I would strongly suggest anybody looking to have an enjoyable visit to San Diego to avoid booking a stay at this property. I ended up staying at the Mission Bay Hotel and resort which all a better value and cleaner. Mission Bay Motel is a dump.

You have to ask for towels. They put all the smoking rooms downstairs and the fumes rise up filling the 2nd floor non smoking with fumes. Location is great. They should tear these down and build a really nice high rise motel

It’s a funky old fashioned motel. Nostalgic of the many places I stayed when traveling in my youth. However, nostalgia doesn’t compensate for the lack of amenities. No AC, just clean enough to fall asleep without feeling creepy crawlies. I’ve stayed several times and would stay again, but it’s just a place to crash for the night.

Best part about this motel is that you can walk to the beach and you don’t have to worry about parking. Not too clean, towels smelled of mold, they didn’t clean my room and TV didn’t work.

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!
