Ok for what it was, but a bit pricey for one weeknight. The room definitely needs some TLC. The carpet was dirty and stained, and hotel needs to attempt to clean it from time to time. Technically it was two beds (one being a rough sofa bed) but the one selected online was two queen beds. Rooms need to have more towels. AC was not a strong as needed for a hot day in SD.

Very dirty and needs updating. Old and rundown. Stains all over the tub/shower. Towels were the absolutely the worst quality and tiny as well. There was absolutely no personality….not any pictures or art at all. Price high assuming because of Comi-Con. Definitely not worth the rate.

Hotel is dated. It's obvious they've been working to improve the rooms, but still needs a lot of work. Peeling paint, worn table tops, sloppy paint work, all make it look poor.

Rooms are outdated and dingy. Tweaker central!! I'm sure many of their patrons are long term guests, which is fine but the side I stayed on was pretty bad. People up and outside coming and going all hours, yelling, fighting, I had to call the office because the man upstairs from me was beating his dog and you could hear the dog screaming. Terrible experience and wouldn't recommend! Have the nerve to charge 20 extra a night for a pet fee but don't clean their toilets!
