There are long term tenants and the area is sketchy! Heard fights next door to us every night. The parking is atrocious. Had to wake someone up at 6:30am to move their car. Literally drug deals everywhere and one of the long term tenants was scoping out the parked cars!!

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.

I booked three rooms for three nights and ended up staying only two nights. When I asked for a refund for the third night, the attendant refused to issue a credit. I did not appreciate that at all. Total rip-off....

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.
