Staff were all great. The breakfast was poor quality with no healthy choices. Worst part of the stay was the loud guests above us stumping around their room through the two nights, and their air conditioner dripping on ours all night making a drumming sound. Won’t be returning.

Beware poor service, hidden fees, very low budget operation. Food is worse than Junior High School cafeteria, shower has only lukewarm water, no daily room cleaning service, $20/night charge for parking in outdoor lot with very small spaces, lots of traffic noise. Most of the guests appear to be truckers and construction workers who make a lot of racket.

I have stayed here five times now when visiting my daughter at SDSU. Fabulous stays. The staff is thoughtful and helpful always. Rooms are clean and the breakfast is very well prepared, with healthy options and, once again, the hotel staff in charge of the breakfast always asks if there's anything they can get for us.
