What guests think

Hotel Point Loma draws mixed feedback, with many guests appreciating its budget-friendly value, walkable location near Shelter Island and the airport, and generally clean rooms supported by friendly, accommodating staff.

Common downsides include traffic noise, limited on-site parking that often carries an extra fee, and dated rooms with maintenance issues such as weak heating, clogged or broken fixtures, and occasional hot-water outages. Cleanliness is frequently praised but inconsistent, with some reports of odors, mildew, stained linens, and bugs. Expect a basic, no-frills stay where location and price stand out more than amenities.

The place is a remodeled older motel from the 50's It is very clean and nice. the rooms are extra small and the issues were a broken tv, the refrigerator was warm when we arrived and the room had no table or chair. The kitchen had no kitchen stuff, pots, pans or plates etc. There were a lot of extra charges that were not listed on the website for pets and they charged extra for house cleaning.

Parking is tight, but great location to fishing boats and some convenient restaurants. The room with the kitchen and queen size bed with sofa sleeper, would be great if it was fully stocked with dishes to cook since there is a stove top burner, but there are literally no dishes, no pots, no silverware nothing. So don't go here if you are expecting the kitchen to be stocked to cook.

The hotel charges $10 service fee each day. This charge was never on any other hotel expenses in the U.S. and this charge did not appear on online hotel price detail. It is a kind of cheating by hiding some charges in the hotel advertisement.

Unfortunitly our room may have been the worst on the site. Suite,1 Queen Bed with Sofa bed,Kitchenette (Rm 107). Stained sheets, dirty couch, counter with large gap for water to get under formica hidin possible mold. the bathrooom fan vent completely clogged with packed dust. Behind clogged fan grate was an abundance of mold. Baked on food on stove top, (Razor could remove), Smaller refrigerator that advertised in photos for room type, I understand it is an "Affordable" option for the Point Loma area, but some invesment needs to be mde back into the units or update the photos. The shower head and shower were good. We chose only to stay for 1 of our 3-night reservation. with Managers approval Hotels.com will refund the unused nights. At this point not resolution. They did reimberse the $10 parking fee for the one night we did stay. The gentleman at check-in desk was exceptionally pleasnt and a pleasure to work with.

I looked at several places in the area and this one fit our needs and budget. It seemed better than the average motel, I suppose. The room was clean and check-in was easy. While there were limited amenities (free Wi-Fi, cable TV), I did appreciate the mini fridge and microwave (for leftovers- plenty of restaurants nearby). We didn't require housekeeping, but we saw the housekeepers and front-desk person daily, so I'm sure that if we needed anything, all we had to do was ask. My only complaint is that it was pretty noisy. It's on a busy street and you can hear the traffic from inside the room. The A/C drowns out some of the noise though, so it didn't keep me awake at night.

I would suggest that you save your time booking with this property. First I was not able to sleep due to the noisy air conditioning unit. Then the feeling of things crawling on me made imposible. I woke up to find a newly hatched cockroaches all over the dresser in the middle of the night! Avoid at all cost!!!

Heat didn't work properly. Always piping in freezing air, staff couldn't fix, so turned off. Led to lack of fan noise to drown out busy street noise. Hidden plugs not convenient for charging devices. Had to pull back bed to find plug for lamp which had not been plugged in. Huge headboard hit me in the head as a result, other plugs didn't hold the plugs or seem to work. NO PLACE to hang a single item of clothing.

The pictures on the website look nice, but that is not the reality. It was really rundown, there was no closet or dresser or table. So I had to live out out of my suitcase with it sitting on the floor. The one nightstand was in really bad shape. The bathroom was falling apart. And the room smelled so heavy of cleaning chemicals that I had to put a washcloth over my nose to try to sleep. The staff was very friendly, but the room was not very nice.

I had great customer service from the housekeepers to Sam who knows the importance of and the meaning of “customer service”. His friendliness is 100% letting me know that he appreciated my stay, wished me well with my upcoming medical procedures. His communication skills showing the time he left & the time he would return neatly printed & large enough to see was 100% right on with the couple times dealing with me 3 times I decided that I was staying another day at the last minute just before 11:00 a.m. Sam had it done & was handing me back my updated door key card. Shout out to the nicest housekeeper who wears gold wire framed eyeglasses! She was consistent everyday bringing me wash cloths, hand & bath towels and one bath floor mat! Her punctuality at my room door and her never forgetting did not go unnoticed by me. Thank you! I appreciate it! All you folks that work hard everyday to keep things clean, running smooth,in good order lots of things in hours

Glad we arrived before 10 pm- the office is closed from 10pm to 8am. Nearby grocery store, cafes, bars, and marina. Great vibe in Point Loma- we will definitely come back for the price and location!!

During checkin, I asked to use the restroom. Due to prostate surgery, the urgency was extreme. The manager could not find it in himself to allow me to use his bathroom (no bathroom in lobby). I told him about my condition and he was not going to budge. Unfortunately, I did not quite make it to the room. Perhaps he has had one too many bad experiences with allowing customers to use his bathroom. This is not my first stay here, but will be my last. A little consideration would have gone a long way. As for the room, the attempt to maximize the occupancy has minimized the amount of room to move around in the room. The water in the toilet kept turning on and off. We were only staying the one night and checking out early - so we just slept and left early the next morning. Perhaps the person checking us in would do better in another line of work.

This is the place to stay at a great price! It’s centrally located for me in my favorite area of Point Loma. Sam was very nice with a great smile and did our check in fast and efficiently. I extended our stay from one overnight to two. I met two of the nicest housekeepers and let them know I appreciated them and their service. They didn’t need to clean the room because the room didn’t need cleaning and that our stay was extended one more overnight because of my fondness of Shelter Island and the beautiful Point Loma area. Hotel Point Loma gets my score of 100%!

Checked in around 9 pm after a long day. Was looking forward to a shower and restful nights sleep. Door to the lobby was locked and you have to ring a doorbell for service. Attendant mentions they have a gas leak and there is no hot water. He says he will give me free parking which was $10 I was not even aware of. Felt like they should’ve given a bigger discount for having to take a cold shower. As we walked up the stairs my daughter witnessed 2 guys in a car in the parking lot using needles. Room was pretty dumpy with toilet seat broken and plugs behind thr bed didn’t work. I had to charge my phone in the closet with the microwave. Shower head was at my chest and again water was cold. Beds were average. Lastly, I got up early in the morning to go to Starbucks and when I got back the key wouldn’t even open the room. Not the best stay

My room was clean with a cold frig and basic cox cable TV. The motel is on a busy street, but with the fan running the traffic noise was blocked out. There is an excellent Mexican restaurant called La Perla 3 about 3 blocks south on Rosecrans. If your coming from the airport and traveling light, you can catch the 923 bus at the Harbor Drive and Spanish Landing stop. From terminal 2, walk just west of Air Canada and use the crosswalk. Walk south briefly through a parking lot and continue on a sidewalk to North Harbor Drive. The bus goes west to Nimitz, then a few blocks to Rosecrans. There is a Ralphs grocery store on that corner. Finally, walk south on Rosecrans about 6 blocks to Hotel Point Loma. This sounds like a lot, but it is really quite doable and saves over Uber or taxi fares. (bus $2.50 or $1.25 senior, exact change or Pronto app) I'm 72 and just had a small backpack and it was easy.
