Pros:

Parkplatz direkt vor dem Inn.
Man kann gut mit dem Bus Downtown fahren bis zur zentralen Busstation oder bis Old Town, von dort dann mit dem Trolley Train in die Stadt. Sehr praktisch. Es gibt Tageskarten für 8$

Cons:

Die Betten waren schlecht,viel zu weich, es roch unangenehm im Zimmer,
Es war trotz geschlissemem fenster doch recht laut, da die Lage nahe Highway ist, was wiederum gut war, um schnell wegzukommen, Personal war nett

Clean, comfortable motor inn good for a place to stay for the night.
Pros:

The room was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. Don't let the looks of the outside sway you as it is pretty dated but the cleanliness of the room compensates for that and I was quite pleased during my four night stay. There are a few restaurants walking distance from the inn. The STP Bar & Grill across the street is pretty good.

Cons:

They do not offer any kind of breakfast and there is no pool. Your neighbors can be a bit noisy as it is not well insulated for noise abatement but that is what you would expect from an older motor inn.

Great for our overnight stay in San Diego.
Pros:

Very convenient location right near the freeway, ample parking, friendly staff, clean room. They even have vending machines with snacks and cold drinks. Good value for the price and accommodation, especially in San Diego where hotels tend to be quite expensive.

Cons:

Honestly, no complaints. For the price point it’s an adequate and simple place to stay.

Hidden gem
Pros:

The staff was so accommodating with my disabilities. Very friendly. My favorite part was the bed it was so comfy

Cons:

I honestly had no complaints except a microwave was the only thing I would have wanted. Theroom, especially bed was so comfortable, so that totally made up for it.

Pros:

The room and the facilities were very clean

Cons:

Everything was excellent, the only issue I had was that one of the blackout curtains wasn't closing enough and we could see the sunlight coming in or could be seen by the outside. I used a hair clip to keep it closed...
