Very basic accommodation. Not terrible, just not good. Didn’t have a coffee maker in the room. Didn’t provide shampoo. No frills at all.

A good place that was close to the Viejas Arena

A bit packed if you'll planning to travel with a group of 4 people, but it's expected if you share a room. We chose to stay here the same weekend to see Ghost play in San Diego! It was serviceable, although we did have to bring our own shampoo and body wash for a more comfortable shower. The only real complaint was that the vending machine needs some maintenance. The numbered items are mixed up, and we tried getting some Oreos but the machine did not allow us to make the purchase. Other than that, this place was alright in my book.

I was completely uncomfortable staying another second there because of another guest staying there was watching us the entire time. He watch me and my daughters off load our vehicle and every time we came out of our room to get something from the car he’d stare at us. He was shirtless with tattoos all over his body. Even went as far as following us to the front desk. So I drove off and called the front. They were unable to refund me even though I explained what was going on. The front desk person just offered to walk me back to my room. Hopefully they will refund me however she told me they can’t then again offered to walk me to my room. That wouldn’t help me and my daughters if we were abducted. This is very sad.
