I normally stay at a competitive chain. My contact in SD recommended this property. I was skeptical but since I wanted to make nice with this client I stayed there. Excellent choice!!! My first indicator of good quality was how the front desk solves problems. There was a loud person in the room above me and when I asked the... More

What a great deal we got on Hotwire! The hotel is pet- friendly and they gave us a room on the first floor on the road side. It was very clean and quiet. No dog odor or some other strong smell. Everything still looks very new, grounds are well maintained with lush plants, pool is heated, beds are comfortable and... More

The staff was exceptionally courteous and nice. It was 10 minutes from San Diego in a quite industrial neighborhood. Not a lot within walking distance but it was quite. I loved that the pool was heated!

Only a few years old, this hotel exudes newness. Immaculate rooms and great pool and hot tub make it our go to place when we only want to feel like we are getting away. It's location is ideal for tourists, only minutes from the hot spots in San Diego. Plus, Mexico is a mere five minutes away.

Poor sevice - They gave us a disabled room without asking which we did not prefer, and didn't let us change without even checking the availabilities. Their reception is not well trained, a man from the reception looked at my husband in a strange way when he came back to the hotel at late night. Not clean - The room... More

I say that the room was nice but I could not enjoy my time there because of the lack of amenities.

This is a fairly new hotel. Nice garden style hotel but no breakfast served. The only thing faulting this hotel was detail to the cleaning. They should really check under chairs and and tables.
