Studio 6-National City, CA - Naval Base San Diego

Room was extremely dirty, with toothpaste stains on faucets, leftover soap in the corners of bathtub, hair and stains on the floor. There was not a single hook or shelf in the bathroom to put or hang your stuff. We also had to ask front desk to change our sheets and the guy totally forgot about our request so we had to go get clean sheets ourselves after 20 minutes of waiting. Hotel is next to Highway and the windows have zero noise cancellation, so it was very loud. Avoid this place

The freeway noise was annoying, but the price and convenience was great for comic con

Clean and well maintained with excellent amenities. Booked another stay before we had even checked out.

So I booked this spot for San Diego comic con a year in advance because it was very cheap. First the pros: very friendly staff who are courteous and respectful. The exterior of the motel is maintained and is clean. They empty the trash bins outside the rooms constantly which a big plus. There are plenty of decent restaurants in and around national city to DoorDash or visit. There is a super Walmart within 5 minutes by car. At night, they block off the entrance to the motel and an employee is outside making sure no one comes in without a key. The MTS station is within walking distance from the motel which takes around 10 minutes. You can go straight to the convention center with these trains. And now for the cons: yes, there are a LOT of hookers walking up and down the street. You’ll know exactly who they are wearing skimpy revealing clothing with a clutch in their hand. Don’t make eye contact or you will be approached. The cops do stop by and they scatter but they do return to work the street again. I wouldn’t be too scared of them, but it may not be a place where you bring your kids. The room…. So I had to switch rooms on my final night. There was a cockroach the size of a small mouse chilling on the shower wall. Both rooms were not perfect and were dirty if you pay attention to the details. I would definitely avoid national city if you can and stay clear from this motel unless it’s absolutely necessary. Also it’s is very noisy at night being next to the freeway.

Great clean room
