For staff I’d definitely give them 5 stars, very friendly and helpful, but property is in poor shape, old lights, take about 10 seconds to turn on, scratched/stained floors, old pillows, old spring mattresses, old linen, it was honestly very uncomfortable, we barely slept about 3 hours with everything going outside our room but we had no choice, every other hotel was full. A lot of people coming in and out throughout the night, thin walls you can hear everything. Parking is inside property and I saw a couple of security guards on site which was comforting. Hotel is in a very shady area, far from downtown San Diego.

Front desk girl was rude. She refused to give us the room. Because we booked through Hotels.com. She wanted me to pay extra. I called many times customer service to handle the situation. We were waiting outside for long. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
