The carpets needed cleaning, the room could have been cleaner but the biggest problem was the NOISE. Planes landing and taking off, busy roads, Amtrak trains howling and a car garage place next door all added up to a whole heap of noise. The hotel could help this situation by Installing some sound proofing and better windows. Stay somewhere else.

Close to airport, railway & trolley lines; close to harbour; rooms are fairly decent; prefer the lino to carpet so nothing can be hiding in it; had some issues with 1st room and staff was quite nice about 2nd room (different staff member than when we check in or in the morning); fridge in room was nice especially in a...

This motel proximity to the airport is definitely the downside to it. Planes are landing non stop at proximities of 40 feet or so! Add the street noise to the mix and you have a very noisy place. The rooms are big but have a bare bone feeling to them. The floors are vinyl instead if carpeted giving them a... More

Everything is OK with the motel: staff, room quality, bath-room, but the noise from airplanes flying 50 meters above is incredible!!! Add to it a railway behind the motel... If you are very tired or have to get up rather early or don't have another option - then the place is OK. It's close to the Maritime Museum and about... More

Motel 6's website stupidly lets you book into the sister property (Downtown) with a child in tow, even though the rooms don't have the ability to put them up. So, we ended up here by default as they do have enough room for couples with children. At first we were alarmed by the reviews before coming here, but actually it's... More

Arrived on a Saturday via Amtrak from L.A. Got to Motel and went to check in. The girl at the front desk was not very friendly. Almost like she did not want to be there. The room was nice and clean. It was good size room, but the bathroom was kind of small. Like others have stated the Motel is... More

$71 for one person on a Saturday night, Outdated but clean. Ignore the snobs reviews. I would rate this on the lower end of the Motel 6 motels I have stayed at. Walk to the bay, shops, downtown. Feels pretty safe here.

Very noisy. They recently replaced all the carpeting with laminate and you could hear EVERY footstep overhead. Unfortunately the people upstairs paced through the night. Watching the planes come in was like watching a horror movie of a plane crash. Every time one came in I got the urge to run.

We were sent to this place by the Motel 6 Downtown that couldn't accomodate a party of 3. We wanted to stay there for 2 nights. This Motel 6 is located right below the landing strip of San Diego Airport and it sometimes felt like the planes were passing through your bedroom. On top of that you have the railway... More
