"Prime location, comfortable bed, nice staff, huge TV. However, I seriously considered sleeping in the car after seeing that parking lot. It didn't seem safe to leave my car there, with all the scatchy characters wandering around. There might have been a homeless and junkie convention in town, or it just gotten so much worse since the last time I was in San Diego. At the end, good value for the money. Highly recommended if you don't plan to park there."

"While the room is obviously newly renovated and clean, it smelled like cigarettes in there. Outside the units are bunch of personal items from the other unit that seems to be from people who are checked in for a longer stay or like they actually live there. By the parking lot, there are homeless people camping out by the dumpster in their cars and RV. They wouldn’t bother you and I wasn’t really bothered but just wanting to let other people know so they don’t get surprised when they come to stay...
