Cheap price good bed unfortunately property is being remodeled on the outside didn't affect our stay but close to lego land sea world and san diego zoo and freeway . Nice staff good customer service slept well and comfortable bed
The hotel is currently under renovation, but the rooms are brand new. Everything was very comfortable, with all-new furnishings, A/C, bedding, and bathrooms. It’s also close to the beach. It’s a great deal when the weather is nice and you can spend the whole day at the beach!
To be honest, the outside looks a bit dark and it was under constraction. However, the inside made up for the outside. The room was super clean and with a modern design.
very clean updated room with modern decor. Check-in lady was knowlegeable and very kind. Grab and go breakfast was very limited and dissapointed. Attendant didn't respond to questions if more items were available and trash can was overflowing!

clean room, no microwave, noisy aircon. newly renovated/ undergoing renovation,so it smells fine. ok for the price i pay. very close to moonlight beach. I they start charging more the breakfast should change too.
There are no coffee pots or microwaves in the rooms. The automatic bathroom light is annoying in the middle of the night. There should be a way to turn it off. A fan runs all of the time in the bathroom. The room was nicely remodeled and very clean. The lobby is being remodeled so breakfast is pretty on existent.
There's a reason it's the cheapest hotel near Moonlight Beach- it's under construction. Parking is difficult (tight) the TV didn't work and there isn't a pool. Its right next to the freeway so its convenient if your not going to the beach or riding a bike.
For a basic hotel it was just what we needed. It was close to the beach. Close to the train station. It had just been remodeled so it was super clean and everything was new. The pool was under construction too, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, for a cheap hotel it was perfect.

The room itself was very nice and had recently been renovated. The bed was comfy and so were the pillows. The building is being renovated, so the lobby was not available, and there was construction equipment around the parking lot. The location is great being less than a mile from the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The rooms are renovated and very clean, but there is still construction going on in the lobby and many other areas of the hotel, so it doesn't look nice outside rooms. Staff are cordial and professional, even though they don't have a reception area. Location is excellent.
The rooms have already been redone and are surprisingly nice. A real value at this price point. The grounds of the hotel are still under construction, so the outside looks a bit messy. Great location, helpful staff. Great price at $118 per night in July.
This hotel boasts an excellent location right off the freeway, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. The property offers ample parking, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and highly functional. While there is some remodeling in the location, the staff remains attentive, informative, and readily available to assist with any needs.
Th property was undergoing renovation. It was hard to find the office to check in. Our room was considered fully renovated and was clean and adequate. But whatever they did to make the beds Queen-sized was with some weird extender frame and when one sat on one side of the bed it creaked and lowered quite a bit. So, I slept on the non-lowering side of the bed! Not an impressive property but adequate.
