This property is ideally situated as its close to the airport and a few blocks from the waterfront. Unfortunately, the property is also situated directly beneath the landing flight path into San Diego airport so jet engine noise at possibly 500 feet is constant. Some rooms are renovated and others are undergoing renovation (October 2012). Hopefully the undercover police raid... More

Stayed here as arrived late. At first was shocked becaude of the loudness of planes coming in to the airport. However this stopped after 11 pm. Rooms were clean and ok for one night. Breakfast was nice at the Dennys which is about 200mm further south on Pacific. Next time would probably look for another place.

Airplanes are landing and are at about 50 to 100 feet above the motel and there trains passing by at all hours. The pool is nasty looking and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a few days. If you like the noise stay. But, if your not a noise person stay away. Pro is it's about 4 mi from... More

We were in San Diego for a day and a half of sightseeing. It turned out to be a great jumping off point- walking distance to the harbor, Little Italy, and a very convenient drive to Balboa Park and Sea World. Our room had the potential to be charming, but somehow fell short into shabby. It was very big, and... More

My boss booked this room for a conference I attended, and I thought it was going to be awful, but it was good. Clean and simple, and the pool wasn't too bad either. Great if you are looking for a cheap place in the downtown.

Very nice staff. Early check in. Cannot believe I paid $70 total for one night in a place with such poor quality rooms. OK, the bed, sink, toilet, tub were clean, but nothing else was. Very old and very ratty condition. Nothing around you except a strip club, car rentals, and a joke of a Shell Food Mart. HOWEVER, this... More

There is not enough time or space to give all the reasons to avoid this place at all cost. Believe the other reviews because they are correct. For me, it is the second time in a row (the other was several years ago in El Paso, TX) that a Motel 6 turned out to be the opposite of the company's... More

The motel room itself was actually very nice. Recently remodeled. But the location of the motel is TERRIBLE! The airplanes that land at the airport, passes right over the motel, and it's very noisy. Also the train track is located right next to the motel, and the trains "honk the horn" as it passes the motel. On the good side,... More

Long story and an even longer day of travel. Just needed a place to crash for a few hours till my flight home to Phoenix. I've been to SD many many times before and new of this Motel 6, called, the receptionist was great, told me what he had left. Now it was late so my choices were very limited.... More
