“What a nightmare!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

What a nightmare! Checked in at 9:30 pm with my elderly father and had to vacate the room at 1am due to the room conditions. When I had to kill a cockroach before setting my bag down I should have left immediately! The tub drain was clogged and a foul odor was coming from all the drains in the room. Linens were marginally clean and towels were so thin I could see through them. The worst part was that the room had been sprayed with some type of chemical to cover odors and it was so toxic that both my dad and I were ill for more than 24 hours after vacating the room. The beds, carpets, drapes and pillows were saturated with this nasty smelling stuff. We did receive a full refund before leaving, but making a 90 year old man dress and go without a good night's sleep was not fun. For $30 more, we spent the next night in a Best Western that was immaculate and included breakfast.

“Clean and economical”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

We stayed here for our trip to Legoland. It was very clean. The beds were uncomfortable, but what we expected. The staff was very helpful. There is a grocery store, Starbucks, and dining across the street. The beach is literally walking distance away. The room is SMALL though. There is not much room at all.

“Good reasonable rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The rate was reasonable- $70 per night particularly for the area where hotels get very expensive. This was a better hotel than a 3 star we stayed at in San Diego that was double the price. We were here for two nights, and spent very little time in the hotel so it was good enough for a "crash pad" The bathroom was clean- showers were good. The bed was comfortable enough. Basic, average lodging.

What a dive, $90.00 a night stayed only one of two nights. slept only 3 hours due to upstairs noise. Want to see a real bad room, check out the handicap room at this joint. Everything about this room....old

“NOISY! BEWARE! Refrigerated Trucks in Front!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011

This is a great value except for one thing: Each night there was at least one, sometimes several, huge refrigerated semi-trucks parked right in front, making noise all night, with the noise rumbling through the rooms. The management should be making noise complaints to the police -- instead, they said that the truckers were guests of the hotel and that sometimes they would ask them to park elsewhere. If I were running this business I would be complaining to the city -- preventing this so that my guests could sleep. Apparently there are nightly complaints about the noise, but the management does not seem to care. After the fourth night I finally left, and I will not stay here again until this problem is remedied. Unbelievable!
