2nd Stay - Safe, Well-Located, and Budget-Friendly

This was our second time staying at The Atwood. I was in town for business, but we also had time to do some sightseeing, including a visit to the zoo. I was pleased with the location—it felt safe and was conveniently close to many of San Diego’s top attractions.

Underperformed. The place wreaked of weed. The A/C fails to perform adequately. No vent in bathroom so the whole room is humid if you don’t open the window. We won’t return.

Pay a little more and stay somewhere else

The bed was comfortable and clean but the room was not clean. Minimal dusting and sweeping were done to the room we were in. My socks were black on the bottom after walking across the floor. I spilled a small amount of water and when wiping it up with some toilet tissue, the tissue was absolutely filthy and disgusting. Water pressure was very low, hard to get any hot water from the sink. Same with the shower although hot water did flow in the shower. The sink is a bowl that sits on top of the counter and so high, at my height, 5'6" I had to stand on my tip toes to wash my face. We would not stay here again due to these issues. Should at least mop the floor when cleaning. YUK!
