    No utensils in the kitchen. Park situation is very bad No lobby, no pool and nothing else to do in the motel. You just kind of stay at your room. Internet connection keeps breaking off. The reception is a tiny cubicle. To make matters bad, the staff have no idea/ tips etc for San Diego sight seeing.

    Location - 2 buses within 3min walk Clean= cleaning staff are very friendly and courteous. Kitchen with oven, microwave and refrigerator. But no single utensils. Bring your stuffs

    Receptionist could have been a bit more friendly, but he took care of our check-in in a timely manner and we got to our room.

    Not much parking, ended up parking on the boulevard near the Motor Hotel. The room was clean, just big enough for the two of us. Bed was comfortable and the room was simple and met our overnight stay needs.

    A little out of the way if you want lots to do locally.

    Nice room, well equipped and a handy laundry room behind the motel. Good bus service very close and a 5 minute drive to the shopping centre. Ate at the Red Fox Room one evening, a little dark inside but lovely food, Gilly's bar was good for a pre dinner drink, both 5 minute walk.

    There were no spoons so stirring coffee or tea was awkward! I ended up using a plastic straw...

    Larger room than I expected (more of a suite!), comfortable bed, and plenty of storage space. The check-in was easy and straight-forward, and staff were helpful and friendly when my room key-card stopped working, too, and got it fixed quickly.

    Our second stay within two weeks, and would stay again. Close to plenty of food choices, comfortable, tidy, pleasant staff, get there early for a parking spot.

    A clean, comfortable, and tidy motel in a great part of town for food & entertainment.

    The shower doesn't heat up at night, I think because other people are using it at the same time.

    No microwave in the room, you have to go to the lobby. I requested a quiet room but mine wasn't. I was right by a busy street so I could hear traffic noise, sirens, etc all night.

    Nice hotel for 1 or 2 nights. Small and close to restaurants. The rooms have a modern decor and they are very very clean.

    The mattress was new and clean but slightly too firm for my preference. But the bedding was lovely and clean otherwise.

    Try room was a clean, well appointed room (small but with everything I needed). The location was excellent for South and North Park, for access to Balboa Park, and to downtown. There was free parking on the street, and it is a safe area to walk to nearby restaurants and shops. This is my new go-to hotel for trips to the San Diego area!

    We have stayed here several times. Consistently, the wifi is flaky. For example, it doesn't seem to work well with Uber or Google maps and I have to use cellular data instead.

    This is a good quality, "standard frills" hotel. More or less, things are as expected, which is good.

    People on the upper floors should be mindful that the people below can hear their footsteps. Also, there are only six private parking spots, so get to check-in early.

    Remodeled; New floors and new paint. Good location, simple and easy check-in/checkout out. Quiet, considering the road is right there. Uber driver said this neighborhood was bad a few years ago. He said it has gone uphill since, and for two white people, dressed to the 9's (for a Christmas party) to walk out of this motel, he could hardly believe it and was a testament to the area improvement. You should not hesitate to book this motel. No breakfast, but across the street is Denny's. My husband and I went up the road, at night, to the ATM and felt perfectly safe. Overall, for the price, I recommend this motel.

    I thought I had turned out the sign to make up my room after my first night, but it never happened. The sign for "Do Not Disturb" and "Please Clean My Room" are hard to distinguish from each other.

    Fine, clean motel in a neighborhood that I enjoy staying in.
