"Economical motel. The room was clean and odor-free. Smooth check-in. The continental breakfast was adequate.2016-07-16 "
"Other than the roaches, burn holes in the linens and drapes, trash on the floor, and extremely noisy neighbors, this motel was OK.2015-12-14 "
"The room was small, and both it and bedding smelled like smoke. There was a stain in the bathtub. We heard someone in the room upstairs walking around at 2 AM. Find another motel.2015-07-12 "

"If you arrive after 8 PM, you'll have to go to the back of the building and check in through a window with bullet-proof glass. There was no heat in the room, and we froze. No TV remote control. Breakfast was so bad I wouldn't feed it to a dog. The elevator didn't work. Don't stay at this motel.2019-12-31 "

"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 "
