This place is really low budget IMO. Several guests looked to be living there permanently. Did not feel safe. I would not go back. Smelled weed residue in the room even tho' it was a non-smoking room.

I am writing to provide feedback regarding our recent one-night stay during a college visit. We arrived late in San Diego and unfortunately encountered several issues with our room. Upon entering, we immediately noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor. While the room appeared clean, the bathroom was not stocked with shampoo or conditioner. The situation worsened when we turned on the air conditioning; the mold smell intensified significantly, and the unit itself appeared as though it had not been cleaned for a long time. Within an hour of being in the room, I experienced an allergic reaction resulting in an itchy throat and sneezing. Due to these conditions, I would not choose to stay at this property again without first inspecting the room to ensure it is in better condition.

Great stay. They make you have a physical card for some reason. Why not a tap option?
