Rooms are decent for the price and met our needs. Love how close it is to everything... restaurants, stadium, Gaslamp, and even stores. One of the rooms had a light that wasn't working but staff did come up to fix it. We paid for parking but came back to the hotel late one night and someone else was parked in our assigned space. Thankfully we were allowed to park in the handicap space, otherwise we would of had no where to park.

Don't stay here.

Terrible experience. Wood was rotting around bathroom door. Refrigerator didn't work. Ceiling tiles appear to about to fall. Toilet didn't flush. Carpet stains down the hallway. Some lights didn't turn off in the room. TV screen burnt out and discolored.

Guest of the day wasnt sure what that was about but it gave me an upgraded room because of it. Ill be rebooking here even if it was a one time deal the price was good and the level of noise being in the city was very low for being near the busy area. The front desk staff was great helped me with all my questions and made everything swift.

Ghetto Motel

The pictures the have are completely Bogus. The room stunk and the flooring was coming up in the room, . My daughter had just had surgery and almost fell because of the flooring coming up. It was a horrible place, full of dogs.
