"Close to the trolley, so it was easy to get around and get to SDCCU Stadium. There was a Food For Less within walking distance. Good hotel overall. The room had a fridge and microwave.2019-01-06"
"Easy access to downtown and the stadium, and the trolley was just across the street. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Great place to stay.2016-12-30"
"Clean hotel. The room was nicely decorated.2015-12-24"
"I loved the room. Check this hotel out.2021-09-04"
"The motel was run-down and in need of repair. The front desk clerk gave me incorrect directions. The only positive was that the place was clean. The bag breakfast was a joke. Find another place to stay.2021-07-10"
"Good location. The beds were comfortable, and the continental breakfast was terrific. The hotel does charge for parking.2019-09-22"

"The motel badly needed maintenance. Our room was above the laundry room and was always hot. There was no carpet, and the tiles were peeling off the floor. The parking lot was small. I won't stay here again.2018-12-06"
"Convenient to downtown, Balboa Park, SeaWorld, Fashion Valley Mall, and many other attractions. The room rate was reasonable and included WiFi and continental breakfast. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The only downside was that I lost an item of clothing that I assume was gathered up with the laundry, and the hotel staff was unable to locate it. The breakfast room got crowded, so go early. I definitely recommend this motel to anyone looking for an inexpensive place to sleep.2015-07-08"
"The hotel was nice and clean, and I loved that pets were allowed. The staff was friendly. I did have to pay for parking. No keyed re-entry to the stairwells, so if your room is at the end of the hall, you have to go back to the elevator to re-enter.2018-09-26"
"Good rates. The hotel room was clean, and everything was perfect. Fast check-in. I can't wait to go back.2021-11-08"
"I wasn't satisfied with the quality of this hotel. The hospitality was fine, but the carpet was dirty and hadn't been vacuumed, and the AC didn't work well. There was mold on the shower wall. I should have stayed in my car.2021-08-28"
"Hotel room was small but clean. Nice pool area and restaurant.2015-02-22"

"Nice hotel, and within walking distance to the trolley to local attractions. The room was nicely decorated, and the beds were comfortable. Good breakfast. There was a charge for parking, though.2015-12-10"
"Our room was right next to the freeway, so the traffic noise was loud. The shower light had a leak, and the fluid was a strange color. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-06-14"
"An outstanding hotel. Stay here.2019-01-30"
"We didn't want housekeeping our 1st morning, but our room was never serviced and we never got fresh towels; I had to find a housekeeper and request some. Breakfast wasn't that good. We were disappointed.2018-03-05"
"The room was spacious, and breakfast was good. The staff wasn't consistently customer service-oriented, though. We tried calling for hours to inform the staff we'd be arriving late, but we were never able to get through. When we arrived, the hotel clerk said she'd used the phone and it worked fine. The heating and cooling unit was so loud it interrupted our sleep. Never got our requested wake-up call. Even though the room rates weren't cheap, we also had to pay for parking. We won't return.2018-12-05"
"I enjoyed staying at this hotel.2018-08-09"
"The hotel was clean and nicely updated. Good hospitality. The only disappointment was the cable TV didn't work. I recommend staying here.2017-11-13"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
