8/10 Very good

Stayed in an accessible room which was pretty reasonable as these things go. Most of the stay was outstanding, with a few minor exceptions: - The accessible room did not have a fridge - The toilet seat was too small for the bowl and was constantly sliding causing my weight to shift unexpectedly. I know this seems petty to complain about but I'm a wheelchair user with limited ability to use my legs so this was borderline dangerous for me - The coffee shop the first day took so long that people who had paid for their food were leaving without it. - No visible way to recycle That being said, the next time I am in Chula Vista for archery, I will likely stay here again

2/10 Poor

Avoid
This Motel is marketed as a hip trendy place to stay but believe me all is not as it seems. The rooms are dirty, damp and mouldy. We asked to be moved twice because of the smell. My partner got no sleep at all because the mould spores affected her chest so badly. The staff weren’t particularly friendly, no fridge,microwave, iron, wardrobe or any facilities for making drinks. The coffee in the communal area was in fact a coffee SHOP. Please do yourself a favour and avoid this place like covid.

Nice nostalgic hotel
This place has a great nostalgic 70s feel. Remodeled hotel and rooms. Very clean and in a good location. They have a great bistro on site in their lobby area and you get 50% off anything you order when you stay there. Happy to be able to have my smoothies in the morning. Close to a hiking/biking trail to enjoy beautiful views on runs/workouts. The pool area has a nice fire pit and corn hole game you can play. I like the way the pool area lights up at night. Only downside to this hotel is that there’s no microwave or refrigerator in the room. And the curtains don’t fully block the light in the morning from the sun. The bed was pretty comfortable, not the best but also not the worst.
