Great little hotel.
Great little hotel off the beaten path. I loved being able to walk to a few restaurants and bars in the evening. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and nice. Only 15 to 20 minutes from the various beaches. Great place.

Close to SDSU
Very close to SDSU, cute pool, two negatives were that I could hear both sides of my neighboring rooms and the room smelled. My suggestion is to use an ozone machine for the smell…

College move in trip
Very convenient for SDSU move in. We had a large truck and had no trouble parking it. A couple times front desk staff was MIA, but the people were very helpful when there. The rooms aren't super fancy, but clean and simple. The bed is quite comfortable. For the price, the rooms could use some updating, but overall a good stay.
