Not overall a bad property for price. BE CAREFUL IN THE SHOWER, not only did I fall but my significant other fell in the shower due how to slippery the tub is. Definitely needs a grip matt or something before an injury occurs

All in all it was a good place for the price. The gentleman at the fron desk was friendly. Microwave was broken and it smelt a bit musty. I'm paranoid about every hotel i sleep in so i generally bring sanatizing spray and pillow cases.

Room smelly toweks used too old and thin, not clean. Deposit supposed to be on hold and pending by other hotels then can cancle the transaction so you dont need to pay a few, but this hotel first charged your credit card first then refund so you have to lost the two times covertion rate charged by the bank. The area is not walk in distance to good location

As soon as we got to the parking lot we noticed so many homeless people camping next to the hotel, the hotel looked run down and old. We walked through the hallway to get to our room , the carpet on the hallway was extremely filthy , we walked inside the room and it was a disappointment, the bathroom smelled like humid, the room was dusty and there was big roaches outside our door. We got catfished with the pictures

There are long term tenants and the area is sketchy! Heard fights next door to us every night. The parking is atrocious. Had to wake someone up at 6:30am to move their car. Literally drug deals everywhere and one of the long term tenants was scoping out the parked cars!!
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025

Perfect budget motel for work. No frills it is all about a cheap nights stay with good wifi. Central to the San Diego area. Drive in drive out. Price price price. Not a luxury in motel not a casual hotel. But if your needing a place on budget and central to San Diego downtown and close to everything not a bad place. But it is in proximity to the homeless but I would stay there again for work.
