I loved Motels location, everything was in walking distance. Motel was doable for stay. Only downfall was it had an old smell. The area did not have any hotels, more like Hostels, Beach dorm like and cottages. Overall I was pleased with my stay and with the helpful staff. I’d definitely come back.

The new owners just took over the property 2 weeks ago but they are very customer oriented. The location is a 9.5, one block from the beach Bike rentals across the street and an amazing price.

This is an older motel. You’ll get a clean room, working shower with a great location. Not fancy, not high end. Staff was nice and it was perfect for what we needed.

This place is in a great location for walking to many restaurants, bars and the beach. If you are going to San Diego to hang out in a hotel / motel room, this is not your place. You cannot beat the price and location.

Great location—literally just a block from the beach! The property was clean, comfortable, and within walking distance to everything we needed. Staying here made our time in San Diego even better, especially since it was so reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

Dumpy staff, dirty property, didn't get any accoutrements like ice bucket, toilet paper, or clean sheets, loud area and neighbors(buy ear plugs) but still giving 4 stars as it's the cheapest motel in OB right across from the beach and down the street Garnett with all the nightlife. Park your car and walk around and enjoy SD beaches and life...

Amazing location in San Diego—this place really delivers if you want to be close to everything. It’s definitely a no-frills motel, but it’s clean and comfortable, which is exactly what we needed. The walking distance to shops, food, and the beach made the stay super convenient. Honestly, we spent most of our time out enjoying the beach and San Diego rather than being in the room, and this was the perfect base for that. Would stay again for the location alone,

It’s adequate for a night or two if you must be right there. If you are a surfer, it’s a perfect location. Rooms have no air conditioning which matters in the afternoon only on most days. If you need to be there and your budget is tight then it’s fine. If you want to enjoy your lodging, pick another place.

You really can’t beat the location here. It’s great if your plan is to be out exploring San Diego rather than spending time in a hotel room. The property itself is simple and provides the basics, but it is clean and well-kept. Everything is within walking distance - restaurants, shops and best yet is the beach is literally a block away. Would definitely stay here again for the convenience alone.
