Negatives: There was a cockroach in our room. There were bodily fluid/stains on towels. The towels felt like sandpaper, the beds were uncomfortable. There are a lot of homeless in the area. A homeless man was screaming profanities very loudly until around 2am, so it was very difficult to sleep. Airplane noise is loud overhead - this hotel is close to the airport. The hotel is older, and it did not feel clean; especially after the bug situation. We checked out early. The parking lot is tiny and difficult to park in. If anyone has mobility issues, this hotel will be very difficult to get from parking lot to the lobby and to your room. The elevator is tiny and does not fit more than 2 people at a time. It would be difficult to enter the elevator if anyone has a wheelchair or scooter. Avoid if you have mobility issues. Positives: the location is close to many restaurants that are in walking distance. It is within walking distance to the harbor. The room price is budget friendly. The staff who work at the hotel are really nice and very helpful. Excellent staff. I would never stay here again and would not recommend this hotel. To anyone.

Disappointed

I was traveling with my disabled mother and her room was not ready for hours after the posted check in time. She needed to plug in her oxygen concentrator but she had no room. It was a disaster

Property is in a fair location. Walking distance to little italy and only a few lights down from the docks and freeway. The parking lot is a bit small and tight but pretty safe over all if you drive your car. The room did smell a bit musky probably due to the windows being closed for such a long time. There was a lack of water pressure for both the toilet and shower during our stay. Overall, its a fair place to stay at if you are not into luxury and only staying for convenience which was my case since i came down for a marathon.

Great low budget option when you don’t plan to spend a lot of time in your room. GG at the front desk was great. Location is perfect with easy access to litte Italy and short walk to harbor. Parking is limited but free. We will definitely be back for our next Padre game staycation.

Only thing good was the close proximity to Little Italy. Parking is very limited and made for small compact cars. There was a couple standing outside day and night not sure if they live there or what. Rooms are outdated. Carpet in hallways have a bad order. Found roaches in bathroom. Have some kind of bug bites on my arm and leg. Tried to tell front desk but no where to be found and decided to just leave and never come back.

Great location for the price. Old building but clean. The reception was very friendly. Close to the airport and other downtown town activities. Delivered as advertised.

My room had a cockroah infestation. I asked to have my room sprayed at least but never happened so i had to leavev 2 days early. I was promesed a refund for those days because of the bugs but they never followed up as promised. I called to find out that the promise would not be honored after all. The elevator was also years past due for inspection and very small for those in need of.

The customer service at the front desk was always amazing. I wasn’t very fond of the attention to detail from the cleaning staff it wasn’t typical to what I’ve experienced at other properties. I stayed for a total of 13 days and out of those 13 days I placed the room service tag for cleaning on the door on 8 different days when leaving for work in the morning and only twice did I come back and the room was actually attended to; all the other times it seemed like the tag was ignored and one occasion I came back and the tag was placed on a different room’s door and the reason I know this is because the door tags actually have the room number they came from written on them. There were a couple situations where the parking pass I taped to my motorcycle was either removed or ignored and I came outside to notes either threatening to tow or to come to the office, but when the issue was addressed with the front desk it was handled well. The beds were fairly comfortable and in the morning there’s coffee in the front office.
