A nice spot. All the right touches

Nicely appointed private studio. Very clean and very welcoming and comfortable. Great minimalist design. You will check-in somewhere else so read the details before you drive to the actual destination. Don’t quite know how the tv channels worked. There was only one, also bring your own Keurig pods our ground coffee, an ice tray and an iron.

Pros: It was ok for the price. It was spacious. Cons: Missing trash can. Missing light bulb in the bedroom.

Decent stay for the price

Robert, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Places run terribly everybody that lives at this apartment hates management. It does not have any amenities even a one star hotel would have the room wasn’t ready until after 4 PM. The key card is at another hotel 4 miles away. If you have to pick it up at 4 PM, you’re stuck in traffic to get to the next place not well fought out management doesn’t care and if you leave a second after checkout time, your car doesn’t work and you’re locked out of the building, not really sure how they even have a license because when I asked, they couldn’t provide it to me

2/10 Poor

I did see in the reviews you had to pick up the key somewhere else, so I got the address ahead of time which was ok. What i didnt like was parking was double booked. Someone was in my assigned spot and it took like 30 minutes to get ahold of someone and get a new spot. My stay was for 4 people and only two towels. The shower drain was full of hairs. No extra blankets for the pull out couch. The tv does not work so yeah we were bored before bedtime. The most sucky part is these bad comments have been stated and they do nothing to address it. Not staying here again.

2/10 Poor

That was scary

Nobody ever acknowledged me, it was an apartment space and I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully the motel I had to find honored my reservation

6/10 Good

very average. nothing too notable. had all the standards so can’t complain.
Theresa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

To tired to wait, for the extra steps

You have to go to another motel to get the keys and wait nearly an hour to check in because the hotel agent at the desk is responding to a third party online and can't view your check-in automatically so you have to wait after a long trip; One is tired! But after that, the place is very pleasant.

4/10 Fair

Smelled moist vent in bathroom was gross needs a deep clean I found roaches on kitchen cabinets when I was packing up and tiding up

Kicked me out for cooking food

It was a nice place overall the only thing that I did not agree with was our room had four smoke detectors... Well 2 smoke detectors and 2 carbon monoxide detectors... Which would constantly go off at the slightest amount of steam or smoke when I was cooking... It was so frustrating. Management and the maintenance guy... (Or at least that's what they said) Showed up to my door and kicked me out! No refund, no offer to move me and my fiançee to another room, no any other accommodation, nothing! Just get out, the cops have been called, thank you very much. So unfortunately this brought my stay to an abrupt end. I have yet to receive a refund of any sort. Everything else about the property is acceptable.

Read the reviews

I should have read the reviews beforehand. Very inconvenient to check in 5 miles away, with no response to voice or text messages. This could be an acceptable place but the lack of bedding on the pull out couch combined with the paper thin discount bedding on the main bed made sleeping for more than one impossible. On the street parking isn't as bad as others state as there were a few places near juvenile hall- I vascilated between worrying about tickets or break ins. Luckily it only rained 2 nights while i was there. What a shame. With a responsive or caring manager, this apartment could complete with other motels in the area

The whole room was filthy, hair on the bed and all over the floor. Shower was disgusting. White stains on couch. Worst place I’ve ever stayed at.

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs. Not a hotel. An apartment building where you have to get key 5 miles away at 4pm which puts you in dead stop San Diego traffic on any given weekday. If you check out one minute late, your key doesn’t work anymore and you cannot get your stuff or into the building the managers or the owner Victoria Fox runs it like a slumlord everybody that lives in the building hates management and says it’s wrong like a POS. There are no glasses. There are no amenities like cups coffee or anything you would expect even from a one star motel. My room wasn’t ready until after 4 PM even after sitting in traffic although the cleaning people are very nice the place is just run terrible. There was no cable while I was there and that seems pretty consistent on a normal basis with most of the tenants that live there. Parking situation was not properly explained and apparently I parked in another person spot and pissed that person off because it happens all the time because of management just really really unfortunate way to run a building. Yes it’s cheap but you’re paying for the cheapness.

Good stay.. whiny Tennant

I liked how it was more like an apartment but if you need a new key or if there is a discrepancy with the parking you have to drive to hotel circle to pick anything up and yhe number you have to call no one ever answers.... But all in all it was a really nice experience. Only thing that left a bad taste in myouth was one of the tenants complained directly to me cause my motorcycle was too loud.... It was 4 in the afternoon, and I wasn't being rude like over revving my bike or trying to make noise... I get where he's coming from but he threatened me and told me that he would have me kicked out. Well I apologized even though I didn't think I was in the wrong., and your window is right by the motorcycle parking, he could of came at me a little more respectful.... But you can't really control what other tenants are going to say to you or treat you. But besides that it was a good stay.
