    Michelle & Matt wedding
    We only stayed 1 night, after arriving in San Diego, on our way to Temecula for a wedding. The suite was nice, clean, and roomy, not luxurious, but ok. Not the best location, not close to much, and a little difficult to get to.

    stop over
    It was a good stop over place while traveling up the coast. Nothing exceptional but a good clean room. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location worked great for us to quickly get in and out the next day.

    Be Careful when booking
    We stayed here last month in a two Queen bed deluxe room. It was clean and though a bit worn, comfortable. This time we booked a queen standard. We were directed to another building. The first room we were given keys to was awful. Smelt, carpet torn, paint scuffed, no closet, …

    Just say no
    This is not a corporate hotel. Very dirty. Painted to look attractive. Stay far away. Not trying to be harsh but I’ve stayed at Motel 6 that was in better order. Do your homework, read reviews. This is NOT family friendly. This is the “I’m in town to party and don’t care where I…

    Did the job, shame about the pool.
    Good value, central location and clean. We had a two bedroom suite for our family (two small kids). The only thing that let it down was the receptionist allowing what appeared to be her extended family (sister, son and niece I believe) to use the pool. When we got there they had…

    What time does pool open?
    Hi, I would like to know if you are pet friendly. I read on Trip Advisor that you do not charge for a small adult dog. Is this true?
    Why is the management of this hotel unwilling to start a discussion with a client or accept that their hotel or the personnel could be wrong?
    I have the same experience. But not the answer. Probably wrong management.

    ola, estou aguardando ate hoje a devolução do meu dinheiro. Estive hospedado no hotel de 11 de outubro ate 12 de outubro, apenas uma diaria. O hotel fez um bloqueio no meu cartao de credito de 91 dolares e até hoje não me extornaram. Eu paguei em dinheiro no check out. Por favor, preciso que providenciem isso urgentemente pois irá fechar minha fatura. Caso contrario terei que entrar com uma ação judicial solicitando meu dinheiro. Enviei email e não fui respondido tambem.
    "choose another place to sleep"
    "Try for 1315 - nice view of the hills."
    "Make sure what you book printed on your receipt is what you get when you check in."
    "Best rooms are beside the pool"
    "We stayed in 2107 facing the side street, ground floor and quiet."
