The room was as described, well-lit and comfortable. The central air conditioning worked great. They were also willing to store my 1 bag at the reception on my last day once I checked out. Very convenient location with public transport available nearby and the historic downtown / Gaslamp Quarter in walking distance.

Staff was nice. Property has a lot of houseless people around, but is fairly close to good restaurants and sites. Our room was dirty: mold in shower, metal A/C cover on the ceiling was missing screws and hanging down, sticky floor, and dirty walls. Bed was quite lumpy and bathroom door wouldn’t shut/was hanging on with one hinge. Would not stay there again despite the nice staff.

Guest of the day wasnt sure what that was about but it gave me an upgraded room because of it. Ill be rebooking here even if it was a one time deal the price was good and the level of noise being in the city was very low for being near the busy area. The front desk staff was great helped me with all my questions and made everything swift.

The staff was perfectly friendly and helpful, but the condition of this hotel leaves a lot to be desired. First, I was sent to a filthy room upon my initial check-in. When I say filthy, I mean it: Dirty dishes and laundry strewn about the entire room. Worse was the door was left open, which presents a major security issue. Further, there was a latent chemical smell, which I can only conclude based on other reviews and my knowledge of the area is drug related. The front desk transferred me to another room right beside the first one. The second room was much better, however, after about 30 minutes, I noticed a towel hanging over the smoke detector, which is a likely indicator of drug use. Then, upon showering, I noticed the cleaning staff neglected to discard a piece of soap left by a previous guest. Hallway trash cans were often over flowing. Cigarette butts in the indoor/outdoor area just outside my room. Filthy carpeting throughout the entire hotel. BLACK in most places. It's obvious the details don't matter to the staff who, although friendly enough, aren't paid enough to detail clean what could be a great hotel. The adage that "It's just a Motel 6" is wild and incredibly disheartening. Do better because you can. Things like this shouldn't happen. Yes, the staff apologized for the room issues, but in all reality, my stay should AND could have been comped because of the aforementioned issues.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, however there was no AC in the hotel. The air was blowing (barely), but it wasn't cold air. You could see a lot of debris in the vents and I think a filter change and cleaning of the HVAC system is in order. We switched rooms 3x hoping one would have AC, the third room was the best but far from being a comfortable temp. The location is great and located in walking distance to eateries and the harbor, albeit a bit of a rough neighborhood.

Rooms are decent for the price and met our needs. Love how close it is to everything... restaurants, stadium, Gaslamp, and even stores. One of the rooms had a light that wasn't working but staff did come up to fix it. We paid for parking but came back to the hotel late one night and someone else was parked in our assigned space. Thankfully we were allowed to park in the handicap space, otherwise we would of had no where to park.
