"There was too much noise all night long; we weren't able to get any sleep. None of the hotel employees did anything about it; in fact, some of them were quite noisy themselves. I'd never stay here again.2022-02-07"

"Convenient to the North Halsey Base on Coronado. If you want simple, this is the hotel for you. Clean, comfortable room. It was pleasant and well worth the stay, and the staff was helpful. Had a heated pool, and there was a restaurant next door.2015-12-03"
"When I entered the motel, it smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. There were no shower towels available. The plumbing pipes creaked, and the AC was in bad shape and set to 52 degrees. The TV remote control was sticky, and the batteries were barely held in place. There was a taped crack in the window. There was a large hole in the curtain, and the ceiling sprinkler was falling out. I found an old cigarette and plastic wrappers in the room, and the towel rack fell off the wall. Don't stay here.2020-10-08"

"The hotel was comfortable and clean, and conveniently located right off the 805 freeway. Poor water pressure in the shower, though. The staff was courteous and efficient. 2021-10-21"
"Close to Balboa Navy Hospital. The room was clean, but the AC was loud and I could hear a lot of traffic noise. Most of the drawers and cabinets were missing their handles. Worst of all, the hotel had no hot water. The staff said the problem would be fixed in 3 hours, but there was still no hot water in the morning. I had booked for 12 days but left after less than 24 hours. Stay somewhere else.2016-09-06"
"Older hotel in need of renovation. Insist on a non-smoking room; ours wasn't, and it was smelly.2016-08-19"
"Located in a bad area. This hotel is cheap for a reason. When we arrived, the floors were wet and dirty. Check-in took forever. The room was dirty and smelled bad. There were crumbs on the chair, and the towels were discolored. The toilet ran. After 30 minutes, we decided to leave and find a better place to stay.2016-06-28"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
