Great stay

I read the reviews after booking the stay and I was skeptical but it was better than I’ve could’ve imagine. The apartment was clean and cozy. It was perfect for two people. The only complaint I would have is the check in was at another location. There is a parking fee too.

8/10 Very good

It’s alright.

The front desk of the hotel we had to pick up the key from was unclean, rude, & did not communicate with us hardly at all when asked questions. Room itself was cute and comfortable but barely had any towels or toilet paper, things expected and requested extra of. Would stay again with more communication with property & time to plan — But bring everything yourself as complimentary items are not provided at all.

6/10 Good

Value but has some challenges

Made a reservation for 4. Was lacking linens for the pull out sofa bed and towels. The smell of the eco-friendly cleaning agent/bug repellent was strong. Having some size to the room and a separate bedroom from the rest of the apartment which has a small kitchenette was nice. We had an assigned parking space, but other people parked in it. Check in is off site in hotel circle, so if you are transportation limited, this might be a challenge. Directions for the unit appear geared for air bnb. The value proposition is pretty good, especially if you are doing things close to the apartment, like working/visiting sharp or rady's hospitals. Close to Convoy, University of San Diego, and very close to 163 freeway access

Like the rooms everything was clean From parking to room Just didn’t like that you have to check in at another property

Meh!!!

Location was OK, the problem was you had to drive another 4 miles to another location to pick up the key. there was no front desk, and people lived here, this was no hotel, Ive seen Motel 6's in better shape.

The rooms are outstanding because you can actually live there. Refrigerator, 2 burner stove and a amazing bathroom. The security outstanding is because your the only one that can get in.

They have smart TV's, you'll need an account with something to watch TV. Remember to log out before you leave. Inserting the door card to get power everywhere was a unique thing.

A nice spot. All the right touches

Nicely appointed private studio. Very clean and very welcoming and comfortable. Great minimalist design. You will check-in somewhere else so read the details before you drive to the actual destination. Don’t quite know how the tv channels worked. There was only one, also bring your own Keurig pods our ground coffee, an ice tray and an iron.

Good enough

Pros: It was ok for the price. It was spacious. Cons: Missing trash can. Missing light bulb in the bedroom.

Absolutely loved this room, no complaints whatsoever other than having to get the key at another facility.

Decent stay for the price

Met all basic needs for price I cannot complain.
Robert, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I expected a hotel and ended up with some kind of Airbnb without any explanation. We got "hotel" and no one was there. After spending an hour trying to figure out what was going on. We have to drive all the way to hotel circle to get a freaking key card to get in. They have you a list of chores to do before you leave like clean up, take out the trash, etc. if I wanted an Airbnb, I would have gotten an Airbnb.

To tired to wait, for the extra steps

You have to go to another motel to get the keys and wait nearly an hour to check in because the hotel agent at the desk is responding to a third party online and can't view your check-in automatically so you have to wait after a long trip; One is tired! But after that, the place is very pleasant.
