To start off the parking lot is really confusing to get to and if you make a wrong turn you are back on the freeway. I had to go back to get my keys remade and then only 1 worked. The lobby was locked when I checked in at the window at 11pm while I waited for the staff to check me in a homeless man stood next to me trying to find out if I was traveling alone, he then followed me to my car until I got in and locked the doors. The sheets were dirty and the overall quality of the room were not good. Then during the night we could hear people yelling outside the door well after midnight. When I looked around in the light of day there was a big homeless camp right across the street. I did not feel safe and even thought I had 1 more night prepaid, I left for another hotel.

Property was very clean though shabby/aged. It is walkable to Balboa Park and Gaslight area. Close to City College tram station. Not many dining/eating places around but a McD's (in an emergency) about 500m up the road. There was a microwave but no plates or cutlery. Staff friendly.
