Guest reviews for Motel 6 San Diego Downtown

Pros: This hotel was walking distance to Little Italy and a short Uber/ Lyft ride to Gaslamp. It was also right off of the freeway and I couldn't hear the traffic. Everything was clean with the exception of our room floor. That could've used a sweep. The decor is pretty modern and not outdated by decades. Overall a good place for a budget stay. They have at least 30 stalls for free parking. I will probably stay there again because of the price and location. Cons: You have to pay for shampoo or bring your own. Homeless outside, not sleeping but walking around. In some areas you could really smell the cigarette smell but not in my room. Unswept floor that night.

The location is fantastic for anyone looking to stay in downtown SD. You're not far from night life at all and the beach is a 10 minute walk. The only downside would be that the restroom did not have any shampoo or body wash and we forgot ours.

Good location but you pay for what you get. High noise levels outside and few amenities.

I would stay here, again, but I would definitely ask for a room that either doesn't face the street or one that faces 2nd Ave. instead of 1st Ave. All night long, I kept waking up to the sounds of loud, speeding cars driving down 1st Ave. and coming off of the highway off ramp. Also, I would recommend either adding an iron to the room or at least a hair dryer. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

The main issue was the hotel key to the room, I had gotten 2 keys in case my niece wanted one. The key wouldn’t let us in Saturday or Sunday which was frustrating because we were there since Thursday.

Dirty, mattress was thin and on wood stilts

I saw the room and left and demanded a refund. Bed is on stilts, parking was super tight and not enough to accommodate guest as they allow public to park there as well. Ghetto, don't bother going there

Not so bad despite the reviews

Location: Location was perfect. Everything was within walking distance provided and taking public transit wasn't necessary.
The room was small but perfect for 1 - 2 people. It was clean and comfortable. The only issue was that I paid for the upgraded wifi so I could work on business matters but the connection was spotty and eventually I gave up trying. I was only out $5 but I needed to get work done while in my room and that didn't happen.
