The staff acts irritated anytime you ask for help, the grounds are littered with trash, and there are homeless individuals constantly approaching guests for money. The room itself was just okay, but the linoleum floor was melted or burnt, there was mold on the ceiling, and the entire place smelled like smoke. It was absolutely not worth the price.

This hotel shouldn’t be open, the conditions are terrible starting in front desk are dirty. The old carpet in the hall there are so filthy oily spots all over, smells mold. The bed sheets was covered with hair from the previous guess ,yellow spots and signs of fleas all over the bed and pillows, dirty floors, spiders web on the corners of the dark room, a lot of mold spots on the ceiling room and bathroom too, tank toilet broken. Ask for another room: was worst than the first… couldn’t stay in there. Anyway I canceled and asked for refund, they give me a hard time and refuse to refund me. I’m still trying to get my money back. The worst part is the front desk staff and manager was sarcastic told me to go to Hilton hotel. This hotel is completely unhealthy. I wouldn’t never recommend for anybody. I’m still going fighting to get my money back.

A lot of homeless outside hotel day and night. Parking was bad. Front desk said we were not allowed to park in parking lot bc it was full and to check back later. Went back later and he states guest had checked out so parking was available for purchase now. Went & purchased overnight parking & said we can park anywhere, then there was no parking spots available at night when we went to park and he couldn’t help us but say sorry and refund us. Don’t say we can’t park there unless we purchase a ticket but when “there’s spots available” sell us a ticket then not regulate your parking spots.

Dirty, disgusting, no amenities whatsoever. Should have been $50 a night but I paid $180 a night. There was a disgusting brown mystery stain on my bed sheets and it smelled like butt. We had one pillow each and when I asked for more they said they were completely out of pillows and blankets? I get naked to shower and have to put my clothes back on and go ask for shampoo and conditioner because it wasn’t in the room. No blow dryer either. The best part is I paid for two nights and had the bank statement and hotel confirmation for it. One of the staff messed something up so their system said I was only staying one night. I’m getting ready to leave and the manager says that I have to pack my stuff and leave by 11 pm (on my second night) even though I have all the booking confirmations. I’m freaking out because hello?? where else am I gonna go with all my luggage. The manager dgaf and to take it up with Expedia because there’s nothing he can do. I’m trying to contact Expedia for like an hour until he tells me one of the hotel staff members messed up and if I ever wanna stay here again he’ll give me a better rate. DO NOT STAY HERE PLEASE.

We got a room for 3 nights and when we showed up they had dog kibble everywhere and what I hope was dirt smeared into the floor with dog prints. There were also lady underwear stuffed in the corner. No parking so we had to leave our car in open lot a block away. The staff were really nice and helped us when our keys stopped working multiple times but overall not the best place to stay unless you plan to clean the room before you settle in.

It was a nice and pleasant stay overall for the 5 nights that I was there for SDCC. The location is convenient and close enough to food places and transportation. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay, especially when checking in, but there’s a strong exception for whoever was working at reception on Mon 27 July at 4:30pm. He was very rude, unhelpful and dismissive. I would have considered staying again but because of his behaviour, I’ll look elsewhere in the future

Parking was very difficult- the lot is very small and spots go fast. There isn't really a way to pre-reserve a spot. The property was very dirty and in disrepair, and the room itself was unacceptable. It smelled strongly of smoke and bathroom smells, and the trim was falling off the wall, there were bugs and spiderwebs and the bathroom door was damaged. The sheets had holes in them and were dirty. The air conditioning did not work at all. Overall, the room was very dirty and the area didn't feel safe. There was an unhoused person sleeping in the lobby with their dog too.

You have to pay utilities? No batteries in the tv remote. Stains all over the carpet in the halls. Homeless people across the street. My bed sheet had a stain on it. I didn't sleep in that bed. Vanity was halfway off the sink. No water pressure. Curtain was hanging off the window. The grounds were un kept. This place I feel is just for people who just need a place to stay. If you are taking a vacation. Look somewhere else. This is not the place. I was going to stay a week. I left the next day. They would not refund my money. Just don't stay here. Seriously

My experience at Motel 6 Downtown San Diego was the worst I’ve had in over 30 years of travel. It was the dirtiest and most unsanitary hotel I have ever stayed in.

Three years ago, I stayed at this same hotel, and it was very clean. That’s why I booked it again and expected a decent place to stay. I knew I wasn’t checking into a five-star hotel. At around $150 a night, I simply expected a clean room. It didn’t need to be fancy or exceptional. I even knew they didn’t provide shampoo, which was perfectly fine with me.

What I experienced this time was unacceptable. I honestly think the streets outside were cleaner than the hotel’s corridors. I do not recommend staying here at all.

I do want to thank Expedia. They helped me cancel my reservation and processed my refund. Expedia’s customer service did an outstanding job.

Terrible Experience – Avoid This LocationThis motel is poorly managed and located in a very rough area. The surroundings are filthy and unsafe, with a large homeless population loitering directly around the property. During our short stay, the police had to be called multiple times—once on our very first night and again on our last day due to local incidents. Management does absolutely nothing to ensure guest safety or clean up the property. Do not stay here.

While I have stayed at multiple Motel 6 properties, this one has been the worst. Parking had only 19 spots, the area was sketchy.

The person at the front desk was very accommodating, so that's the only good thing to say about this property.

Check in process was fast, the staff was friendly & helpful. The overall stay was horrible though! The hallway leading to the room smelt like urine & rotten garage. Once i entered the room it smelt worse than it did in the hallway just with reek of cigarette smoke, the sink was clogged, the shower didn’t have a cold setting, the window couldn’t open more than 3 inches, the AC was full of dust & barely worked . Parking was full & i needed to park in a separate lot which thank god nothing happened. I went to an event at waterfront park which was a 10-15 minute walk. The motel is conveniently close by & the walk there didn’t feel unsafe at all. When getting back to the room around 11:30pm, the room next door & floor above was so noisy. I fell asleep around 12:30am & around 1-2am woke up to alarms ringing . They stayed on for about 20 mins THEN around 7am woke up to nonstop barking. The entire stay was a horrible experience, all rooms were fully booked. I regret i booked a room at this location.

I was not impressed with this establishment aside from the pleasant staff. The rooms were dirty, dirt on the stained floors and on the bed, of which was very uncomfortable. The doors and windows have cracks. There was something on the bathroom walls over the shower. The carpet in the hallways were filthy with stains, oil, gum, the parking lot was littered with trash, broken bottles, and there were homeless people asleep in cars in the parking lot. There were no amenities, ice machine was broken and the hair dryer was not connected to the wall. There were no other amenities that I am aware of besides a bar of soap to wash hands, and nearly not enough towels provided. We had to get our key replaced a few times. For the price we paid, I would have been fine camping. Im sorry, I usually keep things to myself, but staying there really took away from our short getaway.

This motel is located in San Diego, California. It is easily accessible by vehicles or walking. There is a series of rooms located on all floors, with an elevator for those who wish to not take the stairs. My room came complete with a bed and TV. I also enjoyed running water and a toilet. Smoking is prohibited. I found the staff most helpful and courteous. The tenants were also pleasant, for the most part, with the exception of a woman who looked at me with suspicion, as if she thought I was about to attack her.

I honestly think, if I relieved myself in the middle of the room, then it would improve the hygiene levels of the place.

To say that it was dirty would be an understatement. The windows were so dirty that you couldn’t see out of them. The bathroom was so dirty with faucets hanging off, so badly that I refused to use them.

The doors didn’t close, the ceiling was falling down; I dared not touch the TV remote in case I caught something.

The bed linen was from world war 2, I would be surprised if they had been cleaned, definitely hadn’t been ironed. I slept on-top of them as I didn’t want to see what was in the Victorian era bed.

This was not subjected to one room, I did look to change room immediately after seeing my room, and to my amazement the other rooms were equally as bad.

The staff couldn’t understand what my issues were. The reception, lift, communal areas all looked like they had never been cleaned, all covered with stains. I thought it was amusing that there was a spider who had built a web on the front desk, and no one seemed interested.

Come time of check out, the receptionist was asleep on the desk, so I said goodbye and left my room card but there was no response. In hindsight I should have checked to see she was alive and hadn’t succumbed to poisoning from the hotel.

I honestly think I would prefer solidarity confinement in prison than to have to stay in this place again. Easily the worst place I have ever been to or stayed at.
All other hotels were full!

I'm not sure if they even tried to switch the sheets because I got several skin blemishes after only one night of sleeping on the pillow. The night staff was rude and cussed me out. They were arguing with one of the \"transient\" hotel guests and it sounded like they were yelling in my room it was so loud. Neighbors came in and out all night so you can guess the reasons. I could basically see the substance abuse from my room when they stood in the hallways and opened the doors. Oh yeah and the sink water came out so sharply that it sprayed all over the counter until I adjusted it. Makes me think they don't pay the cleaning staff well if there are any

I recently stayed at Motel 6 Downtown San Diego and overall had a good experience. The biggest positives were the staff, who were absolutely wonderful. Yoli, the manager, was exceptional - friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. The gentleman working the night shift was also outstanding and provided excellent customer service.

That said, the property could use some attention. The carpets were extremely dirty, the rooms would benefit from fresh paint and general upkeep, and there was a noticeable foul odor in the hallways and elevator. These issues took away from what otherwise could have been an excellent stay.

For the price, it's still a decent place to stay, especially if you're looking for an affordable option in downtown San Diego. The staff alone almost earned this hotel 5 stars from me. However, because of the property's condition and maintenance issues, I have to give it 4 stars. With some improvements to cleanliness and upkeep, this could easily be a 5-star experience.

For the cleanliness my room wasn’t refreshed I had to ask for a refresh and the comforter had visible burns on them the shower doesn’t have liners it’s just a cloth curtain that leaves alot ways for water on the floor while showering which made me uncomfortable because the floor was very wet the tv in my room was very slow and I didn’t have streaming options for Netflix.

Added those parts in naturally so it flows without sounding like a laundry list of biohazards. Though, tragically, it kind of is one.

The only redeeming quality of this place is its location in the middle of Little Italy. Aside from that, I really wish I had paid more attention to the previous reviews before booking here.

One of the staff members was outright rude, and the parking situation was terrible. Parking is extremely limited, costs an additional $20 per day, and even then, a spot is not guaranteed.

As for the room, the water worked and most of the lights turned on, which unfortunately feels like the bare minimum. The blow dryer didn’t work, the window was broken when we tried to open it for fresh air, and the bathroom light flickered every time it was turned on. The outlets behind the TV also appeared scorched, which honestly made me question how much of the property could be considered a fire hazard.

The overall cleanliness was also concerning. The sheets had visible stains on them, and the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been properly deep cleaned in a long time. The hallways were filthy, with stains all over the floors, and the trash cans had an overwhelming odor as if they hadn’t been cleaned in ages. To top it off, the lobby looked absolutely nothing like the photos online.

Overall, this place felt poorly maintained and nothing close to what was advertised.

Key stopped working about twice daily, had to constantly re-connect to the internet, room was far from clean. I am not picky and I’m usually completely satisfied and comfortable in budget hotels and don’t expect some luxury experience, but this was rough.

The pictures are not it. Its very outdated. I couldn't get the AC to work. Thankfully I was able to open the window. If u dont plan on being at your room much I guess its ok to just sleep. The staff was very nice though. It wasn't very far from the waterfront touristy stuff and little italy. Hope my review helps.

Checking in was no issue until the following morning when my sister in law arrived; I was told when I checked in (multiple times, in front of a manager) that she would just need to show an ID, provide my name and room number to get keys. I asked if I needed to leave her name as I would not be on the property and was told that was not necessary. Only to find out the following morning she had to sit in the courtyard for 2 hours until I was out of a meeting and had to confirm with whoever was checking her in. I was told that whoever checked me in must have been new and in training and when I told her that was not the case she continued to insist that they must have been new. That unfortunately left a very bad taste in my mouth and there was not anything she did to seem apologetic or empathetic.

The room itself was comfortable and we appreciated that there was an interior courtyard to be able to let her dog use the bathroom and that the front doors were locked. It is close to the airport which was the reason we booked here; not sure that I would rebook.

Everything was great Just know that you're going to pay $20 a night for parking my partner also brought her a ride so that's an extra 40 bucks just so you know and it's not guaranteed if you take off that your spot is there other than that everything was fine

Well this particular location is in Downtown San Diego...not really located close to any shops, convenience markets, or any restaurants or fast foods...cleanliness is not high on their priority..rooms on first and second floor are missing window screens..and this area does have many sketchy people walking around at all hours...also internet does not work properly in some rooms..But beds in rooms are comfortable..showers are clean..and rooms are large enough to feel cramped...

The staff was super nice. Parking was easy and affordable. Our room was great for what it was. I was guest of the day and got upgraded to a corner room. The room was basic but did the job. There was a bed, it was pretty comfortable. Make sure to bring your own bathroom hygiene products such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They did supply plenty of towels as well as bars of soap. We did have a minor leak, but we think it was condensation. We informed the front desk at check out and the lady was extremely nice and said she would get maintance to look at it before the next booking. Checking in was super easy and quick. Honestly not a bad location either. Walking distance to little Italy and to the water. Will most likely stay here again. The best Motel 6 I have stayed in.

My fiancée and I stayed 2 nights and didn’t have any issues. Staff were super friendly!
The room was small but had all the necessities and pet friendly which I loved because we had gone to SD to pick up a puppy.

The motel itself is very old and rundown. The homeless and sketchy people camping outside made me feel unsafe most of the time and the parking cost $20 a day. They “assign” you a spot and give you a ticket to put in your dashboard, but when we left and came back on multiple occasions our spot was taken. When asked about it at the front desk the employee stated “idk I just work here, they oversell parking spots all the time”. This was frustrating, although he did offer a refund. Every time you walked in the place smelled like marijuana so if that’s something you don’t care for, be warned. We stayed a week and our rooms were never cleaned, we had to ask the front desk for fresh towels. The shower had good water pressure and the water would get hot. The AC worked well in the rooms thankfully. Can’t complain about the location, it’s very close to the airport as well as many places to eat and things to do. If you’re looking for a budget place to stay and don’t care too much about quality or amenities it’s a solid choice.

Parking was horrible. Paid for one of the 19 spots at the property to park only to come back from dinner to be told we had to wait until someone left to park. Waited while a couple that did not have a parking pass to move their car after checking in only to find out front desk sold them a “sold out parking pass” and we had no choice but to park blocks away. Parking was refunded but this situation should have never happened in the first place. Front desk was zero help and flat out lied claiming they did not sell that couple a sold out parking pass. Do not recommend this hotel at all.
