"The motel was OK but not great. Not happy about a $150 hold on my credit card for 15 days.2016-08-30"
"Didn't like having to pay a large deposit at check-in. Don't recommend this motel.2016-05-20"
"The motel room smelled musty. The towel rack and toilet seat were broken; we reported it, but nothing was done. The continental breakfast was a joke. Not happy about the $150 deposit even though we paid in advance. Don't recommend this motel.2016-05-18"
"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"

"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"
"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"

"I arrived late, and there was nobody at the desk to check me in. The room smelled like smoke. No dishes or utensils in the kitchen, and no hair dryer in the bathroom. Don't stay here.2018-08-07"
"Good experience, but there was no wine bottle opener at the motel.2015-10-15"
"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"
"Check-in was a nightmare since I was paying for a friend's room. The hotel staff wanted a copy of my credit card e-mailed to them. Don't stay here.2019-10-03"

"The motel was less than a mile from the Naval Medical Center. The door didn't seem secure, so I didn't feel comfortable. There was a musty smell throughout the building. Parking cost $20. Definitely not a 3-star place.2021-11-01"
"An OK hotel. You get what you pay for.2016-12-28"
"This was the hotel from hell. There was trash under the bed. The towels were stained, and we only got 1 bar of soap for 4 people. When we asked for more, the staff told us that was all we were getting. There were tiny flies in the cups in the room. The breakfast bread was in zip lock bags. I'll never stay here again.2015-08-13"
"The hotel was convenient to downtown events. The room was clean. Great staff, and they were attentive to our needs. Pay the extra fee for parking. If you park on the main street, you'll be subject to parking meter fees before 6 AM. A very good experience indeed.2015-07-02"

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.
