Okay, this place is within walking distance to bars, restaurants, and the trolley station. The rooms were clean and the maid service was good. Our room had a coffee pot, fridge, and microwave as well as a large pantry if we wanted to store some food.
Parking is $6 a night which was a surprise to me.
The bed was terrible, possibly the stiffest mattress I have ever slept on (including Mexico hotels).
The place is definitely no frills, and the room is poorly insulated. The continental breakfast consisted of two choices-a mini muffin or frosted flakes. That's it. Coffee or milk to drink. Not complaining, it was sufficient to get us started, but I would not consider this a "continental breakfast". However, considering the location I would stay here again-just maybe pack and egg crate pad to soften the terrible bed.

This hotel's convenience to everything in Old Town is it's biggest plus. Price is not bad either. It is a comfortable, no-frills hotel. The king-size bed was comfortable (fitted sheets didn't fit, though), the water pressure in the shower was incredible. After staying in many foreign countries I've come to appreciate this. A privacy wall outside my room made me feel a bit closed in. There is a nice balcony area with tables on the back of the hotel. I found it accidentally. Sanjay at the front desk was very friendly and helpful.

My husband and I stumbled across this place 5 years ago and have been staying ever since. For an older hotel I have no complaints. It has covered parking, which I like and is walking distance to everything including the trolly which can take you practically anywhere you want for about 4 bucks. The rooms are clean, tidy and unintrusive. WE always have a coffee pot for fresh coffee and a refrigerator if requesting one. You are provided with a continental breakfast downstairs, which includes the usual, oj, tea, several cereal brands, and muffins, enough to get your motor going before you start out on the days adventure. The staff personal are all friendly and our host, GM Mr. Sanjay is a very nice person, always ready to help, and smiling all the time. I like the hotel for all its worth, nothing too fancy, no flatscreens (ill bring that to his attention, hee, hee) but just plain nice. WE are not in the rooms for any length of time so it suits our needs perfectly. and just off the highway which is great.

The room was okay, bed good, area great. Nice front desk staff and nice area for exploring. Lots to do around the hotel. The room was dark and forlorn but that was okay, the bed was good and it had a fridge and micro, i think. Great area, Old Town San Diego is awesome. Crazee Burger is stellar, so is Coyote Grill. Too much good food and drink makes for a good trip. Beaches are a short drive. Downtown Gaslamp is epic.
