The overall stay was great; however, they failed to mention that there was a parking fee for each day prior to booking and that the pet deposit was for each day instead of one fee. When we got our bill we were less than thrilled to see extra fees on this.

Great stay!
Overall, we had a great stay. The property is clean and comfortable and has been updated. The beds are comfortable. There are several food options close by and a Costco across the street. We were in town for parents’ weekend at SDSU and the hotel was close to campus. I wish they had cleaned our room at least once during our stay - I’m sure they would have if we had asked. Hotel staff very helpful. Breakfast was great - lots of options.

No hot water ! No notice
There was no hot water . The bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed
The hot water was what we needed after a long cold night out
It was horrible
I’d be happy with a refund because we stayed and had to deal with all that too tired to look for another place

The breakfast was very nice.
Location was convenient for us.
Tub drain stopper was broken but we forgot to report it.
Saw security guard outside in dark of early am so was glad to see that since we had things in the bed of our truck we couldn’t put inside to be safe.

Anna and the rest of the front desk staff did an amazing job in helping out my family and I with all our needs. They were very informative and were always willing to help if there was something we needed. The staff that was working during breakfast time did an amazing job at making sure everything was stocked and that everyone was doing okay. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would definitely come back and recommend to people that are thinking of making a trip down there.
