Downtown San Diego

It was okay. Would I stay there again? Absolutely not. My friend wanted it cold and there were no extra blankets so I froze and got no sleep. There was a bump in my bed and stains. So, I wasn’t thrilled. I plugged in my cell phone and it didn’t charge. Some of the outlets didn’t work and the neighborhood was sketchy. I was thankful my car was still there in the morning.

As soon as we got to the parking lot we noticed so many homeless people camping next to the hotel, the hotel looked run down and old. We walked through the hallway to get to our room , the carpet on the hallway was extremely filthy , we walked inside the room and it was a disappointment, the bathroom smelled like humid, the room was dusty and there was big roaches outside our door. We got catfished with the pictures

Average place

It was hard to find the hotel and the parking was not very spacious. The room looker clean but the bathroom was not cleaner very well there was still hair in the shower. Couldnt use the bathtub really because they didnt have a stopper for the water. I tried to ask for more towels but had to wait until after 8am for when the cleaning ladies arrived.

There are long term tenants and the area is sketchy! Heard fights next door to us every night. The parking is atrocious. Had to wake someone up at 6:30am to move their car. Literally drug deals everywhere and one of the long term tenants was scoping out the parked cars!!
