This place is in a great location for walking to many restaurants, bars and the beach. If you are going to San Diego to hang out in a hotel / motel room, this is not your place. You cannot beat the price and location.

Great value for the location. The motel is in an excellent spot with convenient access to shops, restaurants, and beachside bars. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for the price. The rooms are older but very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Late-night check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, an affordable stay in a great location, definitely worth it. Will come back again next month. One last thing Danny was very helpful throughout our stay.

This place has wonderful service. The receptionist, Claudio and ridge, are excellent bartenders who keep us laughing while we wait for our room to be ready. The room was comfortable, and they always keep us laughing.

A budget motel very close to the beach. There are many good restaurants nearby that are still accessible on foot. I like the swimming pool. Staff are attentive and prompt. We always stay at Mission Bay Motel when in San Diego.

Yes, this is our happiest place on earth. I adore this place. I am happy here. We check in, and the staff is incredibly friendly. We stop by for smoothies and then stroll along the beach. The location is unrivaled. There are many wonderful locations easily accessible on foot. We enjoy the shops and eateries directly across the street. The motel is spotless, comfy, and perfectly perfect.

Hotels and motels in the pub area are quite expensive. I only learned this the last time I was in the area as I walked past it. They are not listed on booking websites and phone reservations are made. I had previously stayed at a couple of other motels just a 5-minute walk from here for over $100 more per night, so this was a good deal! The location is across the beach and close to all bars and restaurants. Slightly older motel with a musty smoke odor in the room, but the room was clean, weighing well, and the free parking was a good deal. Would love to come back here again if in the area.

The location is worth everything but is a very basic room. I was pleased to see an updated bathroom but lacks other amenities like a refrigerator, microwave or temperature regulation. It was very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was confused why I was charged for parking on top of the deposit that I am still waiting to be returned. Overall, it was pleasant for a quick 2 day beach bum trip. One block from the boardwalk, restaurant, bars and ocean. I would.come back just for the ease of location, parking and affordable price.

Dumpy staff, dirty property, didn't get any accoutrements like ice bucket, toilet paper, or clean sheets, loud area and neighbors(buy ear plugs) but still giving 4 stars as it's the cheapest motel in OB right across from the beach and down the street Garnett with all the nightlife. Park your car and walk around and enjoy SD beaches and life...

This is an older motel. You’ll get a clean room, working shower with a great location. Not fancy, not high end. Staff was nice and it was perfect for what we needed.

As soon as we parked, housekeeping occidentally dropped a load of towels and bedsheets onto our car. It’s a motel - so, it did the job. However, it was quite dusty and outdated. Definitely could use some TLC. The beds were clean and it was vacuumed. We were only there to sleep so we did not mind. Will only come back in a pinch.

It was good. Close to the beach, to restaurants, to shops. All in walking distance. Will definitely stay there again.

The new owners just took over the property 2 weeks ago but they are very customer oriented. The location is a 9.5, one block from the beach Bike rentals across the street and an amazing price.

The facility is pretty old but it definitely delivers what it promises. The position is very good, it’s close to everything you need.

Checked in 3 hours early and they had our room nice and clean. The owner was super helpful. Her staff was amazing! Only a few blocks away from the beach. We only stayed one night, but very nice.
