Value is good. I did not feel unsafe or that the room was not clean etc., I was on the 3rd floor. They let us check in early. The common area is not great, it is a pretty outdated design, but it was half the cost of the other hotel and 7 min from Gaslamp, but in a very industrial area....To be clear, there is nothing in the immediate vicinity, other than the 5 fwy, so if you are not driving or willing to Uber, that could be a problem......The parking lot was quite adequate, not sure about the other reviews that had an issue....they must be bad parkers with large vehicles......
