Pros: The location was excellent. Very easy to get to. The property was also very quiet and seemed safe. Loved that they had Roku devices on their TV's to stream shows.
Cons: There was typically a long wait to be helped by a staff member at the service desk. Their doorbell did not appear to be working. I also tried calling the motel a few hours before our check-in, but the phone would ring and did not have an option to leave a message. The most concerning part of our stay was the number of flies in our restroom. There was a hole in the wall below the sink, and flies were constantly buzzing around the bathroom.

Good hotel for the price
This hotel is small, comfy, and very affordable ! It's also conveniently near the freeway, and has a mini fridge with microwave. The only thing I didn't like was the tile floor. It was cold and felt sticky on my bare feet.

For the price, it was a good place to rest your head for a few hours and take a shower. Not the cleanest (several roaches in the room), not the safest (lots of homelessness on property digging through trash and loitering), and not the most comfortable (linens were old, pillows flat, etc.). — But the staff was super sweet, they’re dog friendly, they have tiled floors (I hate carpet in hotel rooms) and it’s a good location for traveling around mission beach/sea world/ La Jolla area. Convenient to many places in San Diego. I would stay again if the price doesn’t increase. It slept myself, my boyfriend, and our dog. They have Roku TV so you can sign into your own subscriptions of just stream YouTube as a guest pretty easily. And the AC unit works great (you won’t even need it). The windows open so let the true San Diego air inside the room 😄
