The hotel's location is convenient, although it may not suit everyone's preferences. The rooms, while equipped with essential amenities like a fridge and microwave, had some cleanliness issues. The service was friendly and accommodating, but lacked knowledge in certain areas. The dining options were limited, and the hotel facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was convenient and close to everything I needed, the room was disappointing due to its outdated and run-down condition. The service was friendly when needed, but could have been more accommodating. The dining experience was average, and the facilities could use some improvement.
Rooms
5.0
The room I stayed in was on the second level in the middle, which made it a long hike to either stairs or the old elevator at each end of the building. The room itself was run down and outdated, with holes in the trim and wall in the bathroom. It smelled like cigarettes, and the furniture was dirty throughout my stay.

The service I received was a mix of friendly and less accommodating. While some staff members were great, others were not as friendly or helpful, especially when I requested extra towels.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and decent for the price, but unfortunately, they smelled like cigarettes and the furniture was dirty. On the bright side, the location was convenient for nearby food and shopping, although the strong perfume in the room was a bit overwhelming at first.

I had a bit of a rough start with the rooms as I didn't book on time and had to follow an employee to the laundry room just to get my towels. The room itself made me feel like I needed a shower after spending even a few minutes inside, and the absence of an elevator was inconvenient.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the motel. While the rooms had a faint smell of cigarettes and only had full-size beds instead of queens, the overall experience was quite decent. The service, though nothing fancy, was clean and relaxing, with surprisingly little freeway noise. The location was convenient for my needs, close to the train station and easy to reach Qualcomm, even though it was adjacent to a graveyard. However, the dining options were limited, with only a 7-11 available for meals, which was a downside.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a few minor drawbacks. The service is friendly, but could use some improvement. The location is convenient for specific activities, but lacks accessibility to dining options. The dining experience is satisfactory but limited. Overall, the facilities are decent for a simple accommodation.

My stay at the hotel was somewhat unexpected as I ended up in a Motel 6 due to the split level design. The room had a slight smoke smell throughout my stay, which was not ideal. Despite this, the service was surprisingly good with very little freeway noise, and the room, while nothing fancy, was clean and relaxing.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms were located inconveniently on the second level in the middle, requiring a long walk to either end of the building for the stairs or using the old elevator. However, I did appreciate having a refrigerator and a nice-size table in the room. Unfortunately, there was an unpleasant infestation of either bed bugs or roaches, and I had to personally ask an employee to accompany me to the laundry for towels.
