Javier, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was ok. Outside looks a little run down but the rooms were clean and comfortable enough.
Amy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Better than anticipated, beating low expectations

This is typical lodge in a big city center. Close to MTS, but the walk may be on the dangerous side as there were/are a lot of individuals temporarily experience homelessness on the streets. However, the property appeared to be safe, secure and clean. The front office personnel was friendly and available. Security was on par. Room was relatively clean and habitable. First night was a bit noisy from the neighbors having a party. However, overall no complains for the class of the lodging property this is.

2/10 Poor

Just don’t

Don’t believe the pictures. This place is soooo run down. The guy working the front desk is nice, but there is an overwhelming smell in the office. Then the room was bad. Light shade falling apart. Bugs. Dirty sheets… hair and burn/blood stain on the sheets. Light coming out of the ceiling. Wall coming apart above shower.

8/10 Very good

Overall the property was good and the staff was very kind and helpful. I chose this location because of proximity to where I needed to be during my 4 day stay in San Diego.

Great stay

Great Experience. Room was spacious nd great. Had a full length mirror which I appreciated.
Alissa, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The pics of the building and room make it look nicer than it is than what you actually get The noise from the street is pretty loud in the room, the door to the room doesn’t seem safe, the building hallways are very dated looking, and my bathroom had a torn shower curtain.
Ivan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not book

Read the other reviews and do not stay here. Booked two nights, walked in and walked straight back out. Have not responded to requests for even a partial refund to cover the alternative hotel we had to book. Dirty and unsafe!
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff is friendly. Room was clean but dusty in some areas like air conditioning. The curtains were very dirty with spots of food. Very limited parking space.
Sara, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Usually, I appreciate a couple nights stay at any hotel in San Diego, although I am homeless? However, I don't like inconvience by being a guest.

Coty, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The front picture of the property is very misleading. This picture is not close to where this hotel is, or near Little Italy. Pros: Our room was pretty big but the tv was too small. Lobby guy was super nice. Cons: There is very limited parking spaces, which we ended up having to pay next door which sucked. The floors in the room were really dirty. No elevator

Worth what you pay.

Basic hotel. Convenient to the park.
