Disappointed
Pros:

The location was spot on and the price was great too.

Cons:

Couldn't connect to free Wi-Fi, the beds were uncomfortable and the room was not very clean. The bathroom floor was mushy and the carpet in the hall was filthy the entire time. Like no one works on the 4th floor. Not enough towels.

For Sleep Only
Pros:

For just a place to sleep for the night, we liked nearby restaurants. We chose Old Towne San Diego Park and were not disappointed.

Cons:

Our room smelled of cigarettes. And for the 1st time I didn't bring any shampoo and conditioner, normally the hotels include these, not this place (I should have known better).

The worse stay
Pros:

There was nothing to like

Cons:

There was no pool. The staff was super rude. The first room was so dirty then they moved me to another room that was dirty then I found drug bags in the room also. They gave a full refund but there are kids that stayed there imagine one of them found it. The didn’t call the police or even ask more about it

The stay was just ok. Thank front desk staff was pleasant.
Pros:

It was close to the zoo

Cons:

You could hear everything from other rooms including their alarm. People hanging outside in the parking lot, not sure if they were staying there. I was there two nights and the second night after getting back from a long day my room key didn’t work. I had to go back and get in line to get my room key activated.

Acceptable option when prices are low, otherwise you might do better elsewhere.
Pros:

Convenient location if by car; large room with very comfortable foam mattress

Cons:

Limited lighting in the room; low ceilings in hallways and bathrooms; constant slew of people milling about outside and overflowing trash bins in certain areas; when price is low it's amongst the most affordable stays & a good value, but once price climbs above $100 I'd look elsewhere

Pros:

That they allow pets.

Cons:

Dirty carpets and smelly. I'm not coming back here. The elevator has poop. I always stay in Motel 6, but this location was really bad. It's a no-no.

I checked in and checked out 10 mins later! It was horrible.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It smelled like smoke. The bedding was filthy. The window was broken and a cricket was in the room. The room had an odor. We asked for non smoking and the whole floor from the time we stepped of the elevator was filled was smoke and smelled like cigarettes. The floor had water damage. The people above us sounded like they was moving furniture and running a marathon. The location felt janky overall. But the customer service was quick and they was nice. The smoke detector didn’t have batteries and the bedding had gum on it the pillow cases was turned inside out and was dirty. I didn’t get many pictures I have more videos than anything.
