2-Star Hotels in San Diego

It used to be a Comfort Inn that we have always stayed at for over 10 years but now a Best Western. Very nice upgrades, great and friendly staff, love the location, A good place to stay. Close to downtown, Old Town, Zoo, and 5 minutes to the beach and shopping and golf just 5 minutes away also.

We stayed in the Gaslamp area for our anniversary went to Petco Park for the big concert and we had dinner out in the Gaslamp area and went to Seaport Village it was wonderful because everything was in walking distance

The room was clean and organized. It was a little noisy because of the location near the interstate 8. The receptionists are nice. I forgot my staff in my room, and called them to take it for me. They called me back later and kept it for a while. The reason I rated 4 for service is a room services I thought no room service available due to COVID-19, but there was. When I was relaxed in my room, ladies suddenly opened the door to clean. I wanted nobody to enter my room so refused cleaning. After they left, they laughed loudly and talked in Spanish. It was uncomfortable for me... But overall, I like the cleanliness. I’ll stay there again.

Very nice renovated room. Just had an issue with parking in hotel parking lot with an oversized vehicle. Luckily there was an ACE parking lot across the street from the hotel that was actually less expensive.

Made a last minute decision to spend a day in San Diego. Because it was a last minute decision during a weekend, hotel prices in SoCal were insane. I ended up paying over $100 to stay at this Motel 6 for one night. Honestly, if you pay more than $50 a night, you're being ripped off. Not the best parking lot. I had to park on an extremely sloped part of it that left my vehicle at an almost 45 degree angle side-to-side. Had to step over homeless people to get through the front door of the motel. They were in the lobby too. The motel looks like a homeless shelter both inside and out. Check in and out were okay. Hotel clerks were nice. Most of the rooms in this motel face the inside, which makes the rooms darker, dingier, and more cramped-feeling than they already are. My room was dirty. There were still bits of someone else's dental debris in the sink. Also, black mold on the walls in the shower stall. I love a good, high pressure shower, but the shower had the pressure of a fire hydrant - so good that it hurt! The tub also had a slow drain. Terrible bed. It was essentially on a board and the mattress wasn't very good. Homeless shelter bedding provided, including a thin blanket. No in-room safe. There was a TV but no microwave or fridge. The property is located downtown although not all that close to the major attractions in San Diego if you don't have a car. Balboa Park is a mile away, I believe. Definitely regret staying here.

Jennifer Rivera-Nichols 1/5 just now on Google I arrived with my mom to check in at this worst San Diego hostel at 1am...ridiculously exhausted. My mom had just paid to park 2 blocks away and we carried armfuls of belongings with us to the hostel. When we arrived, the clerk was like, ”Reservation?” like my mom was speaking Greek. She said nothing and just walked away. Minute later the owner came in and told my mom that I was not allowed to stay there because I'm under 18. She was talking to my mom like a bully. My mom explained to the owner that our room was already paid for, that she had booked it thru hotels.com as a minor + adult, and that it was 1am already...we're exhausted and where else are we gonna get a room at that hour. I kept falling asleep on their staircase during this time because I was so tired. The lady was arguing with my mom about their rules. Meanwhile, the clerk keeps saying to my mom, ”She's just trying to help you.” That's a lie. If they wanted to help, they could have...but they did not. After a heated conversation, the owner says she will allow me to stay. I was relieved. Then 3 seconds later I just heard her tell my mom, ”Nevermind. I don't like your attitude. You need to get off my property.” WTH Really? This mean lady was gaslighting my mom, bullying her, and was mad at us for just for walking thru the door. She could have approached my mom saying, ”Hi, I'm So-and-So, the owner. It looks like there is a discrepancy with your booking. Because we have shared bathrooms here, we don't allow children. I know it's 1am, and hearing this is really stressful, but let's see what we can do to figure this out. Would you be able to accompany your daughter to the bathroom?” Instead she treated my mom really bad like she had done something wrong. We've stayed at plenty of hostels. None of them had a policy saying I could not be there. I was starting to feel really scared that I would not have a place to sleep since I heard my mom on the phone trying to find a new hotel. They were all full or $300. This Gaslamp Hostel owner is anti-children, anti-family, and made me feel like I had caused my mom so much hassle :-( After we wasted an hour trying to check in and get our money back, I tried to cheer my mom up. I was hugging her while she sat on the phone with hotels.com. I told her I could sleep in the car so she would not have to spend more money or be more stressed, but my mom said it's not safe to sleep in the car, and she didn't know where we could park to do that anyway. My mom was crying when we left. We ended up sleeping in a gross motel smoking room. I saw a bug on the table when we walked in. The owner of this cheap San Diego hotel is not a human being. All the next day, my mom was depressed and sad. This occurrence really ruined our entire weekend. Gaslamp Hostel reviews San Diego. Worst San Diego hostel. Downtown San Diego hostel nightmare. NOT the best San Diego hostel--total nightmare. Disaster. Horror story. TripAdvisor Ga

This hotel has a good location. It's two miles from SAN, the cruise terminal, and at the entrance of Little Italy. Harborview is across the street which has restaurants and a park. La Jolla is about 12 miles. Surf Sports park in Del Mar is a 30 minute drive. This hotel is not the newest but in fair condition. The lobby is welcoming. There is a complimentary breakfast with waffles, bagels, eggs, breakfast potatoes, fruit, juice, oatmeal, cereal, and some type of meat (sausage, bacon, etc.) There are several unhoused sleeping and walking around the streets bordering the hotel. The park across the street offers restrooms that are used by the unhoused. Many steps are taken to ensure security - doors locked from 8pm-10am, garage/garage elevators/lobby bathrooms only accessible with room key, security outside after dusk. Be warned. There is a train behind the hotel which runs into the deep night. The west side of the hotel faces Pacific Highway and cars/ambulances/fire trucks run all night long. If you are a light sleeper, pick a room on the north side of the hotel or bring your ear plugs. Also, parking was $40 a night!

Nice hotel, right next to the park and close to the sea. You can go to the Midway Island aircraft carrier if you just walk around, and the surrounding environment is good. Free parking is available.

The location of the hotel is very good, next to the lively ”Little Italy” dining street, close to the attractions such as the aircraft carrier USS Midway and Victory Kiss and the light rail station. However, the sound of planes taking off and landing at the nearby airport is relatively loud, and the hotel facilities are relatively shabby. There is no coffee machine and it is not convenient to drink hot water.

For this price, it’s not bad. The hotel can also do laundry here, which is cheap and not expensive. For me, this is a bright spot. The disadvantage is that if you come back too late, you have to enter through a small door next to it. The door is very locked. Danger
