Near the airport
My decision to book here was a value decision as the price was very reasonable and it was located near the airport. The room was pretty bare, as expected, however, the bed was very soft and not comfortable for my wife and I.

Just Ok
The property was close to downtown and a quick Uber ride to everywhere. The rooms and towels were clean. Parking was available as well. The carpets in the common areas needed cleaning and replacement. The property just lacked a cleaning crew in general. Construction was going on, and there was a lot of traffic noise, including sirens.

Just right.
For what it’s worth, I think it was perfect. Cozy room that served its purpose while I spent the weekend in San Diego.

Got the job done for our weekend stay. Horrible area in SD. Their parking lot runs out of space, so you might need to park on the street in an unsafe environment. Staff is friendly though.

Considering this Motel 6 ? ... Don't do it
Online pics of the hotel are considerably better than what you will find in person.
Somebody needs to buy this property, demolish it and start over.
