They have reserved parking/ first come first serve. You have to pay $10 to reserve a spot which means that if you get there late you have to park elsewhere or they’ll tow your car even if there’s space available. They wouldn’t check us in because the gentleman in front of us had to go move his car and they had his reservation open. So we had to wait because they were too lazy to back out and start his check in again. The towels are tiny, barely covered my 9 year old. Bathroom was loud. No fridge. No amenities. Did not look clean.

1st room was dirty, roaches and bed bugs on the bed, it was hot …..2nd room was a little better but the bed was dirty, had some dead bed bugs and someone’s hair all over too ….checked out immediately the next morning and went to another hotel ….area isn’t too safe especially with all the transients around there too, so I had to be super cautious parking my vehicle there ….i do not recommend anyone to stay there, pay a little more and go someplace better if your going to be staying in San Diego a few days
