It looked nice but it was cheap nice.
Nothing worked. The tv was out and the plugs in the wall didn’t work either. Wish I could get a refund but it was too late.

In the past to weeks have used booking .com 4 properties ...it's been the same at all. I get the discount the first nite only..the next two nights I get hammered 20 t30 bucks per nite.I also find it odd that out of 13 nites I have yet to get maid service.what are the chances that 2 of the 4 properties the TV didn't work and when I notified staff completely disregarded as if shouldnt be expected. Strange.
The lack of knowing what the next nite room rate would be and they all had a problem with giving me a receipt so I can expense the .all 4 properties too deposit from 50 to 200.none gave a receipt for a deposit.

Location was exactly where I wanted to be, the price good, room and bathroom clean, shower temperature was perfect.
Noisy, not front desk 24 hours open, and just soup and chips to offer

Good value. Very Clean. Minimalist.
Cable TV was not working. They said this was due to someone using some high power electronics in the area.

Very clean and surprisingly nice for the money spent. Almost luxury level but for motel price. Bananas
Parking is crazy. Very very tight. Rules for getting your deposit back are a little strict but not hard to abide by

My car was not broken into, no infestation of rodents or bugs, the hot water worked, decent sized fridge and new microwave
Price was unreasonable and had to pay a deposit, staff had limited business hours so they weren't available for any needs, no phone in the room for help, outlets didn't work properly, ac unit sparking and the heat didn't work, lights had a short, bed lumpy and uncomfortable, stains on the sheets, mismatched second hand furniture, they had advertised blackout curtains but they were just regular thin curtains, very limited parking, no access for wheelchairs and the whole place was on a slope so elderly would have trouble walking, no extra amenities of any kind outside the room, bed had no blanket, there was no iron for my clothes, dirty towels, wifi password goven but wasn't told the name of the access, place was advertised as a hotel but it is a motel, overall false advertising and no refunds allowed

They kept my $75 deposit because I unplugged the TV (there were about 6 plugs behind there that I unplugged) and he would have to re-set all of the surveillance they have in that room. They are definitely broadcasting people in their rooms. Awful place. Podophiles and criminals.

The customer service was good, seemed like they genuinely care. Parking was okay, I received my $75 deposit back within 1-2 days.
The location is a bit sketchy, other tenants were a bit sketchy, but overall I had no issues. I do not like that it’s advertised on Booking as a hotel when it’s absolutely a motel. Both in name and appearance. This is false advertisement, and needs to be corrected.

Absolutely nothing
Room was dirty, curtains had no privacy, bed was extremely uncomfortable, parking was terrible, overall outside of building was sketchy, garbage all around outside, dirty facilities, looked nothing like photos, it was the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had

For breakfast they just give you one snack. That's it.. and some coffee that is disgusting
The hotel shower was disgusting and the shower head looked like it was about to fall off. The floors were cracked and dirty. The sink was disgusting. Lighting was horrible and had like 3 different lights with 3 different colors. The bed was so flimsy and not comfortable at all. There was roaches. And the customer service sucked. The towels we got were stained before we even used them.

Hotel was good, had everything you need in the room.
The electricity went out in a part of the city, we had no electricity all night, did not use any of the amenities due to that. I understand it’s not the hotel’s fault, but no reimbursement or discount was given to us at all.

everything. extremely clean, well maintained, quiet, and very accommodating staff.
the only negative about this place is the available parking. super limited.
8.0 / 10.0
This place was exactly what I needed to recover after getting sick. It's close to the El Cajon Station and a 7 Eleven is close by too. I was skeptical as the ratings are not that good, but the room was modern, clean and convenient. It had everything I needed for my 2 nights stay.
Staff wasn't at the reception until 10am which made checkout or extension complicated. Checkin could be faster.
