This hotel is perfect for those on a budget needing to stay in Old Town. I paid half the price of the hotel next door and was within walking distance of the hotel where my conference was being held. As a female traveling alone, I felt very safe walking around the neighborhood at night. Two complaints: The room was fine... More

The Western Inn is one of a cluster of hotels/motels near the Old Town section of San Diego. The area is 10 minutes to the airport by car and walking distance to restaurants and charming sights near where San Diego began. If you have never wandered around Old Town, it is worth an afternoon. The room was comfortable and clean... More

This hotel is rated as 2.5* by Hotwire and 2* by other sites. Compared to other 2.5* in the area, this one would not be in the same scale. It is not a hotel, rather a motel, much like those truckstop ones you see in small towns. Carpets, beds and furniture are 20+ years old. Wallpaper peeling off wall and... More

- The room itself isn't cheap and they even ask you to pay extra for parking and room safe. - A/C in my room was broken (almost in pieces, looked as if it had been hit by a train...). I was told I got a standard room but when I changed the room for the one with working A/C it... More

we just got back from our stay. We went for our sons Marine graduation. Location was perfect. This hotel, airport, and MCRD all very very close. We never had to stray far. A short walk to Old Town, a historic area of San Diego. We ate 3 times at a great Mexican rest called the Coyote Cafe and it was... More

I was heading to San Diego for a wedding with a friend of mine. The hotel with the fully booked block of rooms was in Old Town, so we wanted to stay in that neighborhood. Most hotels were $150+ but the Western in was under $70. I checked here and it got mixed reviews but we decided to risk it.... More

Room is dirty and has a musty smell. Lighting is poor in the room. And worst, it's haunted!

This place is basically a dive. The carpets are stained, the bathroom tiles are cracked, and the beds are rather worn, but the location is great. If you are looking for a cheap, safe place to sleep, then book the Western. Advice: enter and exit the parking garage through the (one way) enter lane, the exit lane will scrape your... More
