One word describes this dump. Disgusting. We stayed Fri, May 15, 2009. We landed at 11:30 p.m. and found this place from an advertisement at the airport. There was mold on the pillows and the stale stench of smoke in the room. We were dropped off by shuttle bus which we thought was free, then had to pay the hotel... more

This location is adjacent to the airport and right in the flight path of the landing planes. However, the planes stop landing around 11:00 p.m. and don't start up again until 6:00 a.m. or so. Rooms are rather spartan, as might be expected, but clean and the rate was right. We got two seniors for about $65 including tax. There... more

This is a great , cheap location to stay if you are going on a cruise. We were 5 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from the cruise terminal. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. There were 15 in our group and we arrived early before the cruise and after. Although check-in wasn't until 3 p.m. they made... more

I stayed here for four nights in July 2007 and found the motel to be perfectly acceptable. The airport noise was only noticeable during the day—it was actually a bit exciting while using the pool to see the incoming planes flying so low!—the nights were perfectly silent and there wasn’t noise from other rooms. The room was VERY plain—no artwork... more

We decided to stay at this Motel6 even after reading all the reviews, mainly because it was one of the cheapest that was closest to San Diego downtown and Balboa Park. Yes, there is a lot of airplane noise, but (a) it was true that planes don't fly late at night, (b) we were always dead tired that we don't... more

It was our first time to stay in a motel instead of an hotel. We didn't know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised with Motel 6 Airport. First, there was enough parking space, first come first served. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpfull. We got a room on the first floor. Keep in... more

The good news is that if you read the reviews, you know how to prepare and you can't touch the price. As noted, the motel sits on the airplane path and also next to a train. The room was basic, but clean and it is great for those who need to catch an early flight. Our room had some minor... more

Stayed here for 2 nights in July. The hotel is not bad if you're looking for a place to sleep. There is nothing special about this property unless you're very interested in commercial aviation. If you are, you should stay here. The hotel is directly in line with the landing path of the airport. It can be very loud. more

The room was clean. However, the biggest draw back was the airplane noise. This motel sits on the landing flight path. Every 3 minutes huge jets would fly over -- VERY LOUD. You can see the people in the planes so that is CLOSE! The plane noise did subside after 11 p.m. Ok if you are planning on going to... more
