"First hostel turning age 60 soon!! Loved it! Great space! The only problem was that a Bay Arean who was exiled with her grandkids in San Diego Cty from 2016-24, left in 2024 and is now back for 3-4 weeks and then will head back home to the Bay was not able to continue staying due to ID with SD county address. Total shame and exclusionary. I get that it’s an industry standard but it would have been great to continue on! Great kitchen!! Great amenities! Staff was great! Recommend!!! "

5/5 Excellent

"I didnt like payment for parking. The hotel is ok. Friendly sraff"

5/5 Excellent

Great Stay

"This comfort inn is in an industrial area near the airport and Stadium. While a bit out of the way and not the easiest to get to with one way streets, it is a very clean well appointed motel. Only problem is the industrial traffic and noise started at 6 am and is loud and constant. Bring earplugs if you plan to sleep in. One other note: this is a huge complex that is 3 stories tall. The elevator is at the farthest end of the last building. Unless you are able to climb stairs or carry luggage from one end of the building to the other ask for a ground floor or a room near the elevator. "
