Alan’s property was very clean and the bed was amazing. We picked this place as our hotel in San Marcos did not meet our standards. We were very pleased with the room and location. 8 minute drive to San Marcos and 15 minute drive to Carlsbad and we were able to take morning walks at the beach and have coffee afterwards. We will definitely stay here again when we come to visit our daughter at CSUSM.

Alan was very responsive which is appreciated. Finding the building was easy but figuring out how to get inside was confusing for us. The doors and rooms are all within a building, like a hotel. We had to enter from the back of the building rather than the front. The room was clean, simple and perfect for a place to sleep. We would stay again if in the area.

Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it. It’s marketed as a studio apartment but it’s a bare minimum hotel room with nowhere to sit other than a single metal chair & the bed. The AC didn’t work well & leaked the whole time it was on, even in “dry” mode. There’s no access to extra towels or wash cloths. The worst part was the noise. The cars & the train were fine, but the building seems to have been built with the cheapest materials possible so you could hear EVERYTHING. There was an entrance/exit directly outside of our room & the entire room shook every time the door was closed. There’s no elevator which made it difficult getting everything up/down. This wasn’t stated anywhere. I got to the room late but was very respectful & changed & went straight to bed when returning. The next day the host messaged about being too loud when I only walked back to the room & went to bed. It was incredibly confusing & a bit insulting. Way too expensive for the bare minimum.
