This was my second time staying here. Just a satisfied a the first stay.
Check in was easy and the desk clerk was very nice.
The room was very clean.
I like that it is a very small property.
Dinner was good. The breakfast was fresh and light.
Will be making another trip to San Diego in a few months and will be staying here again.

Cute hotel, very 60's.. nice decor. Super comfy beds. Only downfalls were, no elevator. So if you have a heavy suitcase, be prepared to drag it up the stairs. Other thing. They had very limited parking and still charges $20 to park there. Over all it was decent hotel.

Nice little motel. Great bar area with happy hour. Included breakfast was limited but nice. Service was a little lax when we required towels and sheets for the sofa bed. Limited parking but there is usually street parking. Not far to walk to some nice restaurants.

Excellent stay!! The food looked amazing, wish I had time to have a meal but it was a quick trip for me. The cocktail I had was refreshing; the room was lovely. Breakfast was not much but it was great for someone looking for something light and on the healthier side. The overall vibe was chill, just what I needed.

Nice boutique hotel
Clean, good location, comfortable bed. Clean small pool.
23 rooms, only 10 reserved parking spaces, first come.
No fridge in room. On very busy street, noisy. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

I loved the vibe of this hotel, however going M-W, the restaurant and bar was not available, so that was a bummer. The overall experience was good. My room was a bit dusty and the upstairs people were super loud and a dog was barking (not the hotel’s fault). I would try staying again to experience the restaurant and movie night by the pool.

Wont stay here again
I stayed here thinking it would be great since they advertised it was free breakfast. I was traveling with my 3 kids and so finding a place with free breakfast was important. Upon checking in, I was told there was no free breakfast and only a paid menu. I ordered from the menu and my daughter said the breakfast sandwhich was definitely a frozen jimmy dean. $8 for that! Then later that day I asked if we can use the free bikes. To our suprise all 4 bikes were not working. The air conditioning wasnt working well, bathroom fan took 10 minutes to even work. I wont stay here again. Im very dissapointed. oh and they had the nerves to charge $20 a night for parking when the streets was free. So we took advantage of FREE parking on the streets
