Parking lot has ~20 spaces, the property has ~40 rooms. The parking lot is one-way, no outlet, meaning you have to back out of it onto a one-way street to get out. If no parking when you get back, nearby private lot is $35 for 10 hours. The elevator is 4’x4’, and the stairs are for emergency use only. Requested a room with one queen bed, got two double beds. Did not hang “do not disturb” sign on door, but room was not cleaned during 2-night stay.

I’ve stayed here many many times over years. Great location. If you’re looking for something that’s a five minute uber ride to and from the airport. There’s a convenient seven11 less than a block away. There’s several restaurants that are a few minutes walk from the property. The property sits in a hill and when you exit there’s a really nice view looking down towards the harbor and Coronado across the harbor. I should warn anyone reading this that it’s very noisy (not the guests) . The planes flight path to the airport runs along side the property and the freeway is less than a block behind the building. There is a parking lot for guest with no charge. It’s first come first serve. Most hotels in the area charge $50 a night or street parking, which is metered til late afternoon. The building is an older wooden building with squeeky floors and a tiny elevator. It smells old. They do a great job at keeping it clean. But keep in mind, it’s very budget friendly. So you get what you pay for. Not necessarily in a bad way. The staff is friendly. There’s a middle aged woman that works the later shift who is just an awesome lady. Great personality and so friendly. Ive had the pleasure of being checked in by her several times in the past.

The staff was so polite and kind I really appreciated their hospitality it was really refreshing. The only things I have to comment on is the safety of the property one of the doors of the hotel does not fully close and anyone without a hotel key can enter and it made me feel unsafe. And the parking was also an issue there’s not much space to park, often times we had to park outside of the hotel lot.

Acceptable.

The staff was nice except during my check out it took 10 minutes for someone to show up. I also did not realize there was coffee in the lobby until then. In general this is a no frills hotel. Parking was not good. You had to drive backwards out of the lot because it was too small to turn around in. Airplane noise and noise of garbage trucks was bad. Other places might have the same issue. They need to invest in new windows and doors to block the noise. Tv was roku only. You would need to log into your own steaming service. Maybe in this age that’s not so bad. Nothing on tv anyhow. There was a fridge and microwave. No coffee in room. No breakfast. Towels were old. Overall the place felt like it needed an upgrade. Location was excellent for walking to restaurants and maybe a mile to Midway museum. 10-15 minute walk to sailing ship museum. Internet was good but sometimes the Roku would buffer and freeze. My iPhone worked fine. If this is one of the cheaper priced hotels then it was acceptable. I felt I paid a lot though. If I went to this area again I would pay a little more for better parking. If I had to pay a lot more then I would be willing to stay here again.

Comic con 2025

So i got invited to comic con. So arrived in town early and was able to get an early check in at 2pm. Wonderful. I was parked out front in the 30 minute loading zone on the street and able to unload R2D2 and my items easily. No problems yet. The elevator was tiny, but it worked and served it's purpose. Still good. The door handle for the room only works when pulled up, took a few tries to figure it out. Good. Room seems to be recently updated. New tv microwave and toilet. Nice. Finding a red x on the first towel I used was a bit confusing and then finding one on the sheet too was concerning after looking at other towels with no x on them. The AC worked well but the cover had a big hole.in it. There were a few small holes in the tiles and one big one by the desk that looked like it was attempted to be repaired. The sinknwater pressure was good, the shower not so much. The beds seemed new and were firm. Good. Parking was an interesting experience. The lot is only big enough for maybe 14 cars but after waiting for a while i grabbed a spot on the end of the lot near the street. I left my car there Friday night and Saturday while i was at the con. I came back Saturday and found notification that i was going to be towed. I went to the office and got that canceled as I was supposed to have been given a parking pass when checked in but never was. So luckily it was settled by the great night shift person. It was near the airport but i didn't hear planes in the room.
