I love the property but the cigarette butts caused me $600 at the emergency vet to have my pup get a shot of apomorphine to vomit up the cigarette butts I did not see her grab and charcoal w/ asorb. Please put out ash trays.

The location is directly off of HWY 78 and about 5 minutes from CSUSM which is convenient for us since my daughter goes to school there. There is shopping center about 2 minutes that includes Starbucks, Raising Canes and Broken Yok. Very cool The rooms have a small kitchen including a full size refridge which is great for left overs or keeping drinks cold.

Overall a very nice place. I have stayed 2x & both times both elevators have been broken. I have also been charged both times for me service dog even though I presented her DOC forms and her service dog licensing. I was not charged by the ladies who checked me in but I was told the manager that came In the next day had ran both charges after my stay had ended. This is the only reason that I would not recommend this hotel. All of the staff were kind and welcoming but the manager seemed to have a problem each time that she had no desire to tell me about she just instead waited until I left and added on charges that my dog should not be charged for. 👎
