Очень сильно огорчен соотношением дорогой цены и плохого качества!
Pros:

Не соответствует 3 звездному отелю, так как это обычный при дорожный мотель! В номере ужасный запах сырости и чего-то не хорошего. Не советую этот мотель!

Cons:

Ужасный запах в номере, расположение

Overall was an excellent experience.
Pros:

The cleanliness inside and out. Front desk staff was courteous. Restaurant on site was convenient. Connecting rooms was a plus!

Cons:

The rather unpleasant cleaning lady from Jamaica who pretended she didn’t speak English when I asked her for help with my room. I noticed she was very slow in preparing the rooms.

The hotel was okay overall, but the service left a lot to be desired. One of the advertised conveniences was the ability
Pros:

It was close to where I needed to be

Cons:

No screen on br window, tub not draining, AC on but not cool, plugs don’t work unless wall switches turned on which is fine but the light at the coffee machine has no way to turn off, not enough plugs in the room to charge things, metal bed frame not fun to bang your legs against,

It was ok for the duration and minimal room time, just wish it could be better given the location.
Pros:

Outdoor pool area was great! Music playing, nice pool vacation vibes.

Cons:

Room was a little dirty, could have been cleaned better. Bathroom needed some paint. The air condition unit was extremely loud and wasn’t the best. Bed was extremely squeaky, and a little uncomfortable since it was really noisy.

Schlecht und nicht sauber
Pros:

Gute Lage. Innerhalb 10-20 min mit dem Auto überall sehr leicht hinzugelangen.
Old town 7 min, La Jolla 20 min, downtown 10min, mission beach 15 min.

Cons:

Nicht wie auf den Bildern. Das Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen und man sieht das. Die Sauberkeit des Zimmers war nicht gut. Ich war mehrfach in SD und würde diese Unterkunft nicht erneut buchen. Zu dreckig, zu alt, zu ungepflegt. Kein Licht an der Decke, zimmer quasi dunkel. Steckdosen Mangelware und in schlechtem Zustand, Angst beim aufstöpseln den Anschluss rauszureissen.

It was comfortable and convenient.
Pros:

Convenient location near Old Town San Diego, a mall, and the freeway. My husband enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. There was not breakfast provided, but the local liquor store had breakfast supplies.

Cons:

Room refresh every other day instead of every day.
