The property was good no issues with the property at all. Location was good right next to the freeway. Cops were sighted around the property which felt safe.
The property charged my bank twice first time when I checked in and again 2 days after I checked out. I called my bank for my 150 deposit that was pending and per my bank this property charged me after I checked out which is kinda suspicious. My bank wont drop the pending charges until this property refunds me back my 150. But according to the property everything has been finalized when I checked out. Ive read reviews before on this property not giving deposits back and I should have listened to those reviews. The property is great but the company itself seems like a fraud to me taking my money

Liked everything about the property, just disliked that I was given an upstairs room and not a ground level one. I mentioned it in a message on the app. About wanting a ground level room due to being handicapped. I had to hop down the stairs on one leg after awhile. That’s why I gave a 8/10.

This hotel is clean, beds are comfortable, it's surprisingly quiet for being next to the freeway and it's perfectly located to go places in San Diego or Chula Vista.
Nothing, we've stayed here several occasions and will keep coming back, it's comfortable, affordable and clean every time!.

We enjoyed how clean the room was, it smelled fresh and clean the moment we walked in. The front desk staff was friendly and made the experience fast and simple.
There was a couple of cosmetic things that we noticed but they didn’t effect our stay. For example, it looked like the ceiling in our room had been patched recently and the curtains at the top had a water stain. But these things did not effect our stay.

Honestly awesome room!! Looks and feels like almost new. Really comfy bed and really nice bathroom. It was a really nice surprise. Definitely staying there in the future
We were in the breakfast area around 7:30am (it starts at 6:30) and there were only cereal and some bread to eat. It was ok but when we checked out around 9am there were also hot cakes and other stuff. It would have be ok to also have the chance to eat those.

The bed was very comfortable. And they made accommodations for me because I can't do stairs.
They charged our debit card for more days after we was already checked out.

The room was exceptionally clean. Towels were top quality. Bathtub is a BIG bonus! comfortable desk area. Large TV, full cable channels.
The 'damage deposit' of $250 seemed excessive. The soda machine only took coins (the bill acceptor was not working).
