The bed was clean which is the main requirement of any hotel, so we were generally satisfied with Motel San Diego. However, the sticky surfaces, nails sticking out of the window frame, and a general need of hastily done repairs left us with a mitigated impression. Not exactly the most picturesque area of town but very well located in a central location. Would mainly recommend for a short stay of a few days in San Diego.

Location to access highways very good with the exception always having to go south to leave and enter from the north. Room service was non-existing. Nothing but microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator; no utensils. Great water pressure and temperature. Free parking and right in front of room.

Budget Friendly, Accepted My Pet, Nice View

I had to find a place to stay last minute due to a building maintenance issue in my apartment. I had to bring my cats along with me. There was a nice view of maintained green foliage with some colorful flowers out of the room window. I barely noticed the I5 freeway close by. The customer service was friendly, polite and responsive. The room is comfortable for being an older motel.

You get what you pay for

Over all it was an OKAY place…good for a single night …I wish they have more realistic photos of what to expect. People travel and might not be familiar with the areas so the more honest of expectations the better. Over all good and clean just wish the advertising was more realistic. The front desk man was very sweet and professional so was house keeping. Again over all in a crunch amd price I would stay here again.
