Chose this hotel because the location was convenient. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was impressed with the knowledge and friendliness of the hotel staff.....above and beyond expectations. On a scale of 1 to 10 the entire staff would get at least a 12. I needed an extra night and got it with no problems. Had a... More

“Excellent choice for college area”

Reviewed 29 April 2013 via mobile

Clean, updated rooms, nice grounds, friendly staff, pet friendly, and free wi-fi. I was having work done on my house and needed to find a pet friendly place to stay. This motel far exceeded my expectations. This isn't in the most "tourist" location, but if you want a motel near SDSU, you will not do better.
