The 10 best Motels in San Diego, United States
San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

Quick work trip
Reviewed By Lauren KThis was a fantastic spot to stay. Walking distance from beach and great food and coffee. Will absolutely stay again! Also bonus that the beach within distance is Windandsea, which is in my opinion one of the best beaches in San Diego. Especially for photos!

For 180, I thought it'd be a little nicer.
Reviewed By BreenexusThe staff was great. The room was a little small for the double deluxe. The bathroom is where I have most of my complaints. I never usually complain about my stays at hotels because usually, there's nothing worth noting, good or bad, but today I needed to share about the bathroom, and a couple other things. There was black mold in between the tiles in the shower, the drain was crusted over with black mold, and the counter with the sink was dirty in the cracks. Whenever it comes to the shower and kids, it's kinda important that it should be without mold. It was very loud outside, sounded like partying happening. Then, we just kept getting random knocks throughout the night. Also, druggies lounging around outside. Just kinda disappointed because this appeared to be a nice hotel, but it was just looks.

Reviewed By 951gingerdNot a whole lot of negative I’ve got to say about this place. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms perfect for the two of us. They are not fancy, but recently remodeled. The bathroom has only the complaint that the showers are skinny. Not small…skinny. They need about 3-4 more inches of width and a longer shower curtain. There’s a mini fridge an satellite tv. The a/c works well, the beds are clean and mostly comfy. The curtains need to be rethought as the pull down shade allows a LOT of light in from the porch lights. They do not offer daily house cleaning, so if you have littles or Sandy floors bother you, be prepared to ask for them to visit your room or to pick up after yourself. The entire hotel is just a 15 second walk to the beach literally. We were in one of the further back rooms and we are still so close to the beach and beach walk. It’s a great place on the beach for a great price! Would never have gotten the service at a larger place like we did here. Would absolutely come back again!

Reviewed By Mars838I stayed at the hotel because I wanted to be close to Mission Beach. Unfortunately it's not as close as I thought (about 15 minutes by car on the highways). The room is small but breakfast is good. The pancake maker is an attraction! Too bad it's so expensive for what it offers.

Just what I needed!
Reviewed By DajumezMI was hesitant to book a room here because of my preconceived ideas of a “motel”, but all of the other hotel brands were running a little expensive with all of their extra taxes and I was only booking for one night. I was really pleasantly surprised with how clean the room was. It was small, but I was alone and didn’t need much. The shower pressure was AWESOME. The bed was Super comfy also. Comfortable stay all around!

Good value hotel in downtown
Reviewed By cstod93Good value hotel, good location to downtown, rooms were clean, staff were welcoming and parking was free. However unfortunately we stayed on a Saturday night, with an LA/ SD baseball game and the other occupants were very loud all night. Doors in between the corridors would help provide more sound proofing.
