Clean & Quiet

"A no frills stay, the staff was always accessible, helpful and friendly. There was always someone focused and quietly cleaning around the property. I'd stay there again!"

Great Bang for your Buck

"Reviewed some comments before stay.. Agreed with the positive reports regarding the breakfast. It would be what one would reasonably expect and more.. Eggs and Sausage were delicious, wide variety of other continental type items available.. Coffee was not my favorite but reasonable plus Starbucks is < 10 min walk (I drank the Comfort Inn coffee all 4 days!!!).. Room and bed very comfortable for the setting. Front Desk staff very helpful AND we needed couple extra towels one day. The lady at the front desk assured me it was not a big deal and jumped to accommodate my request.. Neighborhood— Located in a business district with some Industrial bent, but easy to moderate walk to restaurants and stores.. Easy moderate walk to Old Town San Diego for wife and I (age 60’s) and major MTS center.. Was easy to catch the train.. “Homeless” as note in other reports?. Yes- seen at a reasonable distance.. not a issue when my wife and I walked to businesses, Old Town, and MTS.. IMHO it should not affect Your decision with all the other positive things about this motel.. I never felt unsafe when walking outside the motel complex.. If you have a car then it is Not a logistical issue, you are situated away from all this concern…. How can they improve? More choices and variety of yogurt, hot chocolate to make my mocha, more variety teas. I know I am being picky… "

"Nice property. They have secure parking but it costs extra 30 bucks a night which seems to be a theme of San Diego hotels. Was disappointed at the lack of included breakfast. There is a nice restaurant on property that provides good food options. Very convenient location and the beds were comfy. 4 stars overall. "
