About this property

Welcome to Holiday Lodge Motel

```html

Holiday Lodge Motel is a modest 3.5-star accommodation located in the US-Mexico border suburb of San Ysidro, offering convenient access to Larsen Field park and Las Americas Outlets for shopping and dining. This basic motel provides essential amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, free parking, and accessibility features, but does not offer a pool, restaurant, or fitness center. Guests check in from 3 PM onwards, and the property features a quiet, well-maintained environment according to recent guest feedback.

The motel’s straightforward rooms have been described as clean, though some guests noted they are older and basic in style, with occasional reports of minor issues like slippery tile floors or occasional pest sightings. Staff are generally regarded as friendly and accommodating, with praise for helpfulness and a relaxed atmosphere in the parking area.

Place was not bad at all.but the tile floor is slippery when your feet is wet,so when you're coming out of shower,the first step coming out is a lu-lu.when a person is a fall risk and has a walker to get around,maybe not good idea.staff was friendly. Room was clean.

Review is for parking. Best place to park near the border hands down. Only drawback is the lot is often full lately.

The room is very basic, unfortunately I've seen a few roaches, the lady comes by every morning sometimes a little too early to give us towels and toilet paper, the prices are average but the location is the best. Being this close to the border is very beneficial to me so it's good.
