I was not able to stay in the room. It smelled so bad. It was like someone had been smoking in there nonstop or even smoking meth or something like that. It was absolutely horrible. I could not stay there. The clerk said he could not refund my money. I had to go through Expedia so I need to come to you because that place was horrible.

The images provided of this hotel are very misleading. The property smells like urine and cigarette smoke. The room we were given smelt like a previous smokers room, felt humid and looked like it was given a landlord special. The entry door looked like it could easily be broken open. There were a lot of odd people walking around the parking lot and most of them were chain smoking inside and outside of hotel rooms. It’s a small sketchy-people-filled hotel in the middle of a bunch of well known chain hotels. Not the best place to stay in San Diego if you have small children and family members with asthma. They wouldn’t refund us for our stay when we decided to take our business elsewhere due to these reasons. You’re better off sticking with a well-known hotel chain and paying more per night if you prefer to breathe well and feel safe sleeping at night.

First of all, for whoever might read this DO NOT USE EXPEDIA, they booked me the wrong room and would not offer a partial refund only a cancellation but there was no time to book another room. Hotel Iris , well, you get what you pay for, it's fairly inexpensive and they did accommodate us in a room with disabled parking in front. It was nice to have a mini fridge since the room I booked on Expedia was suppose to have a full kitchen (there are no such rooms at this hotel). Upon entering there was a powerful Clorox smell covering up a moldy smell. The front office smells of mold, too. The board under the bathroom sink is rotten and lots of rust and old molding in the bathroom. The towels they provide are minimal in size and quality. We found one huge cockroach , thankfully more. We had a room close to the street and it was loud from traffic. They power washed the upper level right above us leaving a waterfall over the sidewalk. There is a pool but all the pool furniture is broken or unusable. The jacuzzi is not working. This seems like a very old, not very well maintained property.

The Trap Hotel

Cheapest hotel in the area for a reason. Seems like a lot of the rooms are occupied as housing for drug addicts. First night i was accosted by a woman who was clearly strung out on something. My next door neighbor had random people stopping by the room all day and all night; lots of arguing about "collecting stuff" from them. And to top it all off my room reeked of chlorine that became apparent was used to try and hide the HEAVY smell of cigarette smoke. Burn holes on the curtains as well. If youre on a steep budget, then i guess this is your best best. Free parking which is nice. Other than that I think I'll just save some more money for a better place next time.
