Maid service was excellent, but the office service was not good. Lack of understanding English with one of the office workers.
A safe place to stay while I attended a concert at Petco. The a/c worked great, the place was clean though it did have a slight odor of cigarette smoke. Plenty of parking. I recommend for friends going out and not having to pay the crazy prices of Gaslamp or other downtown hotels. Staff was very friendly.

Location is great, close to San Diego City and the beach.
The hotel needs upgrade. Surrounding is also not the best
Hotel room is fine, however the shower curtain let a lot of water onto the bathroom floor, the bathroom door was difficult to close and the smell wasn't great but you get used to it.
The surrounding area is okay but seemingly unsafe and has a lot of homeless walking around.
Right when we walked in and turned on the lights cockroaches were on the walls and on the floor. Roaches on the bath towels. We took photos and showed it to the front desk. They went to the room and sprayed Raid to kill the roaches and came back showed us the bottle of Raid and said they are gone now. What a joke! He tired to offer another room but most likely there’s roaches there also. We also notice prostitution going on right out side of the hotel. We tried to get our money back and they wouldn’t give it back and Expedia only gave us $25 out of the $200 for the night that we paid for. I’ll make sure to read reviews before booking again.
We have stayed at this motel several times and we’ve had no problems whatsoever. The staff is courteous and the motel is decent. We can go to the store and there are several places to eat within wakking distance.
I requested and paid for a non-smoking room, according to the clerk my room was a nonsmoking room. This was not true as soon as we walked in the room smelled like cigarettes, it was a strong smell. For the price that we paid, the experience and expectations were not met.
I shopped online for the best prices. PO no we're in the website does it say that naked woman were going to be working the streets in every corner of the hotel is one thing. Yes 2 doors down a loud party with prostitute having no shame around a 5 and 14 year old boy. I went to San Diego to enjoy the beach not to be disturbed in so many ways. On top of that we get there the TV wasn't working because it wasn't plugged. There was no maintenance on site and they couldn't go e me another room to move to. Also there was blood on the ceilings and there's tick stains or black stains on the sheets I was scared to sleep, that I didn't sleep. I felt like a horrible mother exposing my kids to that and having to pay so much money for a really bad experience. Not a good feeling to have to live when I work so hard to feel less than what I am.
Upon arrival the person that way at the window for check in stated that there was an additional $20 dollar deposit which was not stated at the time of booking online. I let him know that when booking online it does not let you know about this policy and he just kept says “$20 cash deposit” and completely ignored what I was saying. Inside the motel the sheets were dirty, the towels were dirty, as well as the shower curtain. Would not recommend staying here to anyone.
