Comfortable basic accomodation
By UNDISCLOSED, 12/31/11
best western diamond elite member; paid $64+tax in december-2011 which is good rate for value received; appreciate upgrade to family suite with kitchen with utensils and separate bedroom and living room; ralphs and vons grocery stores, walgreens,, cvs near by; some restaurants near by but did not try them clean, comfortable basic accommodation; chose for high traveladvisor rating and not disappointed except for minor irritants as detailed below; helpful, courteous staff; older property but well maintained; nice firm comfortable beds; plenty of clean towels bulbs above sink outside bathroom burnt out but not replaced for two days despite request; at arrival, room very clean but housekeeping didn't clean interior of microwave where previous guest left spilled coffee & half full coffee cup but i didn't report instead cleaned myself; flat screen tv in bedroom goes blank for 30 seconds each time channel changed [most annoying] so instead watched CRT tv in living room; stayed 3 nights but housekeeping never left fresh paper coffee mugs or condiments packet until i left note asking for them; very clean room and well maintained property; realize breakfast under reconstruction but general quality & variety of breakfast items poorer than comparable hotels; provided soap, shampoo and lotion but no conditioner would definitely stay here again & would recommend to others

Good value, nice small motel
By Claire, 5/22/08
My family stayed here for our San Diego vacation and we were very happy with the accomodation. We are a family of five so we took a room with separate bedroom and living areas. The rooms were adequate, and I had a full (but small kitchen) to cook supper in each night. The continental breakfast was nice (kids loved the waffle makers) but the eating area is small - we carried our food back to the room to eat. Just remember if you have a family my size or larger the kitchen comes with service for four. We simply bought a set of cheap dishes and tableware ($10 total) so there was enough for everyone, and extra for serving plates. It is easy to get to, and there is a grocery store a block east, a pharmacy a block west, and a hospital 3 highway exits away. I had to utilize all of these (the joy of travelling with 3 very active children) and had no problem getting around the area. If you need to soak after a long day of tramping around SeaWorld or the zoo, you'll need to take a hot bath because there is a nice pool, but no hot tub. At the pool there is also a small nice grassy area for little kids to play on, and a BBQ for the hotel guests to use so they can cook out by the pool. Our room was quiet and clean. No rooms face the road so there is really no road noise to speak of. The Front Desk staff was very helpful. If you are on a budget this would be the place to stay.

Excellent/A+
Exceptionally Clean, Very Well Maintained, Courteous Staff, Fairly Priced. Even if you must travel 20 minutes to Sea World of the beach...this motel is worth every minute of your time. It's extremely comfortable...and Very Well Maintained.

Good Stuff!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/13/05
Cute hotel. Nice staff. Close to everything. The pool was nice, good for relaxing. The hotel is near the University and everyone who worked there was really helpful! If I go back I would stay there again no questions asked.
