Convenient downtown location.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Rundown property needs work.
Past guests have been
critical of the condition of the hotel, reporting that rooms are rundown,
linens are threadbare, and public areas are dirty and unkempt. There are, as of
now, unsubstantiated reports that the hotel is undergoing renovation work.
negative:
Noise disturbances from overhead planes.
The hotel is located approximately 2.5 miles from San Diego International Airport, a bonus for those arriving by air but a disadvantage for those hoping to enjoy a good night’s sleep. According to reports, the airport’s flightpath passes directly above the hotel, leading to disturbances from overhead planes.
negative:
Some parking issues reported.
The hotel does not feature
its own parking lot, meaning guests arriving by car may struggle with parking.
A number of free spaces are available on the street, although you have to be
careful with the restrictions. Meanwhile, a public parking lot is nearby, but
past guests have pointed out that this is fairly expensive on a day-by-day
basis.
