This was a decent hotel to stay at if you’re traveling and not planning to spend too much time in the room. Overall, it was clean, new/fresh towels in the room, and everything worked. It’s in a great location so you can walk around in little Italy. It’s not some big, fancy hotel but you get a good deal for your money.

The room was so comfortable and in a perfect location. The bed was great, the AC worked like a champ, and the shower was exceptional. The location - within walking distance to everything we wanted to see - meant that we didn't get in our car the whole time!

    We had an early flight so the location near the airport was a plus, as was the free parking and free WI-FI. The complimentary breakfast was rather minimal but it did the job. However, the breakfast room was way too small for the size of the motel. This is an economy motel so I didn't expect luxurious furnishings, but the room was clean and the mattress extremely comfortable, so no complaints in that respect.

    Quaint motel with complimentary coffee in the lobby. Free parking and located really near Old Town Transit Centre. Rooms are ideal size and bathroom hidden behind a partition wall. Two sinks. Little bath. Fixed shower..plenty of hot water. Lovely pool on site was heated to 80f. Staff really helpful and breakfast was standard complimentary fare. So good we booked a 2nd night. Good job folks!

    We loved this apartment. It was huge, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The location is good and we walked everywhere, except to Old Town which was just too far. We got an Uber there. The bed was very comfortable. We easily found free parking on the road outside, that runs alongside the park.

    Free parking was a bonus. The breakfast provided was basic but appreciated. San Diego Old Town was about a 15 minute drive away from the motel and there were several restaurants within walking distance.
