Stayed here for three nights. The place was clean, beds were great, breakfast was adequate. The room had a microwave and refrigerator which got well used. The owners were replacing these two items in all the rooms, by the way, so many rooms, if not all, have new ones. The construction of the facility ensures that the place is safe.... More

We stayed for six nights. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave recommendations and directions for places to find a good dinner near by and for places to go and see. They also helped us in finding our way around for the activities we had already planned. The hotel was very convenient... More

I stayed 10 days. The room was clean. The WiFi always worked. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is very convenient situated, not only by car, but also by trolley or bus. 7 to 10 min walk to the 8th Street trolley station. Very good cost/performance ratio. A good alternative, if you can´t find a cheap hotel in... More

Upon arrival the motel seemed very nice and pleasant. The staff were friendly and immediately checked us in. However, once we entered the room, we quickly checked it out and it didn't take long to find a COCKROACH chilling out in the bath tub. I was not impressed in the slightest. I immediately went and confronted the person at the... More

While staying here, visited Midway Naval Museum, Tijuana, and San Diego Zoo. Easy access and close to Zoo and Museum. Walked (10 minutes) to Trolley to go to Tijuana (30 minutes) - walked across. Room was functional and inexpensive. Maid service was good; breakfast was a little weak. All things considered - a good deal. More

Hotel is located near I-5 expressway, there is some noise from it but overall the room was quiet. There are two entrances to this hotel, the other entrance has a locked gate. There is a... More

I recently stayed a few days at the Howard Johnson Express Inn in National City. At first I was concerened about the area, but after my first night all my concerens were gone. I don't know where to start. I was searching for a room on-line not realizing it was the week of Comic Con in San Diego. I came... More

The hotel Mgrs all shifts were nice , friendly and helpful. They had good restaurant, sight seeing and travel information. The rooms were neat and well maintained and the cleaning staff did an excellent job cleaning the room. I will stay there again if I go back to that part of California. More

Prior to arriving, we were absolutely terrified because of the awful reputation National City has. We expected the worst. We were wrong!!! The motel was literally right off the 5, in between the rodeway and super 8. Quiet street, not anywhere near the "nasty" of "Nasty City" as the car rental agents called it. The manager Neil was so pleasant... More
