The location was fantastic for visiting my daughter who attends SDSU. The hotel itself is lovely and exceeded my expectations. The king room I was looked recently renovated. My only complaint is a loud fan in the bathroom that could not be turned off. It was a very minor annoyance. We kept the bathroom door shut while sleeping and we did not complain to the front desk about it.

We were impressed with staff professionalism and hospitality. When booking this stay, we did not realize this property was a motel style with external doors and were concerned with the quality we would experience. However we enjoyed our stay overall and ran into zero issues. Quiet hours were respected and housekeeping staff maintained our room throughout our week long stay. Areas were cleaned and maintained well. We would stay here again.

Rooms were not clean and smelled like mold. We woke in the morning with bed bug bites. Requested to check out a day early and hotel refused to refund for the day we did not stay. Expedia was unable to provide any refund despite the unacceptable conditions.
