This is not the place for comfort, family or sanitation and health safety. The location and parking not the best. Its appearance is questionable. The hotel room we stayed at was dirty, black mold in the shower. Water damage. There was tape over the smoke detector. The curtains and window was super dirty. Burnt holes in the blankets and questionable markings in the walls. The latch to lock for extra security was broken. But what was worse of all was the people above us were making so much noise as if they kept pacing back and forth all night from 10pm till we left the room at 6am! The only thing positive was the lady at the front desk. She was very welcoming and sweet.

All in all it was a good place for the price. The gentleman at the fron desk was friendly. Microwave was broken and it smelt a bit musty. I'm paranoid about every hotel i sleep in so i generally bring sanatizing spray and pillow cases.

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
