"convenient location"
Overall the room was clean but the furniture wasn't in the best shape (one night stand actually had a piece of the drawer cut out and it looked like it was used to repair the other nightstand). The bathroom door wouldn't close or lock. When taking a shower the water would get extremely cold, then extremely hot, then ok. This cycle continued the entire […] time while taking a shower both days. Very frustrating. For the rate we knew what we were getting but the one thing that we really missed was just a good shower.

"Nice location"
Nice hotel, everyone was super friendly. Once night time hit though, loud people around our hotel room and creepy guy was sitting in the parking lot, in the dark and got out of what looked like a non-functioning car once he saw us (two ladies) walking towards our room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Pretty Decent place. Breakfast could have had a few more options. Especially considering the location. Nice staff, clean rooms. The cleaning lady knocked on our door to clean both days prior to 9 am. I didn't like that. Overall a good stay if you don't mind staying a few minutes (no more than 7 minute drive) from downtown.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Location, location, location"
Absolutely great location. Right by Old Town to explore the restaurants, shops, Whaley House, etc. Very short drive to SeaWorld, or one of the area beaches. Not a long drive to either the airport or zoo also. The room was very basic, but shower was fine, nice TV, bed properly made and room clean. The continental breakfast is basically fruit, cereal, […] pastries, coffee, and whatever juice they happen to have out when you come in. Do not book your stay based on the breakfast, lol. The price is a great value, so if you're on a limited travel budget, I would recommend it, as I would be willing to repeat. If you have the $$$ though to burn, stay somewhere else.

"Cheap, Great Location, So-so accommodations"
The location was great. We walked over to Old Town, and it is close enough to everything else and near the freeway. The staff was friendly and pointed out several tourist spots. The bed was hard and springy. The rooms were simple and as basic as it gets. More of a motel, but prices were cheap. The breakfast was not very appealing, even if it was complimentary. […] You're better off going through a drive thru. It is what it is. If either the room or the breakfast was better, I would consider staying again. The location was close but you go around in circles off the freeway just to find it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Close to SeaWorld and Phil's BBQ"
Our stay was very nice. It was clean inside, besides the floor being wet. It was conveniently close to several handy shops (7 Eleven, Ralphs), restaurants (Phil's BBQ), attractions (SeaWorld). We got a sale price, which was GREAT! We asked for extra towels and cups and were never refused. The staff was friendly and gave us everything we needed. THANK […] YOU!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to old town. Clean room but could use some updating. Great value.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"This hotel had everything you could want."
This hotel was clean, very friendly and helpful, near everything and especially public transportation. We didn't even have to rent a car. We went to the beach, sea world, the San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village and my friend was even able to go to the hospital to visit a friend. I couldn't believe the rates were so good for all we received. Yes, a light […] breakfast too. :-D Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Exceeded Expectations"
I was looking for an affordable place to stay but still close to all the major attractions in San Diego. The location is 1 block from Old Town and a super quick drive to Balboa, Pt. Loma, and Coronado. Room was huge, bed was comfortable, A/C worked great (maybe a little noisy), bathroom was clean. Would definitely stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"old town san diego"
Have stayed here for years on our visits to san diego. Not just for old town but it's convienent location to transit center. Every trip has had wonderful guest check in staff, always friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It is a good hotel. Although looks quite normal, but quite comfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Padre Trail Inn"
PROS: - they let us check in an hour early for free - the room was very clean and comfortable - the front desk had irons and ironing boards for us to use in our room - had a lot of perks like coffee/tea maker with packets, cable tv, large mirrors, extra table and closet space, large bathroom, ac/heat, we got extra towels and toiletries, large suite-style […] rooms CON: - the shower pipes and pressure were acting weird so I had to take a bath one day instead of a shower. Maybe that wasn't so bad.. - pool was not heated :( Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Sized/Clean Room"
Had an upper room in back away from pool and street. Quiet location. Window in bathroom opened up and overlooked vacant lot behind motel, which allowed for nice breeze into the room. Two comfortable queen beds, work table, dresser, and night stand. Coffee Maker and mini-fridge, and I picked up an iron and ironing board at check-in for my stay. Free […] WIFI worked well entire stay w/o any problems. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Did I get herpes from the pillow?"
I'm just going to list: Air conditioning didn't work, it sounded like it was breaking down. carpet looked like it was never cleaned the bedding smelled like dirt along with the pillows. shower would randomly change temperatures the screen to the bathroom was broken the TV remote had no batteries three of us got bit my something mind you we know […] what we paid and we weren't expecting much but when the cops are on property each day, random people are running around, vomit on the grounds and possible hookers? like i said we didn't expect anything fancy but clean the rooms.

"good for a short stay..."
the hotel staff is incredible - very professional and friendly. the rooms are ok for the price.. the rooms are very old, but are kept up well enough. the room i was in had ants in the bathroom, though, and the carpets were pretty dirty (our feet were black from walking on them.. we ended up always wearing shoes in the room..) but.. for a short stay, […] its a good value.. would stay there again for a short stay.. anything longer than a night or two, i would recommend something better!

"Either we're unlucky or Padre Trail has gone bad"
The good news: Staff still friendly and tries hard. Bad news: Maintenance is woeful: Shower temperature was erratic for three days,from cold to scalding and back in seconds. Bathroom had major rust stains and several paint chips. Pillows were old and uncomfortable. Breakfast room was shabby and the food third rate. Furniture is dilapidated. This place […] desperately needs renovation. Until that happens I cannot recommend it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Padre Inn - good value hotel thats close to it all"
Pros: Clean room, great location, friendly clerks, CHEAP! Cons: Bathroom needed some upgrades/maintenance, almost non-existent "free" breakfast, remote for TV barely worked.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Padre Trail Inn"
For the price of the room for 3 nights i think the hotel was decent the doors were very loud when shutting so you always heard other people going in and out and would also wake up other people i was staying with, sometimes the water would go from hot to cold in the middle of the shower, but those are really the only two negatives about the hotel otherwise […] i was happy. 5 mins from mission beach was very nice as well. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel is old, A/C, heating system is way outdated and would make things hard to endure during the summer heat. Showers are small and bed is uncomfortable. Location is great, 6 minute walk to old town trolley station and minutes away from major freeways. Employees were very polite and friendly. Overall this place is cheap for its location but is also […] a cheap hotel. I would recommend if you were on a budget or didn't expect to spend much time in the hotel room.

"Good"
This place has had some new things done to it and it is good for the money you pay. Plus it puts you in right in Old Town and a short walk to the Trolley to take you anywhere else you want to go. All in all we enjoyed it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Choice Pick!"
This was such a lucky find on such short notice; the service was polite and friendly, the atmosphere in the lobby and was very welcoming. The room was clean and smelled of lemongrass, it had a warm -cozy feeling to it that only age brings. The walls were a little on the thin side, but we didn't mind in the least. I rarely like staying away from home- […] especially in hotel rooms, but this has to be the biggest exception- it was nestled in Old Town which made for a good neighborhood and quite area. We will definitely make this hotel our first choice whenever we visit San Diego- and we visit a lot!( once every month/every other month) I definitely recommend this hotel to those used to being a homebody and looking for a quiet place to relax after a long day of romping around.

"Bang for your buck."
You get what you paid for. Working AC, clean bathrooms, nice front desk, and great prices. Only thing i did not care for was the semi thin walls, sometimes loud guests with their loud vehicles outside, location of DTSD was a bit inconvenient for a bike ride but perfect since the trolly is there for pedestrians. Overall good experience and I would definitely […] recommend it to friends on a budget. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was older and showed it's age. There was no air conditioning and the room had a very strong odor of paint and formaldehyde. The continental breakfast consisted of juice, coffee and mini muffins. The staff however was extremely nice and helpful. Proably will not stay their again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"ABV Padre Trail Inn-close to S Diego's attractions"
hotel was in a very good area, in walking distance to Old Town, with bars, restaurants and shops/ good connection to the different highways, just minutes away from Fashion Valley, Gaslamp, Seaworld and the Zoo. hotel staff friendly and very helpful, rooms and blankets could be cleaner, but overall good experienceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, cheap, convenient."
The rooms were clean and had 2 beds just as I'd requested. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper such as myself as it is located at the intersection of 2 freeways. It's 2 blocks from the Old Town Amtrak stop.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worth the cheap price!"
For the cheap price it was totally worth it. Yes it is a basic motel, and at first it seemed somewhat shady with the burnt out sign, but it was completely clean (including bathrooms) which was very important to me; and is in walking distance to Old Town with free parking. It is noisy as the walls are thin and the "continental breakfast" is only free […] coffee and a mini muffin, but buying additional hot breakfast was cheap and not bad diner food. Saved us a lot of money to spend elsewhere in SD with a comfortable stay! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Padre Trail San Diego"
The hotel is in a convenient location - close to the trolley and Old Town San Diego. Shower is a little on the weak side. The beds aren't the most comfortable, so I wouldn't want to stay more than 1 or 2 nights. The low price for the room was worth it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great motel"
A simple but comfortable motel very close to Old Town. There is a continental breakfast provided but you can buy extras if you wish. The pool is small and cold (November 2012) and right next to a main road, but clean and tidy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It was fine, until we saw a dead cockroach just before we checked out.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
