This was a decent place to stay as a single, male traveler. It was quite noisy both on the street and within the hotel. My hotel room was clean enough but I'm low maintenance. Staying at a cheap hotel in San Diego means that some of your neighbors may be dealing with homelessness, drug use challenges, stress that can make them unfriendly, which is why I wouldn't stay here if I was traveling with kids. Otherwise, lots of nice places to walk to close to the hotel.
