The staff was very friendly and accommodating. However some of the customers were very rude, selfish and played music very loud and we had to request for management to request to lower the volume. The bedding was not very comfortable either.

The internet service was very poor with very slow connectivity. Housekeeping did not come around until the day I was checking out. Overall, the general condition of the property has seen better days.

Out of the 3 rooms we booked only one was available so we had to find other accomodations. Pool looks like it had not seen water in a decade.

If I could guve 0 stars, I would. The room was filthy. There were stains all over the walls and all over the towels. The floor was dirty. The smoke detector was missing. The door didnt lock from the inside, but would get atuck you couldnt open it. The lock on the outside was broken, too, and took multiple tries to get in. The bathroom window didnt have a lock and could be slid open feom the outside. We were on the first floor. To sum it up, its a filthy fire hazard with no security. And they don't do refunds. Which I'm sure is because they know everyone would want one. We had to pay for a second hotel because it wasn’t safe to stay here and they were adamant about no refunds. So we are out the money after not even using the room. Do not book this place. You will 100% regret it if you do

Never staying here again! Front desk was not friendly. Suspicious people loitering around the parking lot and hotel staff was not doing anything about it. Lock on the door didn’t feel secured. Sheets looked dirty and had holes in them. Not worth the price!

I arrived to 3 Young men in the lobby with no identifying clothing that they were employees. The first room they gave me the door would not open. The second room, the door opened, but would not lock. Reluctantly, one of the gentlemen there came to assist and got it to lock. The bed was worn and not comfortable. There were holes in the wall. Floors were filthy. The towels were dirty. This place should be closed down.

There was nothing to like about that place. It looks like a place where they butchered animals and dragged their bodies all over the hallway. The Place is absolutely disgusting. Dirty hall ways, dirty steps, bed felt like you are sleeping on metal sheets, broken TV, hole on the bathroom door, tiny cheap towels. $.99 towels. Romote had 1 battery.
The register guy had an attitude from the signed in. During checked out, his attitude was woret, like I disturbed him or something. I couldn't sleep at all and i was so tired and was looking for a good rest. $133/night for this garbage place? Unreal. That's stealing money.
Homeless people surrounding the facility. Place smell like urine and trash.
Unbelievable, why would charged that much for a trash place like that?? That's not fair 😕. This place should get shut down for refurbish, point blank.

*** Due to the area I would never stay here again***
Here is my review of this place:
Outside area: 0 of 5 stars, it has a lot of homeless right outside the hotel and it is dirty and unsafe at late hours.
Front desk: 1of 5 stars, they were really rude and rushed me, they also wanted my details like home address even thought I had shown my ID.
Inside room: 2 of 5, not as bad as it looks outside so as long as you hunker down you should be good. The bed was decent but pillows and blankets were questionable. The bathroom was good and the A/C was good that’s why I gave a 2.
Parking lot: 1of5, doesn’t look safe to leave your vehicle parked there for a full night. Luckily I uber there.
Honestly, if you are short on cash is better to just stay in a hostel downtown, instead of risking it out here. It feels like a gangsters movie hotel where they are waiting for a package. Is not even that cheap I paid 136 dollars, for something that I value at maybe 75. Expedia do yourself a favor and remove this hotel from your listing. I may look for other platforms to book if you don’t QA your hotels.

The ROACHES welcomed us into our room! The only reason we stayed after killing them was because it was non refundable and there was nothing else better than that... Definitely NEVER going there again.. we should have stayed in our car but the area is so loud and unsafe. If you can, please stay somewhere else!
6.0 / 10.0
First some facts: it was a motel, not a hotel / its located in the poorer part of San Diego area / at the time it was on the cheaper side of available locations per night / did not spend the days here, only to sleep
LIKES:
- pricing, although not the best I went during a time that all hotel/motel pricing was high
- free parking
- outdoor security cameras
- 24hr front office
- near bus/trolley system
- fridge and microwave (a surprise)
- it was clean, not pristine but clean
DISLIKES:
- furniture was in poor state but functional
- internet was not secure
- interior walls had minimal cosmetic damage (scratches,etc)
- towels were small in size and few
- bathroom soap and shampoo, tiny and rarely replaced (had to get my own)
- no ice machine
Would I recommend? - if your expectation is you get what you pay for / reasonable and not expecting pampering, probably so. Would not recommend for a family, however.
Would I go again? - Maybe, I went because my options were limited and it was available. I may have gotten lucky on the room type. I was also alone and am used to accommodating short times of living roughly.

It was just awful, and you should remove it from your listings for Chula Vista as your information is out of date.

i don’t know where to start, when i got to my original room the door was already open before i could put the key card in, then we actually went into the room there was no latch to the door at all, so we requested another room. When we got to that room there was a big whole on the side of the bed where bugs can come in and out of, where was someone’s initials on the door and the floor was dirty. it’s unfortunate i couldn’t get a refund because i didn’t even stay there more than 20 minutes before getting a different motel.

When we arrived there was a whole bunch of homeless people in the entrance and the people in the office were hanging out there with them, the area seemed very sketchy and dangerous, the front desk guy just asked for my ID as soon as he saw me and did not greeted us, gave a paper to fill out and threw the key on the desk, the room they gave us did not even have a door lock, asked the front desk if we could get a room switch but they were fully booked and we had to put a chair against the door for the night… after settling in, we wanted to get some snacks from the corner store but the stairs were blocked by some guys that looked suspicious, we did not feel safe at all, don’t stay in this motel, the room smelled like cigarettes and it slapped us in the face as soon as we walked in, it was not cozy and the bed was as hard as a rock.. don’t stay here and be fooled by the pictures..very sketch

The front desk person was in a SCREAMING CUSSING match with a guest who was in her UNDERWEAR when me and my 3 yr old child got there. We checked in after 5 pm. DIRTY sheets messy on the bed, no pillows, dirty TOWELS were all on the bathroom floor and wet, no toilet paper. And when I asked 2x for towels and sheets so I could make the bed myself he gave a few towels and 12 pillow cases.

Not bad.

This motel should be avoided. They really have no business being in business in San Diego or anywhere where there is any other hotel option within 20 miles. Here is a summary of what my wife and I encountered: We were in room 219; The door cannot be locked and secured so I put the desk, chair, and our luggage in front of the door; the window in the bathroom has no lock on it, the smoke detector was disconnected, no Kleenex, no place to hang clothes anywhere in the room, no iron or ironing board, no safe for valuables, no hooks or towel rods in the bathroom. The three towels provided were washed but small, old, and stained. The towels looked like oversized, hand towels, rather than bath towels. The bars of soap are so small. They’re almost like single use bar soap. No hair dryer, no soap dish in shower. There is literally no place to set anything in the shower. Soap and shampoo and gel and razors. Everything can only be set on the floor of the shower.
