Very nice for the money
The room was not real fancy, but very nice compared to some. The bathroom was upgraded to modern, plenty of outlets in the room and the room and bathroom were both very clean. I often trot around in socks and my white socks did not get very soiled at all from the carpet. A very nice room for the money; it had a table and chairs and a desk with desk chair plus the normal amenities.

Decent place to stay
My family told me this was a rough part of town and would be full of homeless people. Thankfully that was not the case. It is very clean and orderly. I was on the ground floor and never heard a thing from people around me. It is a budget hotel, so with that perspective it's really nice. The shower has great hot water and complimentary bathing supplies. House keeping everyday. The bed was pretty nice as were the pillows. The bedding was a bit thin. But the heater in the room made things comfortable despite the sparce bedding. Breakfast is pastry or 2 cereal choices. Milk, coffee and juice. The only think that was weird for me was that some people staying there seem to actually live there. My family says, San Diego gives vouchers to the homeless to stay in hotels. Everyone was quiet and clean so it does not affect the quality of the hotel, just not something I'm used to. Next time i visit San Diego I plan to stay here again. I was here 6 nights

You can smell marijuana, sketchy people in the parking lot, loud music right outside our door, people smoking outside their rooms. Not family friendly. Rooms were clean and worked for one night but will never stay here again. I could not sleep.
