Threatened to cancel my room if I didn’t arrive by 11:30 PM - which I have never experienced before. Floor had reddish brown spatter and a sticker on it. Wall had rust colored spatter on it. Headboards dirty and had a cigar sized hole out of it. No functioning ice machine. Everything was such a disaster in the room and check in that I barely noticed the freeway noises outside with the homeless person and street walker. I wish this was satire, but it unfortunately was not.

Booked a room for one night, paid my $100 deposit fee which should’ve been reimbursed, but they took my $100. We did no damages to the room at all. Staff taking advantage because we are a young couple. Don’t recommend booking this place.

Just remember that this place is close to a major highway, so being won’t be the top of anyone’s list. But beyond that, the room was comfortable and clean with the furniture being in good condition. Unfortunately, whatever box spring that they used for the bed needed to be replaced because you could hear a little twang of the metal spring when you would shift your position on the bed. The TV had a little flicker on my first day there, but on the second day, the screen went blank in the middle of a show. Luckily I had my laptop to stream on. But all in all, besides these issues, I would not mind staying here again since it is a convenient place to be in with all the options for restaurants, shopping, and whatever special event in San Diego you might want to stay for.

Overall not too bad for the price. The room was old and it showed. There was tape marks on some of the floor boards. The tub was scary, probably calcium build up but looked very dirty. The table and toilet seat cover had burn marks! Which was strange. But the location was convenient, easy in and out, for one night, it was ok. I just needed a place to sleep and the bed was comfortable.
