The sheets were stained with red (not speculating what kind of red). The pillow sheets felt like they weren't properly dried, and had to put a hoodie over it in order to feel comfortable. Otherwise, the AC was good and didn't mind the stay.

Okay, but bare bones
Super bare bones. No shampoo, no conditioner, only 1 bar of soap.
Bed was comfy. AC worked.
Free parking. Quickly accessible to Old Town SD and public transportation to downtown and Stadiums.
Hotel was just ok, in a bad area. Lots of homeless in this area. Hotel had a lot of damage an parking was sketchy at best. Cost was very high for what we got. No wifi, you have to pay for it.
Meth being smoked in the laundry room. 2 people. Front desk girl was …busy trying to book something on the phone through a co worker. New apt. Idk. Never got off the phone.
Room was ok. Beds were tolerable. Cheap but ok.
This place is terrible, check in was smooth but when we got to the room it felt so hot and musty because someone had just got out the shower and left trash everywhere. The room was broken into and found weed on the bed and counter. We took many pictures. It smelled terrible. We instantly left to the front desk for a full refund, we felt so bad for the front desk lady, she was dealing with so many weirdos. We ended up having to do a last minute booking somewhere else. No motel this time.
Is the worst I have ever experience bad bad disturbing location freeway over rooms Amtrak behind rooms and stunk!!! It’s unbelievable the way it is situated! Never again will even consider that location!!!!
I had to wait for 40 minutes to check in and use the bathroom because there was not anybody to man the front desk while somebody was taking a lunch break. When I woke up in the morning, there were dog feces at my doorstep. I do not feel that this is what I paid over $100 for
