The room was basic, less “elevated” feeling that Motel 6. The room was relatively quiet given its proximity to a fwy off-ramp. The yelling of homeless camped out on the property lines was off-putting and felt unsafe. The staff was pleasant.

The " newly remodeled" room had painters tape everywhere, the bathroom door did not close. The AC/wall heater just blew outside air with no temperature change. The bathroom mirror was pitted and had paint on it. The bed had a sheet and no comforter. The mini fridge was cold and the location to downtown is nice but thats about it.

The staff could me more friendly, welcoming theirs guess. No other bathrooms except in the rooms no Continental breakfast. It felt like a dead place to relax and enjoy… If you looking for a quick room to get in and get out, I guest it’ll be OK

Please avoid this motel not Hotel as mentioned at any cost. It’s very dirty, rude staff, no parking (you will double park and someone will knock your door at 7am asking to move your car. The worst part is staff very unprofessional. Avoid it at any cost.

Good for a short one night stay. Close to the San Diego Zoo. Very noisy at night. There was a domestic argument/situation in a room close to ours in the middle of the night (not the hotel’s fault). It disrupted our family’s sleep multiple times throughout the late night and early morning.

I would like to send pictures to support how i would describe this property, the condition of the room, the known homeless woman screaming in the halfway at 5:20am. I'm kinda surprised Expedia lists this hotel. I'll look for a customer contact so I can send photos and more information.

Basic, Clean Accommodation
Friendly check-in by receptionist Dora, Our room was basic and very clean. It was an 8 minute drive to Balboa Park. In the evening we walked to The Gaslamp District passing by homeless sleeping on the street, but no problems. Limited on-site free parking. I was told cars may double park to accomodate all, but we had no problem and had our own parking space. We would stay again.

Decent location, NE corner of downtown, able to walk to Gaslamp Quarter. This side of the neighborhood is a little run down—you get what you pay for. The room was passable, nothing special. Saw a few small bugs around, some surfaces weren’t totally clean. Don’t leave open food out in the room. The hotel is currently being remodeled, hopefully this will improve conditions overall, but right now it’s a bit of a mess due to construction.

This review is based on realistic expectations. The price and location were attractive - I want expecting perfection, I was hoping for pleasant people and comfortable accommodations. I was not disappointed!! It's a simple place, it lacks "fancy", it has a lot of courtesy and convenience. If you're heading to the convention center you're a few dollars away, with no lobby crowd competing for your ride. It's a very walkable location, but I used Uber to grab dinner - again, just a few dollars away. The headquarters hotels for the trade show (3 to 4X the $) were sold out, so I took a chance on this place. The next time, I'm choosing this place, first choice - I'll spend the money I save on great food and exploring the area - and still sleep comfortably here.
