Breakfast was plentiful and good variety. The surrounding area is undergoing a lot of construction, so a bit of noise and sometimes challenging to navigate. Over all a good stay. Beverages available 24/7. Rooms could use an update but overall clean and pleasant.

Older, but clean and comfy! Nice staff!

I was very happy staying here with my daughter to visit CSUSM. Every employee was so nice and helpful, the facility was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is noticeably older, but kept very clean. Breakfast is included and offered a variety of hot and cold options. This hotel is also only a short walk from campus, so perfect for families visiting the college!
