Never staying here again! Front desk was not friendly. Suspicious people loitering around the parking lot and hotel staff was not doing anything about it. Lock on the door didn’t feel secured. Sheets looked dirty and had holes in them. Not worth the price!

Never again
I arrived to 3 Young men in the lobby with no identifying clothing that they were employees. The first room they gave me the door would not open. The second room, the door opened, but would not lock. Reluctantly, one of the gentlemen there came to assist and got it to lock. The bed was worn and not comfortable. There were holes in the wall. Floors were filthy. The towels were dirty. This place should be closed down.

There was nothing to like about that place. It looks like a place where they butchered animals and dragged their bodies all over the hallway. The Place is absolutely disgusting. Dirty hall ways, dirty steps, bed felt like you are sleeping on metal sheets, broken TV, hole on the bathroom door, tiny cheap towels. $.99 towels. Romote had 1 battery. The register guy had an attitude from the signed in. During checked out, his attitude was woret, like I disturbed him or something. I couldn't sleep at all and i was so tired and was looking for a good rest. $133/night for this garbage place? Unreal. That's stealing money. Homeless people surrounding the facility. Place smell like urine and trash. Unbelievable, why would charged that much for a trash place like that?? That's not fair 😕. This place should get shut down for refurbish, point blank.

*** Due to the area I would never stay here again*** Here is my review of this place: Outside area: 0 of 5 stars, it has a lot of homeless right outside the hotel and it is dirty and unsafe at late hours. Front desk: 1of 5 stars, they were really rude and rushed me, they also wanted my details like home address even thought I had shown my ID. Inside room: 2 of 5, not as bad as it looks outside so as long as you hunker down you should be good. The bed was decent but pillows and blankets were questionable. The bathroom was good and the A/C was good that’s why I gave a 2. Parking lot: 1of5, doesn’t look safe to leave your vehicle parked there for a full night. Luckily I uber there. Honestly, if you are short on cash is better to just stay in a hostel downtown, instead of risking it out here. It feels like a gangsters movie hotel where they are waiting for a package. Is not even that cheap I paid 136 dollars, for something that I value at maybe 75. Expedia do yourself a favor and remove this hotel from your listing. I may look for other platforms to book if you don’t QA your hotels.

The ROACHES welcomed us into our room! The only reason we stayed after killing them was because it was non refundable and there was nothing else better than that... Definitely NEVER going there again.. we should have stayed in our car but the area is so loud and unsafe. If you can, please stay somewhere else!

First some facts: it was a motel, not a hotel / its located in the poorer part of San Diego area / at the time it was on the cheaper side of available locations per night / did not spend the days here, only to sleep LIKES: - pricing, although not the best I went during a time that all hotel/motel pricing was high - free parking - outdoor security cameras - 24hr front office - near bus/trolley system - fridge and microwave (a surprise) - it was clean, not pristine but clean DISLIKES: - furniture was in poor state but functional - internet was not secure - interior walls had minimal cosmetic damage (scratches,etc) - towels were small in size and few - bathroom soap and shampoo, tiny and rarely replaced (had to get my own) - no ice machine Would I recommend? - if your expectation is you get what you pay for / reasonable and not expecting pampering, probably so. Would not recommend for a family, however. Would I go again? - Maybe, I went because my options were limited and it was available. I may have gotten lucky on the room type. I was also alone and am used to accommodating short times of living roughly.
