“good hotel for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

The room was huge, had a king bed and a couch. The tv was a little outdated but that was okay. The room was clean and included a microwave and refrigerator which both came in handy. Our visit was to the San diego botanical garden and del mar and this hotel was conviently located so we could visit both. It is right off the freeway BUT I did not hear one peep from the freeway. Check out was quick and the guy was really nice. I wish I knew his name but he was wearing a san diego chargers sweatshirt that morning.
Only things I wasnt happy with a different guy checked us in... he had kinda unruly hair and he was not personable at all. He was a young guy. I had to ask the questions in order to get checked in. he didnt even bother to tell me where my room was. I had to ask him.
Other thing is there is a median in the road so when you exit the hotel you have to turn right and make a uturn to go towards the freeway.
But I would stay at this hotel again definitely.

“I'd stay here again.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011 via mobile

This place was clean & adequate for our family needs while visiting LegoLand and friends in the area. Nothing fancy but reasonably priced for the area.

“Not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

The front office was nice but that's about where the good part of this review ends. The room was old, very small, the beds were so uncomfortable. The A/C is a wall unit and took a while to get the room chilled but once it did we were freezing. I think we slept half the night and spent the other half tossing and turning. In the morning the breakfast was ok, we actually stopped at McD's afterwards because of the small selection of items. The room where breakfast is served is beyond tiny for the amount of people in there, so not only was the selection at a minimal you have to fight people in a tiny room for a chance to toast your bagel. We didnt go into the pool but it was small and looked ok but the spa was green. The parking is really tight all around. We paid $100.00 a night and checked out after our first night and went to another hotel. I think at best this hotel should be valued at $45.00 a night!

“Nice Sunsets”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

Stayed here on a Business Trip with my Company. Stayed on the third floor and enjoyed the Sunset every night. You actually can see the Ocean from the third floor. Front desk is Quick with the checkin. It is a drive up motel property so i suggest you tery and stay on the residential side because of the I-5 freeway noise. They really try hard to keep the property clean. ENJOY

Room Tip: Top Floor Residential Side is Best

“Great hotel for a trip to Legoland”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

We stayed at this hotel when we took a trip to Legoland in July. We had a two day pass at the park and needed a hotel for a night. It was a 10 min drive to the park right off the highway . Was very clean, had a refrigerator and microwave. Had a double bed room and was quite spacious. Also had laundry facilities which was great b/c we had wet clothes from the water park to wash. Young man at the front desk was very polite and helpful. Check in and out was quick. Morning breakfast was great - fresh bagels, cereals, fruits, etc. Was pleasantly surprised.
