Good for a short one night stay. Close to the San Diego Zoo. Very noisy at night. There was a domestic argument/situation in a room close to ours in the middle of the night (not the hotel’s fault). It disrupted our family’s sleep multiple times throughout the late night and early morning.

I would like to send pictures to support how i would describe this property, the condition of the room, the known homeless woman screaming in the halfway at 5:20am. I'm kinda surprised Expedia lists this hotel. I'll look for a customer contact so I can send photos and more information.

Basic, Clean Accommodation
Friendly check-in by receptionist Dora, Our room was basic and very clean. It was an 8 minute drive to Balboa Park. In the evening we walked to The Gaslamp District passing by homeless sleeping on the street, but no problems. Limited on-site free parking. I was told cars may double park to accomodate all, but we had no problem and had our own parking space. We would stay again.

Decent location, NE corner of downtown, able to walk to Gaslamp Quarter. This side of the neighborhood is a little run down—you get what you pay for. The room was passable, nothing special. Saw a few small bugs around, some surfaces weren’t totally clean. Don’t leave open food out in the room. The hotel is currently being remodeled, hopefully this will improve conditions overall, but right now it’s a bit of a mess due to construction.
