No carpeting in room, cold water in shower & sink ran as hot as the hot water. Room sleeps 2, but there was only 1 wash cloth, 1 hand towel & 1 bath towel. AC was off & room was very hot when arriving, however they knew we were expected because they had everything waiting for us so the room should have been cooled as well. I guess you get what you pay for.

A safe place to stay while I attended a concert at Petco. The a/c worked great, the place was clean though it did have a slight odor of cigarette smoke. Plenty of parking. I recommend for friends going out and not having to pay the crazy prices of Gaslamp or other downtown hotels. Staff was very friendly.

Hotel room is fine, however the shower curtain let a lot of water onto the bathroom floor, the bathroom door was difficult to close and the smell wasn't great but you get used to it. The surrounding area is okay but seemingly unsafe and has a lot of homeless walking around.

Right when we walked in and turned on the lights cockroaches were on the walls and on the floor. Roaches on the bath towels. We took photos and showed it to the front desk. They went to the room and sprayed Raid to kill the roaches and came back showed us the bottle of Raid and said they are gone now. What a joke! He tired to offer another room but most likely there’s roaches there also. We also notice prostitution going on right out side of the hotel. We tried to get our money back and they wouldn’t give it back and Expedia only gave us $25 out of the $200 for the night that we paid for. I’ll make sure to read reviews before booking again.
