The good thing is closeness to San Diego State. This is a motel but the rate is similar to the hotel room. The building is somewhat remodeled/refreshed however the room I stayed is dark, dated and smelly. The carpets are dirty, furniture is old, the refrigerator is so loud it is hard to sleep. The bed was ok but the linens are warn out and grayish. In wall AC works ok but loud too. The fan in the bathroom is so loud and rattling I was afraid to turn it on worrying it will fall out. I did not used the kitchenette, the dishes were odd and not looking well. The sink was blocked. Breakfast is very basic (bread, bagels, oatmeal and cereal), hard boiled eggs and waffle maker. Hardly any toppings. Items often run out and there wasn't much service to replenish. Front desk personnel feels indifferent to customer service.
