OK so your travelling to San Diego and thinking you might try and save a coupla bucks on accomodation. Well you will save them here, but may regret the experience. I was bushed having just driven from LA, so we asked for a couple of quiet rooms, which was a big mistake. Staff thought this was hilarious, and spent much... more

We spent one night in San Diego and this motel was near where friends lived, so we picked it. Not expecting to spend much time in our room, we didn't want to pay much, but next time we'll pay a little extra. This is an old motel and it shows. The room (132) was basic: bed, dresser, TV, etc., and... more

Booked through sandiegohotels.com. Got a king room for around $70 a night. For that price in San Diego I was not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. Now you have the usual for rooms with a door to the outside (not inside hall). But I was surprised that the room was very clean. The maids did a wonderful job cleaning... more

We stayed in the Vagabond Inn for 3 nights. The place is very convinient to all the attractions visited (Gaslamp, Old-Town, Parks and Zoo). It is only 2 blocks away from I-5. We stayed in the first section of the facility; re-modeled so it was quite clean and comfortable. Looked at the end sections of the facility and they are... more

This is an old-style "motel" -- two floors with outside walkways. It looks pretty dreary from the outside though it's tidy and well landscaped. I'm sure the building is at least thirty years old so there's not much that could be done to make it look modern. Inside the rooms are also oldish but clean and well-kept. Everything worked including... more

My husband and I had stayed at this property for a week during the summer in 2000, and actually enjoyed our time there and in the area. We returned for a long weekend this past Jan and thought it would be nice to stay here again. We thought it had been a very good value for the price the last... more

When we arrived to check in, the manager was in a shouting match with a couple in the lobby. We should have left right then, but hotels.com - who had booked us, had explained when we booked there was nothing else in the San Diego area. They had booked us 2 rooms. The first had an adult and 2 children... more

I booked a night here on Hotels, and they made it sound like a great place. It's not in the best part of town, although it is close to the trolley stop. Bathroom was kinda dirty, Carpets had tons of burn marks (from irons) and it just had an all around cheap motel feel. Our TV was broken, with wires... more
