National City Motel

This place has plenty parking and it’s economical

Nothing unique. Next to gate at Naval Base. Parking adequate and well lit.

No ice machine

We stay here because the hotel price fair. It’s close to shops and restaurants and it has plenty of parking.

I like the convenience of the parking lot.

A safe place to stay while I attended a concert at Petco. The a/c worked great, the place was clean though it did have a slight odor of cigarette smoke. Plenty of parking. I recommend for friends going out and not having to pay the crazy prices of Gaslamp or other downtown hotels. Staff was very friendly.

Close to Balboa Park. Lots of parking space.

The listing is spot on. It took looked just like the pics.it is literally a 1-2 minute drive from the highway but couldn't hear any noise from inside. Very easy driving access to most all attractions within 10-35 minutes depending on traffic. A good pizza place just a block down. Felt safe walking to it and parking our polestar in the hotel lot.

Check in was fairly quick. Easy free parking, pretty clean room, and has all amenities needed. It’s a quick drive to the freeway. Check out was fast. Good for my one night stay.

Parking was convenient.

The clearness is poor and the staff is not very friendly. The bedding is very old.

Clean room with comfortable bed, fridge & good shower. Good free TV channels for sports & movies. Close to freeway but no traffic noise. Large mall with good restaurants, movies, etc 2 miles down road. Bsasic family owned, updated motel. Reasonably priced and staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’ve stayed twice and will return because location is close to hospitals.

It was the most disgusting Motel I have ever seen. Human hair on the bed, dead flies on the bed, yellow stains on the pillow cases, burn marks and holes in the mattress and sheets. This was all noticed within the first 5 minutes of walking into the room. Immediately came to the front counter and asked for a refund which they denied and refused to work with me even after seeing the photos I had taken. This Motel needs to be content

Deeply infested with roaches. I understand that for the price, and understanding what the area is like, it is fine, but I wouldn’t stay here again unless I have to.

Right when we walked in and turned on the lights cockroaches were on the walls and on the floor. Roaches on the bath towels. We took photos and showed it to the front desk. They went to the room and sprayed Raid to kill the roaches and came back showed us the bottle of Raid and said they are gone now. What a joke! He tired to offer another room but most likely there’s roaches there also. We also notice prostitution going on right out side of the hotel. We tried to get our money back and they wouldn’t give it back and Expedia only gave us $25 out of the $200 for the night that we paid for. I’ll make sure to read reviews before booking again.

Bed bugs and roachs I promise to god AVOID!!!!

There was roaches in my room and they said no refund and it’s making you guys look bad for doing business with these people. The manager tried to blame me for “bringing” the roaches but then I see on yelp that I wasn’t the only one who has gone through this. He basically stole $100 from me I couldn’t even sleep after that and on top of that he’s risking me bringing pests into my home once I go home 1 roaches can lay a bunch of eggs. They definitely need a visit from the department of health.

I have stayed a various hotels/motels in the past weeks while searching for a place to rent. National City Motel was by far the worst, and that's saying something. My room wreaked of odor, possibly because at one time it had been a smoking room, which I didn't know still exists, but does at this motel. I could not get really hot water in the shower when I arrived, but somehow did in the morning. The bed did not smell fresh and I found stains on the sheets. This caused nearly non-existent sleeping. The whole place was uncomfortable. I would have left and asked for a refund but your website says my money is not refundable once you confirm. A waste of money which I wish I could recoup with a refund.

No clean room enough. We found hairs on the pillow and the bed sheets too

There is hair on the pillows. There are stains on the sheets and bed. We are abandoning the hotel and asking for a full refund!!!

Little shady but a lot of police force shown. No water pressure.

Too much noise of the air conditioner

Hotel room is fine, however the shower curtain let a lot of water onto the bathroom floor, the bathroom door was difficult to close and the smell wasn't great but you get used to it. The surrounding area is okay but seemingly unsafe and has a lot of homeless walking around.

No big issues really, clean, quiet for the most part, just very questionable people in the parking lot which made me nervous. A man tried to talk to me even though my husband was 30 feet away. It was scary. Be careful here if you stay here. No hot water either, just hardly warm.

the room too hot and air conditioner make noise

No carpeting in room, cold water in shower & sink ran as hot as the hot water. Room sleeps 2, but there was only 1 wash cloth, 1 hand towel & 1 bath towel. AC was off & room was very hot when arriving, however they knew we were expected because they had everything waiting for us so the room should have been cooled as well. I guess you get what you pay for.

The person running the property was nice. I didn't have a lot of interaction with him, but he seemed like nice guy. The proerty itself was fine. But the area around it was super sketchy, with hookers and their pimps working a few of the streets on and very close to the property. I'd never bring my family to stay there. Especially young childrenm Ever! The room itself is small and the water comes out at a trickle. I won't stay there again, unless I bring body armor and they improve water pressure. Good luck with that.

Comfortable

Super small shower head. Tub spout not working properly. EtcSLIPPERY bath tub.

TV didn’t work. Guy working the front desk knew this & didn’t offer any discount on the room & didn't really care.

We stayed here 1x b4. It was Ok! This trip was AWFUL! Rude staff! Lack of cleanliness! Demanding we leave @ checkout time as she knocked on our door! NO OTHER people or vehicles were there! WE app

Great staff

Great customer service and good location. The motel is reasonably priced and decent. We have stayed here before and we have had no problems.

Awesome staff!!

Terrible customer service

Upon arrival the person that way at the window for check in stated that there was an additional $20 dollar deposit which was not stated at the time of booking online. I let him know that when booking online it does not let you know about this policy and he just kept says “$20 cash deposit” and completely ignored what I was saying. Inside the motel the sheets were dirty, the towels were dirty, as well as the shower curtain. Would not recommend staying here to anyone.

Good Customer service!

Not a great experience. I understand things happen and they happened to me. A family was said to have left without paying who had stayed in the room my family and I were staying. Food was left in the fridge. An hour in to our stay someone opens our door with a key saying this was their room and wanted to know where their stuff was. Clerical error but not my fault. Poor family was relocated to a different room. I needed an iron... I went to the office to ask for one and the young receptionist gave me one that didn't work. After going back to the office and telling her what happened with the iron, the receptionist instructed me to look for the housekeeping lady since she was around and I should ask her for an iron. Really!?? I should look for the housekeeping lady and ask for a working iron. Common!!! She didn't have the decency of looking for the housekeeping lady herself. Never again will this happen to me. I would not stay here again. The facilities are old and need to be spruced up. My experience was not the best. I'm being generous with my rating for this place.

I called them early in the morning that my flight was delayed and was going to arrive late at night. They honored my reservation and was able to check in after hours. Really thankful, excellent service.

Management very helpful and kind

Motel was clean and maintained well. Rooms were updated. Area around motel is sketchy especially at night. There were hookers on just about every corner in the area day and night.

Location is great, close to San Diego City and the beach. The hotel needs upgrade. Surrounding is also not the best

Clean room with comfortable bed, fridge & good shower. Good free TV channels for sports & movies. Close to freeway but no traffic noise. Large mall with good restaurants, movies, etc 2 miles down road. Bsasic family owned, updated motel. Reasonably priced and staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’ve stayed twice and will return because location is close to hospitals.

Easily accessible

The room itself was clean and well kept. The surrounding areas were on the sketchy side. This hotel is a decent budget option for an overnight stay.

Nice room and nice location. Coronado beach is around 8 miles away and sea World is around 7 miles away.

A safe place to stay while I attended a concert at Petco. The a/c worked great, the place was clean though it did have a slight odor of cigarette smoke. Plenty of parking. I recommend for friends going out and not having to pay the crazy prices of Gaslamp or other downtown hotels. Staff was very friendly.

The listing is spot on. It took looked just like the pics.it is literally a 1-2 minute drive from the highway but couldn't hear any noise from inside. Very easy driving access to most all attractions within 10-35 minutes depending on traffic. A good pizza place just a block down. Felt safe walking to it and parking our polestar in the hotel lot.

What I like is that it is a simple cozy place. Not much to ask and that's why I like the price. The dislike, near the highway street where certain women walk the night and day street if you know what I mean.

Convenience location. Shopping and restaurants near by.
