Would give negative reviews if possible

Photos online are deceiving. This is a family owned business but they seemed like they didn't care. Parking is limited, first come first serve and only a few spots available, had to park in the next lot and pay. The room had a weird smell to it when we arrived, and it looks like everything was "landlord renovated". The water pressure was extremely low and the towels did not seem clean. Location wise it wasn't in that great of a neighborhood but it was walkable to the areas we needed to go. We stayed 1 night for new years eve and regretted it because once we got back after midnight, not only did our key card not work, all the other rooms in the establishment didn't work either so all guests were lined up outside the office to get our keycards redone. They said it's because "our program resets every year on new years". After the front lady redid our keys once, it still wasn't working and my partner had to go down 3 times until they gave us the master key to get it. Definitely did not feel safe and would never stay here again. Reviews are all bad, please listen to them and do not stay here.

Perfect budget motel for work. No frills it is all about a cheap nights stay with good wifi. Central to the San Diego area. Drive in drive out. Price price price. Not a luxury in motel not a casual hotel. But if your needing a place on budget and central to San Diego downtown and close to everything not a bad place. But it is in proximity to the homeless but I would stay there again for work.

The biggest scam in the city. There was a lot of mystery stains all over the walls, lipstick on the rod to open the curtains, pieces of hair found when untucking the bed sheets on the first day. Not even the furniture was wiped down, it seriously looked like all they did was make the bed and wipe down the restroom sink faucet. When I used the restroom, I noticed the toilet paper was stamped and thought it was to make it look fancy… until I realized it was reused toilet paper from the stay before and there was indeed a poop stain in the side of it. Then to try and relax and turn on the tv, the most recent searches were “sex” and so many other inappropriate things. To top it off, every time I left the hotel, there was homeless people just chilling on the stairs playing music until 2 in the morning. Just spend the extra money if you want safety and cleanliness. I only lasted a day. That place definitely made me a germaphobe.
