Okay, but bare bones
Super bare bones. No shampoo, no conditioner, only 1 bar of soap.
Bed was comfy. AC worked.
Free parking. Quickly accessible to Old Town SD and public transportation to downtown and Stadiums.

Great staff!
Gets the job done. Be careful of the area it’s located in but overall, staff was quick and helpful. Rooms were very spacious great ac unit. For the price, you can’t go wrong at all. This is the most honest review you’ll see! A+ overall for me especially for the price.

Not worth the money. But not terrible.
Hotel was just ok, in a bad area. Lots of homeless in this area. Hotel had a lot of damage an parking was sketchy at best. Cost was very high for what we got. No wifi, you have to pay for it.

The sheets were stained with red (not speculating what kind of red). The pillow sheets felt like they weren't properly dried, and had to put a hoodie over it in order to feel comfortable. Otherwise, the AC was good and didn't mind the stay.

Good place to sleep
Rooms were clean but could use so refreshing and nicer towels.
It is centrally located which was fantastic.
It’s close to freeways but did not hear much traffic but the train does go by blasting the horn even at nighttime as a warning.
Staff was very nice and helpful

The only decent thing about this place is the lady who checked us in. She was awesome. However, I would never come back. This hotel has section 8 housing and the hotel has transients and uncle table looking persons

Budget friendly, No free wifi
Parking is a Nightmare, WiFi isn’t free, room are ok. Tv is small, don’t expect happy employees, your under a freeway, if some car falls off, um pray, you have take your own trash out and if you need clean towels you have to the laundry room, but good news it’s in a good location

Do Not Stay Here
So many tweakers, people walking around the complex and the cars looking to steal. Not a fun place to stay or travel to. Burn holes and blood on sheets.
