6/10 Good

I read previous reviews about the location & noise. Very correct! Neighborhood dirty with trash thrown about, heavy traffic with exhaust fumes and many homeless smoking their herbs or whatever. Noise level was off the charts. Many suspicious looking people would stare at me when I'd look out the window (which had no screens). Hotel sits on a street with traffic (and contributing noise) going on all around. How many sirens can there be? Did not feel safe to walk out after dark.

Property was very clean though shabby/aged. It is walkable to Balboa Park and Gaslight area. Close to City College tram station. Not many dining/eating places around but a McD's (in an emergency) about 500m up the road. There was a microwave but no plates or cutlery. Staff friendly.

6/10 Good

The hotel was ok and room was a good size and clean. The area around was dirty and lots of homeless. The parking is free but not guaranteed and very limited. If are looking for a good price and close enough to uber this will work. We wont stay here again due to the area and parking situation.

Staff is friendly. Room was clean but dusty in some areas like air conditioning. The curtains were very dirty with spots of food. Very limited parking space.

Better than anticipated, beating low expectations

This is typical lodge in a big city center. Close to MTS, but the walk may be on the dangerous side as there were/are a lot of individuals temporarily experience homelessness on the streets. However, the property appeared to be safe, secure and clean. The front office personnel was friendly and available. Security was on par. Room was relatively clean and habitable. First night was a bit noisy from the neighbors having a party. However, overall no complains for the class of the lodging property this is.

All in all it was a good place for the price. The gentleman at the fron desk was friendly. Microwave was broken and it smelt a bit musty. I'm paranoid about every hotel i sleep in so i generally bring sanatizing spray and pillow cases.

The rooms were very nice and clean. I liked how cool it looked inside like homie. The only thing is the view of the homeless outside but besides that it was nice. They had lots of tv channel options. Will stay here every time i come visit from now on.
