Excellent staff, great value for money
We stayed here for 3 nights while in San Diego. It is near the marina, so a bit cheaper than the Gaslamp District. There are plenty of other chain motels in the same area, but we were keen to support a place that was not run by a chain.
The amenities are basic, but clean. Staff are always friendly, and go out of their way to help. Breakfast is fruit, muffins, yoghurt and juice/coffee, held outside in the small courtyard. There are a choice of restaurants all within walking distance in a few different directions.
If you are on a budget this is perfect. It has everything you need, and it was nice to have a break from the usual motel chains. There aren't a lot of extra trimmings but it is definitely great value for money
