If you want to stay at a dirty, moldy & hooker infested motel this is the place for you!! The room was not ready at 3pm which is the stated check in time on the website. No blankets. Reeked of cigarettes despite being a "non smoking" room. Mold in the bathroom. Shady people appeared to be selling "products". Hookers going in and out of room with no pants (see attached photo). Loud noises throughout the night in a seedy part of town. Do not waste your money at this shit hole motel. read more

The pictures you see on hotel booking sites are fiction. Mildew. Grime. Dirt. Missing caulking in the bathroom. The least of your worries is there is no coffee maker or dvd player. Room 15 is next to the soda machine where an assortment of homeless attempt to get change from the machine all night. There is no safety latch. No toilet paper holder. The are mirrors behind the bed. It's basically a crack motel or a Covid homeless motel. I'm embarrassed at what I paid and the booking agency told me to pound sand. I STRONGLY SUGGEST to search google maps about this property to see the true charm of the surrounding "neighborhood". This place is gross. It's not clean. Anyone who says or shows pictures that appear ok is straight out lying. A bleach bomb may help but it really is worse than that. Just avoid at all costs. read more

It is the worst service you can see, I called one hour before arriving to reserve the room and he gave me a price of $ 75 and when he got there he told me that it was 80 okay I decided to pay it and then he gave me he told me that pay 100 because I have to give you $ 20 as a deposit but you don't want to give me any receipt where I'm paying it on the receipt you want to tell me that I'm only giving you $ 70 I'm telling you that I have an emergency and you told me that you didn't run to me If I wanted to rent, there was no document there, I'm with my children on the street, spending the night because of whether we are well because they didn't want to rent me the room, I have the money and I'm with my children on the street read more

Very basic "lodge"...aka motel. Stayed here for 1 night over the weekend. Got the military rate and saved about 50 bucks. We had clean towels and sheets and comfortable pillows and mattress. The room was clean and spacious. We were barely there though since we were out site-seeing San Diego the whole day. Once we settled in for the evening, we noticed the AC was not in great working conditioned. We had it on full blast and the lowest it would go...and we were still sweating bullets. Also, walls are paper thin, so you may be woken up by suitcases and cleaning carts rolling outside your door early in the morning. Free parking and WiFi. Hotel is close to everything if you want to leave your car and just Uber/Lyft everywhere. But be sure not to leave any valuables in your car...the surroundings were pretty sketch. read more

Your average motel experience made barely tolerable by poor customer service. At first glance, Lodge at 32nd seemed like an unbelievable deal for a group of friends gathering for a weekend. Besides being in a sketchier part of town with an easily missable entrance, we didn't have any complaints... at first. Our room with two queen beds was spacious and looked fairly modern, equipped with a TV, fridge, and microwave, as well as iron and ironing board. On closer look though, other details revealed sloppy work and careless management. Our bathroom door would not shut completely, having to be jammed into to the doorway to stay put, the toilet paper continuously fell off of the holder because it wasn't properly screwed on, and amenities like soap and lotion were haphazardly thrown on the sink. Beyond the bathroom, outlets were awkwardly placed, the beds were extremely uncomfortable with thin bed linens, and the heater did not reach to the opposite side of the room, leaving half of us freezing at night. We knew were were getting a budget experience, but the most frustrating thing was dealing with the managers.While unpacking, my friends heard a scratching noise that seemed to be coming from within the walls - akin to something like a mouse. We dismissed it at first, hoping it was just some rustling from the neighbors, but disturbingly it came again, and again. When we contacted the front desk to notify them of the noise and ask if they had any other rooms, they told us that we were probably imagining things or that it was other guests (as if we hadn't already entertained and ruled out the thought) and that none of the other rooms were available because the cleaner wasn't available (even though it was well past when previous guests were supposed to have checked-out that morning). They also couldn't promise that there would be a room available by the next day. Do they even have cleaning staff? One night of suffering through this room was enough for us to never consider staying here again. read more

1 night stay, booked through Hotels.com Check in: I arrived at about 3:45pm (check in begins at 3pm). I was greeted by a male and was quickly assisted. While I signed papers and provided info, the male asked how my day was going. We had a brief conversation and soon enough I was all checked in. Stay: I was in room 10. There was a King and Queen size bed, there were 4 in my party. The A/C worked great. Nice looking, modern decor. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the bathroom made me uncomfortable, it gave me a sense of dirtyness. The towel rack was unappealing, looked very old and dirty. The closet frame looked damaged and unappealing as well. In addition, very thin walls! I woke up to hearing voices from the room next door. Check out: Average check out time, 11am. A female assisted me. I told her I was checking out. She asked for my name and asked if there was anything wrong with the room, I said there was not. She then took my key card and said I was ready to go. Easy! read more

WHAT I LIKED: + Online price was one of the cheapest*. + Comfortable bed, light blocking curtains, and "fan option" on AC = great sleep**. + Decor was minimal and modern. It was modernimal. + Fridge and microwave- so save your dinner leftovers for a midnight snack. + No charge for parking. + Two sinks (one in bathroom, one out). + Good water pressure. + Freeway close... a $10 Uber ride away to Gaslamp or North Park. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: - Industrial area with nothing to eat or drink within walking distance. - The shower curtain in Room 9 is so thin that water goes through. Save half your towels for the floor afterward. - **Thin walls. Heard some T.V. and some O.O. (sex) WHAT BROUGHT IT DOWN A WHOLE STAR: - *On the morning of my reservation (that I had made months earlier), the guy at the front desk emailed me to say that my debit card did not go through, which I didn't know until I tried to check in at five. Being on the road for eight hours, I did not check my emails. Anyway, he had a room, but wanted to charge $50 more ($149) than my booking price ($99), which is 50% more. I talked him down to $129, but still that sucks. The walls were so thin I'm sure the others heard me get screwed. read more

OK hotel in a less-desirable light-industrial area. Stayed from Sunday through Thursday; the website offers midweek discounts. Most guests seemed to work in the area, so they were quiet. In August, second floor room became hot in the daytime if AC was not used. I left the fan on overnight to muffle noise from aircraft landing in San Diego airport and other city noises. Three minutes' walk from a Taco Bell that closed the seating area at 8 pm but remained open later for drive through. I used Lyft to commute to the Convention Center. read more

There were cockroaches all over the room and what looked alarmingly like a blood stain on the curtain next to the bed. Photos attached. We are not the kind of people who want to make trouble but we expect a certain level of cleanliness even in a basic hotel/motel room and cockroaches in the room are straight up not ok. We felt compelled to write this because others should know before putting themselves in that position. We tried repeatedly to speak to the manager to ask him to make it right and were repeatedly ignored. We explained everything to the staff and they agreed with our concerns, promising that the manager would call us but he never did. We got to the Lodge at 32nd about 9:15pm and had to wait about 30 minutes before the room was ready because it still hadn't been cleaned from the previous night. The clerk at the front desk let us look at a "good room" first which would have been over $200 for the night if we didn't want to wait until our room was clean. We opted to wait because we were already going to be charged $169 for the night. The cleaning staff changed the sheets but didn't do much else. We went in and at around 10:15pm, saw the first cockroach. We killed it (see photo) and immediately went to the front desk to report it to try to see if we could change rooms or even get refunded and leave. The clerk had left for the night, so we were stuck. We were very close to sleeping in our car instead of that room. This lodge is not clean, run by disrespectful and unprofessional people, and immensely overpriced because if they're charging so much for a dirty and shabby room they should DEFINITELY be able to afford extermination and not risk their guests' health. Even giving this place 1 Star seems generous. read more

BED BUGS AND THEY DIDNT CARE!!!! My little sister and brother stayed here for a night and woke up the next morning with bug bites! And when my little brother looked around, he found bed bugs on the bed and sheets!!!! What the f!!!! read more

I stayed here for a short weekend getaway and was fine with everything up until I took a shower. The water temperature was terrible. By barely touching the shower handle, the water temperature goes from cold to scorching hot. After tinkering with the shower handle many, many times, I gave up and had a slightly cold, very quick, shower (That was the best I could get it, which was much better than burning hot). A basic shower is a necessity to a decent hotel stay, so after that shower, I removed a star. Other than the water temperature, the rest of my stay was okay. The parking spaces were terribly cramped just like everyone else mentioned. The check-in was pretty quick and seamless. The inside of the rooms were recently updated and were clean. read more

For the price it was visually nice, at first. We paid for a king size bed. Got a Queen. The beds are hard as rocks. NO hot water. Cleaning people started stomping around up stairs at 5 am. The doors where filthy and no fan in the bathroom but just a window with no screen at street level . Don't get tricked. AC worked. read more

Let's be real! This place is not a Hilton. So I didn't have those expectations. When you pull up it does look a little shady but that's downtown for ya. The room didn't look as nice in person as they do in the pictures but was still decent. Pros: Price Location- 7 mins from Gaslamp Room was clean, old but clean. Shower had really good water pressure. No problems with check in or parking. Only thing negative I could say was that the towels didn't look the cleanest but luckily I always bring my own towels to hotels, so didn't bother me. The walls are very thin so also expect to hear and feel some noise. read more

Stayed here for the night on a weekend trip with friends. It's actually very nice for what you pay for. Clean, spacious, friendly staff. It's all you need when you're just looking for a place to sleep! read more

I have mixed reviews... When we pulled up and saw that the hotel was in a less than clean area of town on the freeway, and pretty dilapidated looking I wanted to cry. The room inside was very clean though. I was impressed. The other drawback was that he charged my debit card a 50$ deposit without informing me first, only letting me know when he handed me a receipt to sign. Apparently this is supposed to be refunded back? Been almost a week and have not seen it... neither has my bank. The staff was very nice though and it was in close proximity to downtown as well as 5 miles from the zoo. I would stay here again if I couldn't afford a downtown hotel. read more

My room was ok, it looked cleaned but the floors were filthy!! It was only a $30 deposit which by the way I did not get back, but it's OK not a big deal I will be coming back. overall experience it's a four out of five. read more

This place is nice if you're looking for a decent place to stay and is not trying to break your bank. I stayed here for $104 a night plus a $50 deposit that will be given back. When you first pull up it looks really shady but it's not. The rooms are clean and nice. They have an AC, flat screen TV with cable, a fridge, a closet area for you to hang your clothes, and a clean bathroom. Also, the bed is very comfy. read more

Horrible Experience before I even got to San Diego... I booked a room a month in advance of SDCC. I booked through their website, and was charged same day. A week before my arrival i receive a confirmation from them letting me know that my room is confirmed. They morning of my departure I call ahead to let them know I will be arriving late at night. They inform me that my booking has been canceled because they accidentally overbooked. I was livid, If I did not call ahead, I would've shown up at 1 am and been turned away. He then tells me one email was sent out and that was the limit of their efforts to inform me. Within days of my arrival, they send me 3 sentences that I had no where to stay for one of the busiest tourist weekends in San Diego! I had to book elsewhere (the day of!) and spent 2.5 times more because of literally last minute booking. There policy states that if we cancel, they need a two week notice, yet they cancel my reservation and screw me over so close to the booking date. I was so upset and but that man I spoke with felt no responsibility HUNG UP on me. Absolutely terrible way to deal with a customer who's trip you almost ripped to shreds. They need to seriously revise their booking system, policies, and basic customer service... He was a very RUDE man. Stay Away read more

Our recent stay this weekend in SD was pleasant enough for me to restart my yelp journey with this review! Although in a sketchy neighborhood, our hotel room (non-smoking) was just right! We were given everything we needed in the clean and modern-ish room: fridge and microwave. Def helped with all our leftovers. haha The restroom was clean and the water pressure was just right (I was told they remodeled everything). yayy for new amenities! A couple of drawers and closet woulda helped but I'm usually too lazy to unpack properly anyways. hahaah no biggie. The location was perfectly tucked in the heart of SD. This helped with our short commutes to the hippiest hippest restaurants/bars around town..AND balboa park! .. Our uber rides were only $10-13. YES PLEASE. The best part was the unbelievable price they offered for this room! It was only $45/night for Friday and Saturday... Whereas a motel 6 would've costed 90-100 that weekend. I was told it was because they are going through rebranding the hotel and haven't had much marketing done yet. They're just trying to get their name out there first. Because they don't have a website up yet, I had to make my reservations over the phone.. which was a little weird but it worked smoothly. AND free parking! AND right off the freeway. hahah Thank you for an awesome stayy! I would recommend to all my friends and family :) read more

We stayed here for 2 nights in June while visiting San Diego. We checked in at around 12 AM, and the clerk was very courteous. Our single-bed room was actually pretty spacious and fairly clean. It came with a fridge and a microwave, perfect for leftovers and water bottles. Since we stayed for weekdays, there weren't many people there, and the room prices were very cheap. The hotel is close to Little Italy, which has a lot of good eats, and Balboa Park. As for the cons - the walls may be a little thin, although we had no problem with it. Also, and I'm not sure if this is normal for a motel, there were no privacy cards to keep the housekeeper from coming in. We had to ask the clerk to let them know. But overall it was a pretty good stay! read more

Hot water didn't work and there was a roach non cust friendy after 2 hours We left and the guy Was sleeping and didnt care

Okay, I was leery at first when I enter the neighborhood, but once I was on property I realized this place was wonderful. It's a hidden gem. It is very safe, accommodating, spaces rooms, and quiet. The staff was friendly and the room was clean with great toiletries and amenities. If I'm in the area again I will have to stay here as the price and location were perfect. read more

We will come back!! Very clean, I'm big on That! Love the location, close to everything (driving). Very quiet, the staff is helpful. I honestly didn't expect it to be as nice as they were in the pics. But overall my boyfriend and I were happy! We will stay here again. read more

3rd time staying here and I'm always satisfied. Clean room, hot shower, cheaper price than most hotels around the area, and nice front desk people. Will keep coming here. read more

I had an amazing comfortable stay here, the rooms were really nice and had nice upgrades. The front desk lady was super friendly. Would def recommend. read more

Cute room! Teal walls and wood floors, heart eyes. The front desk guy is really nice. It looks a little questionable outside, but I love the decor and set up inside the room. Free parking & wifi :) You pay for ice outside. I thought it was funny that he said it fills up two buckets, but you only get one bucket. Hahaha, maybe give bigger ice buckets? Mini fridge was awesome bc it was an actual mini fridge that you could put stuff into and freezer space as well. Not stocked with overpriced little bottles of liquor that, frankly, are always a waste of what could have been useful fridge space. Warning: AC seemed to stop working the next day. We had it the same temp, but the room got kinda stuffy and hot. Water pressure was soo low, hard to wash your hands. There's no drinking water available, either. The vending machine only had soda, which was tough after a night out downtown and we had gone through all our water supply. Still rating five stars bc for the price, location, and friendly front desk guy-- we'll def book here again. read more

I believe I booked this room through Hotels.com. Reviews were above average but when I got there they gave me an "oh by the way" and told me that they just painted a desk, chairs and parts of the bathroom and that the paint is still wet and not to touch. I was like WTF? But I was tired and there weren't many rooms available in the area so I said screw it. The room was extremely basic, not comfortable, there was plastic covering where they painted and nowhere for me to sit and eat my food. Terrible. And you can tell they are cheap because whoever painted the place did a horrible job. Furthermore the place is crawling with shady looking guests. Heavy Motel 6 vibe. In the morning when I checked out I let them know how bad the room was and they offered me nothing to compensate me for my bad experience so I hope this review was worth it. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but this place is a real gem. Located within walking distance to the 32nd/Commercial trolley station, restaurants and shops. Front desk worker ( sorry I forgot your name ) is the nicest guy ever, and rooms here run a bit cheaper than, say, a Doubletree or something similar. Spacious rooms, cable and good free WiFi. Can't ask for much more, and I will definitely return here if I'm ever back in SD! read more

Floor was too dirty. They never clean floor. My wife, my baby and I got a bed bug last night.

With updated rooms, I was fairly impressed with the hotel upon my arrival. Rooms looked recently painted and had nice, simple decor. However, bathrooms are in DIRE need of an upgrade. Shower was in poor shape, sink was very small, and toilet needs to be replaced. The bathroom overall was barebones to say the least. Walls are also paper thin. We were able to hear the TV of the room next to use all night. After going next door to talk to the visitor about it, the TV was simply set to an average/below average volume, so I let it go. Regardless, the noise kept us awake for a good while. To put it simply: nice room, below average bathroom, very thin walls, tiny parking space, no breakfast, all for the price of an above average hotel stay. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. The first thing I noticed was the terrible parking. I mean, you have to really squeeze in. When we entered, I smelled the odd musty smell of roaches and was uncomfortable. The toilet handle was broken and wouldn't flush. The bed didn't have a blanket and was covered in hair and little black dots that could be waste from bedbugs. There was also a used piece of chewing gum on the floor by the bed. I didn't stay and neither should you. read more

I was late at checking in and they were willing to still hold the room for me. They have Nice employees here and the check in time was pretty fast. There is a $50 refundable deposit that was not mentioned online on the TrivaGo app so I'm glad I had that because otherwise if I didn't call I would have lost the room .. so they need to update that part online. Besides that, the room was good for the price . Wasn't dirty or low class . Fair pricing . Deposit $50 room with tax was $68 so with my deposit back in a couple days, it would just be $68! We will we back here! Oh and we got the single King size bed room read more

The manager is rude. Kept telling us to leave when we told him we were getting ready to leave. We get it, dude. We're not welcome.

We stayed here on 4/8/17. The service was really good. Very friendly staff. The room was really clean. Comfortable bed! I would stay again if ever in the San Diego area! read more

Booked this place for Friday night to Saturday over the phone, upon arrival we were already impressed of how new the place look, at check-in...receptionist Tony was friendly and helpful, he was very accommodating.

We definitely will book this place again when we back in San Diego. Thanks Tony for making this booking easy. read more

Came here for a little trip to San Diego with the boys over the weekend. When pulled up was met with a friendly smile from the staff and was quickly checked into our room with no fuss.
