Definitely better than I expected for a motel six and Location was fantastic
Pros:

My son was graduating as Marin and I traveled into town with my two dollars and one of their friends and it was a fantastic stay. My dog sitter was not available so I was able to take my dog as well and when we were gone, he just stayed in the crate and had no issues at all.

Subpar unfortunately
Pros:

Great staff

Cons:

The shower flooded over after 5 minutes of use/woke up to a cockroach running across the wall which I’m assuming come through the giant gap in the door to my room as I could see outside and tried to fill the gap with 1/2 a roll of toilet paper.

Me hospedaria novamente!
Pros:

Acomodações excelentes! E a localização é ótima, bem próximo a restaurantes maravilhosos. Vale o custo benefício, devido a San Diego tudo ser muito caro.

Overall not bad, changed my view on Motel 6 in a good way.
Pros:

Although the planes were loud outside in the room with the ac on you could barely hear them. Easy walk to Little Italy and the ocean front. Room was clean, staff was friendly.

Cons:

Not the best neighborhood. But then again it is what it is.
