I live in San Diego and work in Santa Monica during the week and use different services and reviews to choose where I will stay for the week. I have to say that the Mission Hotel is the best deal in town! The rooms are clean and the towels are fluffy and clean looking and smelling. The room is equipped with a microwave and a refrigerator, The place is quaint and very quiet. It's easily accessible from the freeways and actually very safe. There are alot of Cops visible at any given time because the main station is very close. So you might get the idea that there's alot of police activity in the immediate area, but they are just being dispatched from there.I think you will be pleseantly surprised. The manager inspects every room himself on a daily basis to see that everything is in order. I will definitely be back here on a frequent basis.
