There are no motels/hotels available within walking distance to the
college, but you may want to check the following local motels for
temporary stays until you find permanent housing. These motels
are all within 10 miles of campus and are located next to or near
bus stops or trolley stations. Prices listed below are based
on special discount rates available to Grossmont College students.
Prices are approximate only, and are subject to change. Below
each hotel listing is a set of instructions for using public
transportation from the hotel to Grossmont College, with
corresponding travel times. It is a good idea to make your
room reservation well in advance of your arrival. Remember,
you are responsible for making your own motel/hotel reservations.
To make your reservation, have ready your 1) arrival and departure
dates; 2) number of people to stay in room; 3) smoking/non-smoking
preference; and 4) credit card information to guarantee reservation
(exact name and spelling of card-holder, number and expiration
date). When making your reservation, be sure to mention
that you're a Grossmont College student and want the discounted room
rate.
