Always friendly professional staff. Well maintained motel where owners seem to have pride in property. Sadly, the room had a smell even though I could tell how hard the hotel had worked to clean that smell up from some previous occupants. Fortunately, because of the cleaning we were able to overcome the smell and remain in the room.

Front desk was welcoming and polite. Our room was clean and ready to go. Breakfast was ample the next day; not just danishes and juice, there were waffles, oatmeal, bagels, you name it! Less than 10 minutes away from SDSU.
