San Diego’s waterfront airport lies northwest of downtown, which is home to the San Diego Convention Center, PetCo Park stadium, and the Gaslamp Quarter’s. That historic neighborhood’s restaurants and bars are the hub of the city’s nightlife. Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo form a green swath in this urban jungle. Offshore, Coronado Island offers postcard views of the city skyline.

"I wouldn't stay here again"
There was no parking. Only street parking or you had to pay $12 to park in a lot across the street. The front desk clerk was rude and acted like she didn't like her job. There was no sink in the bathroom, it was in the hallway by the door to get into the room. I felt like I was in a druggy neighborhood. Will never stay here again. It should have been […] a quarter of the price Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Get what you pay for!"
You legitimately get what you pay for, however, it's a CHEAP cab to Gaslamp.. Pack your own blankets (ehhhwwww).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Avoid this hotel at absolutely all costs."
I posted a very long and detailed review on a popular review site but thought I'd write a short one here as well. This hotel is disgusting- from the musky smelling air to the stained and ripped bed linens. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. I tried speaking with the hotel manager, Neil, who was very uninterested in being […] of any help. When I asked for a contact at corporate or his supervisor I was told that "I am the manager and I am not giving you that information." For anybody who is considering a stay here I highly suggest reading reviews from sites that allow longer and more detailed reviews. Words can not begin to explain my disappointment and frustration.

"Not happy customer"
I did not like that you guys did not offer parking and if you did the guy in the front did not mention it to me. It was my first time in San Diego so I did not know many things and when I asked the guy in the front he gave me short annoyed answers.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Keep your expectations WAY low"
When I made my reservations, I was excited that it was close to the Gaslamp District, even if it was a noisy hotel. On the Friday that we were supposed to check in, I called the hotel in the morning to ask if we could check in early. I was told, "No, check-in is at 3:00pm." I was told they would not make an exception. We arrived at 1:00pm and I asked […] for an early check-in again. I was told the same thing. I explained that my bf recently hurt his back and it was hurting from the 2 hour car ride. The front desk woman said that she did not have a list of available rooms and to come back. We finally checked-in at 2:30pm. I have never been told that I could not check-in early. Our room was so small that I called the front desk thinking that they gave me a double bed, but they assured me that it was a Deluxe Queen. The only sink in the room is at the tiny kitchenette. Our room faced the street and it was noisy. The area has a lot of homeless people and there is no soundproofing. The walkways are very small and you have to maneuver around cleaning carts (which housekeeping does not offer to move). Their elevator does not seem up to code - the certificate is from 2010 and a notice is posted from January 2012 saying that a new certificate is being processed. It is extremely slow to go up one floor. The courtyard is charming and the hotel is clean at least; however, the hotel service was very unaccommodating and the rooms are much smaller than advertised. I would not stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"You get what you pay for"
The room felt like somebody decorated a jail cell with 1970s stuff. There were stains on the comforter and the mattress was super uncomfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Yuck"
This room smelt like hospital and not in a good way there was no sink in the bathroom so you had to use the mini kitchen sink . Which had no mirror above it .. The view of a construction site was just a classic . The paper thin walls well lets just say the room above me was having a great time which was rather embarrassing to hear .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"smelly and gross"
was in a non smoking room that smelled worse then an ash tray! no parking and tiny room. not worth it! frig is in the nesty bathroom!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Not what I expected at all. Didn't feel comfortable or safe. Wouldn't stay again or recommend to anyoneGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"very bad hotel"
it is the worst ideaGenuine Hotels.com guest review
No parking structure. Room size was not what I expected. Too small also, I requested a queen bed (paid extra for it) and the bed must have been a full.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bad hotel for family"
This hotel was not what I expected for the rate I paid for. It was embrass to invite anyone to the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Stay away!!"
The breakfast was poor as well. There was somebody counts how much you ate and I felt that he would stop me if I exceeded my limit. Furthermore, if you asked him for any missing item, he rudely answered NO. I did feel the place is safe too.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Avoid this if you can."
Cheap and in a good location, but old and decrepit and NO PARKING.Genuine Expedia guest review
This was the worse hotel that i have ever stayed. The smell disgusting. I smell as if i was sleeping in the sewer ofthe city.. The cigarette smell and urine smell was just unbarebel.. I will never in my life spend a night on that hotel ever again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"This hotel is a small step up from a Hostel!!"
The room was very saw, and the shower had a clogged. The hotel does not provide any parking, and it's very hard to find parking on the street. I would not recommend this photo to anybodyGenuine Expedia guest review
"Should be torn down and start over."
The staff at the desk was very helpful, but the Hotel itself is a disaster. It is not clean, very noisy, and the parking is a joke, there is none. We watched the maid clean the room and she never washed the coffe cups just rinsed them out and put back. They don't even serve regular coffee in the morning, they just use instant Nescaffe. What a joke.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not Recommended"
The room I had was tiny, smelled and was locatedd in a neighborhood with many homless surrounding the area. The parking was a nightmere as you have to park on the street. I did not feel safe, clean or comfortable while my 2 hour stay. I decided to find another location to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"LAME!!!"
not nice at all. all 4 rooms we moved to reeked of smoke. bums EVERYWHERE. not a good hotel for the money i would rather stay at a motel 6 and save a few bucks.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small..."
The room was small and if you have two in your party, even if you are a couple, get two beds if you want to sleep.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very Spartan. No mirror or sink in bathroom. Not what I expected. Further from the Convention Center than I was told. Staff and breakfast were nice however.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Americas Best Value Inn"
Rude staffGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Too noisy all night with people upstairs walking around and too many voices carried in the courtyard outside my room. I didn't sleep at all. During the day....airplanes overhead. I had booked 3 nights...stayed one and left to find a different hotel. Also, parking is $17.50 a day across the street....deal...no deal...NO DEAL.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Less than pleasant stay"
Next to main roads. Right below plane take off / arrival path, so loud plane noise is constant except noise curfew hours (11:30PM-6:30AM). Quiet and unsafe neighborhood - not recommended to be outside after sunset.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ameican Best Value Inn- San Deigo (downtown)"
My mother and I stayed at the American Best Value Inn in San Diego. We switched rooms three times. Every room was dirty, the maid service sucks. Let me talk about the bed bugs, my mom was itching the entire time and now she has big bite mark up and down her arm, under her breast and her back. I would not recommend this place. If you love your family, […] you'll stay somwhere else.. The price was right but you'll get what you paid for and more besides. You can hear the airplanes constantly, you must find you own parking, no parking lot for this hotel. The front desk service is SUPERB, the breakfast they offer is great. BEAWARE FOR THE BED BIGS!!!

"This Place Is Awesome If You Want To Be Harrased"
I checked into this place and everything is fine. Try to come home at 1:30 in the morning and they wouldn't let me in the front door. I showed the guy my key and he wouldn't let me in the door, insisting I wasn't staying there. The next thing I know the cops were behind me threatening to arrest me if I didn't leave, so I ended up spending the night […] on the street. They refused to check my name in the computer. I ended up coming back around $ on the way to the airport, grabbed my stuff, and threw the key at the front desk. When I spoke to the manager he denied everything. Stay here if you love to stay in crack town and be harassed. Good luck Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"America's best value inn"
It was a horrible place!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This place was a complete dump , a cracker box , loud and noisy . I would not let my worst enemy stay here.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Terribly dissapointed."
While we realized we would not be staying at a nice place the room size was tiny and there weren't any options for two beds. They did not even have a cot to bring up. And if they had, we would not have had space to put it anywhere. Our third person literally had to sleep on the floor in the closet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bad."
We saw a roach crawling in the bed. Enough said. DON'T go there.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Way to small of a room!"
Rooms are extremely small - not like the pictures at all. Staff a little disinterested - but still professional. Best thing it has is location - with the exception of the flight path! Complimentary breakfast was not very good at all!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very Noisy"
Noisy! Had to change rooms after first night due to noise. First Room was on the main entrance road, and only one floor up from street level. People congregate and talk around the entrance at all hours. Room for next 2 nights was up higher and at rear of building, but still very noisy. This place is directly under the flight path to SAN AIRPORT, but […] the planes stop around 12pm. There is no noise insulated windows. Ear plugs have little effect, trust me I tried!

"Ne vous fier pas sur les photos des chambres!"
Il a plein de demi vérité dans l'annonce de cet hotel. il n'y a qu'un étage non fumeur. il y des cendriers sur tous les étages et qui sont utilisés abondemment. Il y a de la poussière qui n'a pas été enlevé depuis longtemps. Il y a de la moisissure sur le rideau de douche. On c'est fait vendre une chambre de luxe alors que la personne à la réception […] nous dit qu'elles sont toutes pareils.Bref, on ne se fera pas reprendre deux fois.
