Window in room left open all the way, screen was bent, a bunch of mosquitoes were in room. Wash cloth had a bunch of black stuff on it. Toilet was dirty, toilet paper new roll looked tampered with. Random people walking by at night trying to open multiple doors. I parked in a handicap stall and another car block the walking path to handicap spot. Management just ignored my concerns.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL! The pictures on Travelocity are nothing like the actual rooms. It's old, run-down, dirty, and in a bad neighborhood. I booked this property because the location was great, the pictures looked good, and the price implied that it was a solid property. WRONG! It's VERY overpriced, and they have some nerve charging what they did for this terrible property. They don't even have a parking spot for each room--our car was buried behind two other cars when we tried to leave. We found dead gnats in the sheets, and our socks were black after walking on the floors. They give you one small bar of soap and one towel with no housekeeping onsite to give you more. The mattresses were thin, the pillows were old and lumpy, and the bathroom counters were stained. The room looked and felt like a prison cell. One of the most miserable nights we've spent in a while. AVOID!

The staff were nice to me. The room looked clean when I got in. But: There were ants in the bathroom The maid came in every day but all they did was move my curling iron, and one day they emptied the trash. Out of 4 days. Never made the bed or anything, and left some long black hair in the bathroom. I have short red hair. The windows do not lock, and it's clear someone has come in or gone out the window at some point. I had to wedge something in there to feel safe. At 4am this morning, a man woke me up going from door to door screaming for Josie to come out so he could kill her. When I left my room Thursday, I had to step over the crack addict sleeping on the doorstep. I know he was a crack addict because he smoked crack in front of me as I was checking out today. The furniture is shabby, and the linens are torn and stained. And do not walk around the neighborhood alone at night. I almost got pickpocketed. I hope they use some of the exorbitant rates that I paid during comic con to make upgrades and hire security. This is a no-tell motel and I won't be staying there again.

Best part of this place is that it’s close to the trolly which can take you all over downtown San Diego. They do have free parking and a mini fridge and microwave. There are a lot of homeless around the area especially at night. Woke up with a dead roach on the floor, room felt old, dirty, and small.

Room stinks cigarettes and some kind of spray to hide the smell what makes the smell even more terrible. Two tents with homeless people are based near the premises The door to the shower is opens with a terrible noise the showerhead is old and rusty the soap is too little Someone's used towels were in the drawer The moment i was trying to open a door to walk into my room a homeless person approached and asked whether she can use a bathroom I asked a front desk to take care of a noise at the premises around 12:30 AM she asked what room is the noise come from. How do I know ???? I would like to get a full refund
