No bulb in night stand lamp. Only 2 towels when we said we would have 3 in the room. The upstairs hallway smelled of Pot all the time. No screens on the windows. No towel rod to hang your towel when showering. No hand towel in the bathroom. Motel 6 does a better job on those things. It was a clean place to sleep and we enjoyed our time in San Diego.
