Overall good experience. Hot water is backwards on the shower. We noticed ppl say they didn't have hot water, it's just backwards on the shower. Very hot water. Very tucked away Motel for cheap. We enjoyed ourselves!

Ok for one night
When we arrived the room smelled so heavily of bleach it made us ill. But I guess you could say it was clean. We were forced to pay a $60 cash deposit for damages, that would not be returned until after a 9 am inspection. Well we were leaving at 6 am so we were forced to leave a credit card in order to get the $60 cash back. The room, the walls were dirty, there were cigarette burns on the desk, so I'm hoping they don't blame us for damages. Bed very lumpy and uncomfortable.

We needed a place to sleep comfortably and we found it. We had business during the day in SD. The place was quiet and close to freeway and tranportation.

Really difficult to see traffic when you are trying to exit the parking lot in a vehicle. They have a surprise security deposit after you pay for the room on-line. They refunded the entire deposit when I checked out.

Like: convenient - I was visiting UCSD. Dislike: Congested area - in and out of motel was bad during hi-traffic time. If I'm antique collector, then the building was very cute but I'm not so the motel could be listed as historical structure, ;)

I really have mixed emotions. When booking via the app there's no mention of a required $60 CASH deposit at time of booking (an email came from the hotel at 4am AFTER check-in with that info). The form you sign at check-in says no pets, yet they're advertised as pet-friendly. I worked these items out without much hassle - and they probably protect the owners from unsavory characters and dishonesty about having a pet - but still, seems a bit shady. It's the kind of place that hands you the TV & AC split remotes at the windowed desk. The split didn't work but fortunately outside temps were comfortable, so I took a chance and left a window open. I wouldn't dare use the coffin of a shower (I am not claustrophobic) - just not appealing. Microwave didn't work because it's on top of the fridge and too far away from the outlet It's old but clean, solid, and a bit noisy from the busy street. That said, as a solo female, I was safe and sufficiently comfortable for one night. . Free bottle of water and free pet stay were appreciated.

The property requires a $60 cash only deposit, which is inconvenient and annoying. There was a leak under the bathroom sink that would wet the bathroom floor. The hotel is affordable and was what I needed as I was hardly in the room. It was fine for just me for just one night.
