I've asked several people why the vibe is SO much different and better here than at Economico which is just across the street. It's way more quiet; the rooms are way more spacious and clean; more things work here; etc. Cooler temps in the rooms. The price difference is really not that much-just a dollar or 2. They have the same free-breakfast situation with the cafe across the street. For a quick overnight or on a budget? Yeah come here. It's all good.

I stay here often because it's convenient location, clean rooms, and friendly staff. As far as hotels within this area and of comparable price, this is one of the best. The included breakfast and the becoffee isn'tst in town but I still enjoy eating the eggs mexicanas in the morning.

I recently stayed again at this hotel, previously known as Hotel San Diego. I arrived on Saturday morning of a holiday weekend, and as usual they accommodated me with a room. My room was the last available in the hotel- the jacuzzi room! I of course did not use the jacuzzi, but it was a nice option. I have been staying at this hotel for approximately four years, and while it does not offer all of the bells and whistles of larger, newer establishments, the basics have always been provided. My main likes include: secure parking, good free breakfasts, secure hotel rooms/entrance, acceptable lines/towels, and clean rooms. Main concerns include: inconsistent wi-fi signal, inconsistent hot water, front desk staffing, and potential plumbing issues. Overall the hotel deserves five stars given the hotel’s age, wear, and rate charged. I will continue staying there.
