's (basically a west coast Kroger with Kroger merchandise) and close to some hole-in-the-wall, good eateries, so food is not a problem. The area is a bit neglected, still safe, never felt danger after dark. The rooms are cleanish, newish, could use some TLC, had a microwave and small fridge. Got a fine haircut at the nice Vietnamese salon a block away, as it was so hot I was sweating with long hair. The street gets noisy early, that was one drawback. A little pricey, but maybe that's just California prices, everything seemed expensive in San Diego. Free wifi.

Toilet doesn't work, room stinks, and the front desk is deceitful. You're better off sleeping in your car. Beware if you book online. They'll surely find a reason to need to cancel your original booking and charge you more. for some reason trip advisor wants a really long post in order to allow you to post it so apologies if this just seems to run on and on and on...

Didn't really plan to stay here, but because of my prior plans not panning out to be what I wanted, we were scrambling to find ourselves a last minute booking. Looked all over online for San Diego hotels, motels, and other places. We finally found this little place, it's quick driving distance to the gas lamp area was something that we were looking for. The motel keepers were friendly and very informative, they even bumped us up to the next size room for no cost. I would come here again without any hesitation.
