I like the old hotel feel- room was clean and very comfortable- close to walking to get food or beverages- what I didn't like is the owners has puppy dogs barking and whining in the middle of the night- one night it was 4am!!!! The traffic noise during the night on the highway was ridiculous-all night long- They should put up sound proof curtains

Way too sketchy of a place. Heard something that sounded like a gunshot close by. The door was not sealed, and there was no hot water. Didn’t look at all like the pictures online. Seriously, unless you’re a kung fu master, avoid this place at all cost.

You get what you pay for. This place is adequate and does have some downsides, like the sheets are pretty itchy and everything is a little old and rundown. However with the price it’s clean and in a good part of town. The cleaning lady (we didn’t get her name) is AMAZING and really helped us out when we were in a bind. Overall friendly and decent for the price.

Had a couple bugs in the room, but you get what you pay for. Staff were attentive and very nice. Close to 7-eleven, a gym (day passes are $20), and a couple restaurants. Walkable, and the room was decent.

Functional

It’s super cute on the outside. The room was cheap and it was functional (for sleeping and showering, not enjoying) and that’s about it. If you get back to your room too late at night, you might not get a parking spot. There are some people who might have extended stays at the hotel… And you might not want to have your room next to theirs because they stand outside smoking cigarettes and they keep their TV really loud. Just saying. But if you don’t need any luxury in your life, then this motel is for you!

From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the warm welcome and exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail felt thoughtfully taken care of, from the cozy rooms to the little touches that made it feel like home. The amenities were top-notch, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. I can’t recommend this place enough—whether you’re staying for business or a getaway, this hotel and its wonderful team will exceed your expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back!

It’s a great location to get to all the beaches and easy access to I-5 which is great. There is a reason why the outside photos are far view photos the outside is falling apart! They definitely have a show room for these photos the bathroom is SO small you can’t bend over without hit the wall, now light in the shower so it’s dark, there was mold in the bathroom, the toilet wasn’t secure, A/C blows like warm, lamp don’t work only had 3 outlets but only able to use 2 because one is on the ceiling, but the beds looked new that was a plus.

This property was pretty gross. Had to change room due to stained sheets and cockroaches even though the room claimed to be clean. There was mold on the ceiling in in the shower, the blankets were not clean, had other people‘s hair and cigarette burns in them. The floor was filthy your socks would turn black after walking on them, and there was used napkins under the bed. None of the rooms look the same. They are all advertised as the best rooms there in the photos, the owner is very nice though, but other than that, it was a terrible place and the mold is a serious health issue.

Motel San Diego has everything you need for convenient stay in SD! Convenient location in PB, close to the freeway so it makes a great center point to visit all other SD neighborhoods. Nothing fancy but for those of us who don’t need all the frills, it’s got all you need! Price is great, and a major plus that they don’t charge for dogs to stay too. :)
