Very convenient location with easy access to multiple locations. The room wasn’t clean, especially room floor was dirty and the bathroom was too small with no ventilation.

Dirty Shower And A Bit Noisy

Upon arrival, check in was easy. Once to our room, it seemed clean and comfortable. The following morning when I went to take my shower, I noticed flakes of soap and small black hairs in the soap dish. I looked at the tub area more closely and discovered. a long black hair. This was alarming as it told me the shower had not been cleaned from the previous guest. I wore my flip flops in the shower because, ewe. When we were leaving for the day, I stopped by the front desk and showed pictures to the receptionist and asked if she would send someone to clean the shower. She apologized and stated she would try to have someone clean it. Try? Ok… We arrived back to our room and the shower had not been cleaned. We will not be staying at this hotel when we return to San Diego.

You get what you pay for

If you have kids , or if you don’t like getting asked if you want drugs, than pay the extra $20 dollars and stay at another hotel. This hotel price was cheap and I understand why now , I asked the front desk to move me rooms and complained about all the people outside my room and in the parking lot smoking weed and was told they couldn’t do anything for me. I asked for a refund and I would just go find another hotel to sleep in and was told they could only give me a partial refund even thou there property is littered with drug addicts. If you want a peaceful hotel to stay at, this is not it.
