The vibe is definitely California dreaming
Pros:

Everything the staff I will be going back if there's a 20 out of 20 this is it right here. The room was exceptionally clean. The showerhead had great pressure. They have these four large long pillows on your bed that would make you melt. The bed was very very comfortable the sheets were white the towels were white. They were clean. They were soft. They weren't those cheap hotel type towels. It's a very cute vibe style hotel. You walk into the lobby. It has all these colors. it has an area for kids. It has board games. They have old school arcade machines like three of them. I mean everybody was so nice. The pool is clean. They don't have a Jacuzzi, but they do have a fire pit and they sell s'more kits. they offer complementary beach cruiser. The train is right up the street not even a half a block there's a casino across the street that offers different card games. I think it's 21 blackjack and poker and we took a lift into San Diego downtown San Diego and it cost us $18 to get into the city which was a place. There's an excellent Mexican restaurant in Chula Vista dolche cafe which was excellent. The rambler owes me nothing I'll be back.

Cons:

The property was very quite very very clean. And for two women, we felt very very safe. We came in one night it almost 2 o'clock in the morning and the next night. I think it was like 3 o'clock in the morning, and we didn't feel threatened at all.

Einfaches, sauberes Motel
Pros:

Dieses Motel (kein Hotel) ist wirklich sauber. Die Queensize-Betten sind bequem. Die Klimaanlage ist laut, funktioniert aber. Die Dusche ist im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften sehr gut. Der Pool ist angenehm. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück passt.

Cons:

Es ist ein Motel. Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach eingerichtet. Es gibt keinen Kühlschrank. Das Frühstück ist eher einfach (Cerealien, Joghurt, Obst, Toastbrot, süße Aufstriche). Recht früh, ab ca. 6:30 Uhr, hört man den Verkehr und Bauarbeiten in der Nachbarschaft. Wir mussten früh weiter, daher hat uns das nicht gestört.
