I found out why this place got such good reviews. I spent three days there while going to a meeting downtown. I wanted a good value, and quiet so I could review my meeting notes at night. I wasn't interested in going out to eat, I wanted a kitchen to do it myself, again because of time. It was a... More

Dear Jack B. It is hard not to blush after reading your review of your stay, but I will get over it. It is particularly pleasing that you made use of the added outlets we recently mounted to the bedside area. This was one of those ideas that came from listening to our guests, and responding to their needs. Again,... 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.
