This property was pretty gross. Had to change room due to stained sheets and cockroaches even though the room claimed to be clean. There was mold on the ceiling in in the shower, the blankets were not clean, had other people‘s hair and cigarette burns in them. The floor was filthy your socks would turn black after walking on them, and there was used napkins under the bed. None of the rooms look the same. They are all advertised as the best rooms there in the photos, the owner is very nice though, but other than that, it was a terrible place and the mold is a serious health issue.

Motel San Diego has everything you need for convenient stay in SD! Convenient location in PB, close to the freeway so it makes a great center point to visit all other SD neighborhoods. Nothing fancy but for those of us who don’t need all the frills, it’s got all you need! Price is great, and a major plus that they don’t charge for dogs to stay too. :)

The bed was clean which is the main requirement of any hotel, so we were generally satisfied with Motel San Diego. However, the sticky surfaces, nails sticking out of the window frame, and a general need of hastily done repairs left us with a mitigated impression. Not exactly the most picturesque area of town but very well located in a central location. Would mainly recommend for a short stay of a few days in San Diego.

Location to access highways very good with the exception always having to go south to leave and enter from the north. Room service was non-existing. Nothing but microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator; no utensils. Great water pressure and temperature. Free parking and right in front of room.
