I did not really know what bed bug bites would look like so I thought they were pimples or maybe allergies, but my friend saw a bug on the bed. We planned on letting the desk know... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. Very happy with motel, it was a very reasonable price and you can walk everywhere from here, across the park to the zoo, over to Seapoint village and the harbour or very quickly to the Gaslamp quarter. The room was very clean and totally bed bug free :) Very comfortable beds and pillows. The maid... More

This was a great motel in downtown San Diego... my room was large, it had a balcony with a nice view, it was very quiet, it felt safe, and it was extremely clean, all staff were very pleasant. I couldn't have asked for better. I'd definitely recommend. It's always good to leave constructive criticism, so I think the breakfast could... More

This is a great Motel located in the downtown of San Diego, only 5 to 10 minutes walk to every interest point. Super clean, confortable, fully equipped. Staff is absolutely professional and very kind. I definitely suggest this hotel.

As always drunk people in downtown San Diego kept me from sleeping but to top it off around 3 am we had to leave the room because bed bugs were crawling on the bed and walls. I checked the room before we settled in and saw no signs, I am scarred to stay in any room now.

We are very sorry to hear that your stay was something less than ideal. As for your noise complaint, although we have every guest sign an acknowledgment of our "quiet hours", incidents may still occur, or the noise may have come from an adjacent property. Of far more concern is your complaint about bed bugs. We would have been happy... More

The outside appearance looks very unappealling. The rooms were much nice than I expected. Rooms were clean, large and had many amenities..small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Downtown location was okay but was rather noisy. Parking is an additional$10
