Ok

Bed bugs and roachs I promise to god AVOID!!!!

Nice!

I had a wonderful stay. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. My room was clean, and comfortable. The location was great! with plenty of stuff just a short walk away. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone.

What I like is that it is a simple cozy place. Not much to ask and that's why I like the price. The dislike, near the highway street where certain women walk the night and day street if you know what I mean.

There was roaches in my room and they said no refund and it’s making you guys look bad for doing business with these people. The manager tried to blame me for “bringing” the roaches but then I see on yelp that I wasn’t the only one who has gone through this. He basically stole $100 from me I couldn’t even sleep after that and on top of that he’s risking me bringing pests into my home once I go home 1 roaches can lay a bunch of eggs. They definitely need a visit from the department of health.

Great staff

The maid is aggressive asf and will bang on your door . If you catch an attitude she will go get the manager and they’ll try to gang up on you . TV did not have service .

ok

Management very helpful and kind

Loud neighbors and i feel as if staff didn't do anything about it

This last time that I went, I saw roaches in the room and they were having problems with the water so we couldn’t shower. They didn’t give us the money back and they just said they’ll give us a discount next time.

Staff is super friendly and accommodating hotel is charming quaint and quiet

TV’s don’t work.

TV didn’t work. Guy working the front desk knew this & didn’t offer any discount on the room & didn't really care.

ok

Good

Old but reliable.

Good, clean, not too busy. The floor was really really warm though

Great customer service and good location. The motel is reasonably priced and decent. We have stayed here before and we have had no problems.

the room too hot and air conditioner make noise

No carpeting in room, cold water in shower & sink ran as hot as the hot water. Room sleeps 2, but there was only 1 wash cloth, 1 hand towel & 1 bath towel. AC was off & room was very hot when arriving, however they knew we were expected because they had everything waiting for us so the room should have been cooled as well. I guess you get what you pay for.

The clearness is poor and the staff is not very friendly. The bedding is very old.

Maid service was excellent, but the office service was not good. Lack of understanding English with one of the office workers.

A safe place to stay while I attended a concert at Petco. The a/c worked great, the place was clean though it did have a slight odor of cigarette smoke. Plenty of parking. I recommend for friends going out and not having to pay the crazy prices of Gaslamp or other downtown hotels. Staff was very friendly.

Location is great, close to San Diego City and the beach. The hotel needs upgrade. Surrounding is also not the best

Hotel room is fine, however the shower curtain let a lot of water onto the bathroom floor, the bathroom door was difficult to close and the smell wasn't great but you get used to it. The surrounding area is okay but seemingly unsafe and has a lot of homeless walking around.

Right when we walked in and turned on the lights cockroaches were on the walls and on the floor. Roaches on the bath towels. We took photos and showed it to the front desk. They went to the room and sprayed Raid to kill the roaches and came back showed us the bottle of Raid and said they are gone now. What a joke! He tired to offer another room but most likely there’s roaches there also. We also notice prostitution going on right out side of the hotel. We tried to get our money back and they wouldn’t give it back and Expedia only gave us $25 out of the $200 for the night that we paid for. I’ll make sure to read reviews before booking again.

Close to downtown

My room had a balcony, and was an 8 minute walk to Zuma beach.

We have stayed at this motel several times and we’ve had no problems whatsoever. The staff is courteous and the motel is decent. We can go to the store and there are several places to eat within wakking distance.

I requested and paid for a non-smoking room, according to the clerk my room was a nonsmoking room. This was not true as soon as we walked in the room smelled like cigarettes, it was a strong smell. For the price that we paid, the experience and expectations were not met.

I shopped online for the best prices. PO no we're in the website does it say that naked woman were going to be working the streets in every corner of the hotel is one thing. Yes 2 doors down a loud party with prostitute having no shame around a 5 and 14 year old boy. I went to San Diego to enjoy the beach not to be disturbed in so many ways. On top of that we get there the TV wasn't working because it wasn't plugged. There was no maintenance on site and they couldn't go e me another room to move to. Also there was blood on the ceilings and there's tick stains or black stains on the sheets I was scared to sleep, that I didn't sleep. I felt like a horrible mother exposing my kids to that and having to pay so much money for a really bad experience. Not a good feeling to have to live when I work so hard to feel less than what I am.

The toilet was very dirty inside, and there were loud, drunk neighbors making a lot of noise.

Upon arrival the person that way at the window for check in stated that there was an additional $20 dollar deposit which was not stated at the time of booking online. I let him know that when booking online it does not let you know about this policy and he just kept says “$20 cash deposit” and completely ignored what I was saying. Inside the motel the sheets were dirty, the towels were dirty, as well as the shower curtain. Would not recommend staying here to anyone.

Outstanding, the clerk was very nice.

Good hotel for 2 days.

bad service, and there are hookers standing around the parking lot.

National City Motel

It was very nice despite the area,there were a couple of prostitutes roaming the area but they didn't harm anyone just trying to make a living ,i would stay again if needed

Was great.

Not a great experience. I understand things happen and they happened to me. A family was said to have left without paying who had stayed in the room my family and I were staying. Food was left in the fridge. An hour in to our stay someone opens our door with a key saying this was their room and wanted to know where their stuff was. Clerical error but not my fault. Poor family was relocated to a different room. I needed an iron... I went to the office to ask for one and the young receptionist gave me one that didn't work. After going back to the office and telling her what happened with the iron, the receptionist instructed me to look for the housekeeping lady since she was around and I should ask her for an iron. Really!?? I should look for the housekeeping lady and ask for a working iron. Common!!! She didn't have the decency of looking for the housekeeping lady herself. Never again will this happen to me. I would not stay here again. The facilities are old and need to be spruced up. My experience was not the best. I'm being generous with my rating for this place.

This motel is horrible. The service is worse than poor. There’s is a lot of prostitutes on the street. Staff is not friendly at all. I asked for a non smoking room and when I opened the room, it smelled like some had been smoking the whole night. When I went to the office to complain, I was told they could not do anything about it. I had to go to a local Walmart to buy Lysol. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place to stay. You’re better off spending a few more dollars and sty at a more decent place. Thanks

No complaints

Booked a basic room, overall experience was good. Can’t complain

Nice and sexy

Decent for the price and location.

Not satisfied at all

Bathroom tub was slippery when I was taking a shower so dangerous I almost fell not enough toilet paper, toilet paper was rough. The drawers is like kinda dirty.

The motel was no frills, but served its purpose as a quick place to rest located near downtown SD at a reasonable price.

Everything was ok

The staff was great but it’s a roach motel. I saw two bugs. The Wi-Fi was great. The area has a lot of street workers but it’s safe. It looks old but overall it was worth the price. $12 dollar Uber to gas lamp and the convention center

We like it

Good

Liked the price Dislike ROACHES!!!

Convenience location. Shopping and restaurants near by.

The mariguana is everywhere. I didn't feel safe. And they give me dirty room. And I ask them to change it. They changed to onther dirty one even the towels not clean. Very bad experience

The smell...

I don't mind the area cause its right off the freeway, but the smell I had when I checked into the room was unbelievable bad. Like the bathroom as full of number 2. Went to the AM/PM a block away and got a can of Glade. Used it all and left the door open for a hour. Never get a ADA Room again.

I had to stay here again, even worse than the last time.

My recent stay

I had a nice, drama-free stay. Friendly, professional staff, clean and quiet room.

Good hotel for the price.

Dirty, everything old

No complaints

Convenient location, friendly staff, clean rooms. Good experience overall!

Good and quiet.

Its not modern motel but its very quiet. I get the most restful night when ever I stay here.

Stayed a week and would return in rhe future

It was an amazing place to stay at, everything nice and organize. Very friendly staff.

My wife and I was discriminated againt by the attendants their. I really liked the young owner ,but the old man is a racist and very rude.

It is perfectly located and easy walking

National City Motel is very reasonable price and perfect location!

You get what you pay for

Front desk wasn’t helpful. And hotel was practically empty but he clustered everyone together so I had constant noise above me. There was dried blood on the bathroom Floor. Light switch plates were filthy. Just to name a few shady things about the place.

Wow

It was a terrible experience because i was told i wasn't going to he able to check in. The man behind the desk said the system wouldn't let him because i was red flagged. He did not tell me why i was red flagged.

Love the owners

Respectful staff

It has alwsys been a pleasure to stay here.I have been coming here for years.

I didn't like that the tv didn't work and someone left a coffee mug in there

A

The person running the property was nice. I didn't have a lot of interaction with him, but he seemed like nice guy. The proerty itself was fine. But the area around it was super sketchy, with hookers and their pimps working a few of the streets on and very close to the property. I'd never bring my family to stay there. Especially young childrenm Ever! The room itself is small and the water comes out at a trickle. I won't stay there again, unless I bring body armor and they improve water pressure. Good luck with that.

Little shady but a lot of police force shown. No water pressure.

Horrible and avoid at any cost

Bathroom flush was not working reported the problem. Was told issue resolved and it stopped working after few hours. We were told they are sold out and can’t change the room. We needed up using nearby Starbucks for restroom. Horrible stay away from the spot

It was the most disgusting Motel I have ever seen. Human hair on the bed, dead flies on the bed, yellow stains on the pillow cases, burn marks and holes in the mattress and sheets. This was all noticed within the first 5 minutes of walking into the room. Immediately came to the front counter and asked for a refund which they denied and refused to work with me even after seeing the photos I had taken. This Motel needs to be content

Parking was convenient.

The listing is spot on. It took looked just like the pics.it is literally a 1-2 minute drive from the highway but couldn't hear any noise from inside. Very easy driving access to most all attractions within 10-35 minutes depending on traffic. A good pizza place just a block down. Felt safe walking to it and parking our polestar in the hotel lot.

I like the convenience of the parking lot.

very dirty

Location

It is a tired motel, but was adequate for my needs - which was just a place to sleep then move on.

For the price we paid, it was a decent stay at the motel. The AC in our room was barley working, and the wooden frame behind the bed needs a deep clean.

Provided what I needed at that time.

It is a No frills no thrills kind of place but it was quiet and not too far from the trolley station and freeway. Staff was friendly (owner remembered me ten years ago).

very quiet unless unruly children are there. I felt safe there.

There’s a ton of entertainment walking down the street around this place. If you’re traveling for business or military and need some company, then this is the place to stay. There’s a nice food court across the street to the south as well. I was going to grab a bite when I bumped into a couple of very friendly people who really made my night. I highly recommend this place and I’ll almost definitely stay here again. I just wish I’d taken advantage of the entertainment earlier. I had lots of opportunities but I was busy with work so I didn’t do much until the last night. That made the whole stay totally worth it!

Es una cas de citas , tiene 24 habitaciones y en todas se ejerce la prostitucion , estuve cuatro noches y las prostitutas trabajan en esa misma esquina y trabajan en las habitaciones del motel , se escucha todo ,discuten a altas horas de la madrugada y apesta a marihuana.de las cuatro noches solo tres nos limpiaron la habitación y por supuesto lo de limpiar es una broma ,es una verguenza que expedia tenga hoteles como este para la familia

Not bad. Got the job done!

I notice many who gave bad reviews complained about the customer service and “rudeness”. Attendant was to-the-point and direct. Not emotional one way or the other. Got me checked in and checked out, respectfully. Hotel room was clean and comfortable, and wasn’t too smelly even though it was a”smoking” room.

This Motel is very good for the price and the location. The staff was Ok, not very nice but not rude. Beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. We only had an issue the first day we arrive we noticed that our car was full of food, maybe another costumer did it but we did not like that at all. Overall the place is ok to stay, its a little bit noisy but for just sleeping its good and convinient

There were prostitutes walking up and down the street next to the hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. Overall, I was happy and had no other issues. For the price, I would still recommend.

There is hair on the pillows. There are stains on the sheets and bed. We are abandoning the hotel and asking for a full refund!!!

I like everything

Everything

This property was great for a low rate and a one night stay. I’m grateful that I was able to book while other locations are $30-$40 dollars more. My only issue is we were in a smoking room and it smelled of cigarettes. The sheets had signs of cigarette burns. Not exactly glamorous but it served its purpose.

Not an area for kids at night. Prostitutes are right around the corner and quality of room is over all bad

Nice place

One night stay. Nice place, quiet, friendly staff. Overall very nice

Very nice clean. The Staff there had a serious outlook. But overall very pleasant. Definitely recommend.
