The weather stripping was missing on the bottom of my door. There was a large gap between the door and floor allowing the weather to come in. I had to leave a blanket in front of the space while I was in the room.

The overall stay was excellent. The motel was very central to the activities for our group. The room was clean and comfortable. However, the water pressure was iffy. It was great coming out of the spout, but when switched to the shower head the pressure dropped dramatically. Very disappointing. Otherwise, Had a good experience. I would book again and recommend the motel to others.

Overall, a great stay. The room and hotel were both very clean. This place could use a bit of updating. Seems a bit dated. But a great spot for a quick stay close to the airport.

Such a fun little hotel with cute decor, clean rooms, 10-15 minutes from most attractions, and very close to Old Town! We usually stay here while in San Diego and it's part of the reason we keep returning to America's Finest City.

Perfect hotel with limited menu options in the restaurant. It may have been limited be ause of the winter months; however, a restaurant/bar closing at 8:00 p.m. is dramatically atypical.
