The location and the size of the room

Floors could have been cleaner. Noticed after I showered and walked bare footed to my room, the bottom of my feet were black 🤯

Simple and basic. Very comfortable bed. Windows that gave good sunlight. I could hear no traffic noise. Good location to many stores within walking distance.

The hot water wasn't working when you turned the dial counter clockwise to the red mark. Somehow I discovered if you turned the dial 45° past the cold Mark, pointing straight down to the floor, you finally got hot water.

This is my third visit to this facility, and the room and staff continue to keep me coming back - especially the staff. Some reviewers complain about noise, but San Diego is home to several military installations, plus an international airport, so I expect air traffic noise. The hotel is right on a major street, too, so there is some road noise but not any more than any other hotel in the area. The room has tile floors which are very clean, as my bare feet show me. Staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. There are abundant grocers, delis, coffee shops, and eateries nearby. I appreciate how quick it is to visit Mission Beach, Cabrillo National Monument, Liberty Station, and Balboa Park from this location.

I'm glad there was parking available a d monitored with cameras.

It smelled like mildew when I entered the hotel room.. stale smell

Don’t have a room available on the quiet side away from the street

Good value for money place to stay in,room was clean and the bed was comfortable and the staff were all helpful and friendly.

The only drawback is its right next to a busy road and aircraft taking off pass almost right over the hotel,the nearest transit station is Old Town Transit Centre which is a good 15 minutes walk away just turn left out of the hotel and keep walking down Rosecrans Street and you'll eventually come to it where you can reach downtown in about 15 minutes.

Still haven't received my deposit back

This was my second stay at this lodge. It's family owned and operated, and staff are outstanding - friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It's true this is an older building, but it's kept clean, and it's being updated over time. Bonus points from me because there's a mini-fridge and microwave. No coffeepot, but I don't need one, as I have my own. It's situated on Rosecrans, so there is some road noise, also some airplane noise since the airport isn't far away - doesn't bother me a bit. The pool area is lovely, ice machine is available, and free parking is available. I appreciate the modest soap and lotion bottles - WAY too much of that gets thrown in the trash in some hotels, and I bring my own hair products anyway. There is an available self-service laundry on site, if needed. Grocer, restaurants, shopping center across Rosecrans and in the neighboring areas.

VERY BASIC, but also very cheap, which is what we wanted for a short, very short time after a long flight and leaving early the next morning.

VERY BASIC

The bed was extremely comfortable. The location was quiet. We were close to the entrance. Our room #29 had an extra bedroom and cot in it!! The pool was clean. The hallways were odor free.

The greeting from the young lady at the check in counter was not friendly, it was as if we were bothering her since so many had checked in for a graduation before us. My friend wanted to leave 9/6/2023 and cancel our stay but I like the clay structure. I just ignored the worker maybe she was having a bad day but we wont stay here again because of her unfriendliness The air conditioner is dated which cause dust and allergy issues. We actually just turned the thing off. It was cool outside. There is NO elevator!!So good thing we travel light.
