Great location, not so nice accommodations!
My husband, daughter, granddaughter and myself spent two nights at the Padre Trails Inn in San Diego. After reading the prior reviews I felt this place would serve our needs nicely. Let me say the people at the front desk are very nice, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a very nice feature. The pool was decent and pretty clean. Now to our room #143. The room was very, very tired, old looking and dirty. Sticky stuff on the dresser, carpets extremely dirty, mold on the back side of the tub mat. Bathroom window screen filthly. When something is this dirty you wonder if it was cleaned after the last guest. My granddaughter was walking barefoot on the carpet and her feet were black in a matter of minutes. After that we were all wearing shoes inside and flip flops in the shower. Mattresses old, tired and uncomfortable. Sheets and towels so thin you could see through them. 
Now the good stuff. The location is awesome. Across the street from Old Town, a couple of blocks from the Red Trolley and buses. We stayed here so we could use the public transit to go to Seaworld. That worked out great. It is unfortunate that this place is so run down. Being so close to all the neat stuff it could be a gold mine if updated and cleaned up. They seemed to be booked full so I guess there is no need for them to put any money into the place. So sad! We would not stay there again but would look for other accommodations.
