Not quite what the pictures portrayed

Cons- Dirty dirty carpets. No in room fridge, no microwave, no coffe maker. No coffee even in the lobby. Early check in cost $25. Right next to the tram tracks (noisy). Pros- bed linen clean and bed comfortable, bathroom clean with working hot water. Pool. Close to the bay. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and sight seeing. Nice staff. AC worked. It's one of the cheapest hotels in the area, so if you can ignore a few things then this is the place for you.

The property is not far from little Italy, which was nice. The room was mostly as advertised, there was a jacuzzi bathtub that fit two but there was no shower curtain - room wasn't to bad when water was on the floor in the bathroom. The room had a table, but no chairs, there is a significant gap under the front door so a roach was able to get into the room, but was quickly squashed - a towel was used to keep other pests out while we slept. There is a pool, which we never used, but looked like it was well kept - can't speak to the temperature. Cable TV in the room, and room service is available, but we walked out and about for food - quite a bit of homeless in the area, but nothing aggressive.

Disappointing.

Our room was quite dirty, the carpet was very noticeably crusty and dirty. The lamp in the room was missing the shade and the bathtub required cleaning as there was dirt and stains in the shower. The pool was quite nice and the bed was comfortable but I’m not sure why so many hotels skimp on the pillows. Overall I wouldn’t stay again as I was schedule to stay for a few nights but after arriving to the hotel I had to make other arrangements. The hotel has a similar pricing to other hotels in the area but the quality is no where close. I understand it’s a budget hotel/motel but that doesn’t mean you can’t maintain basic hygiene.

There were younge men begging for money and things in the parking lot when we pulled up. The guy at front desk was not there. Then when he showed up was not nice. The room smelled of mold as soon as we walked in. Then i discovered dirty dipers in the trash can . The beds where hard as a board. Messed up my mom's back because it was so hard. A man I didn't know approched me in the parking lot (did not say who he was) but asked what room I was in. Then he said he was charging me for my service animal. Which by law is not supposed to happen. Even after showing paper work and the law he still charged me. Was very rude about the whole thing. I will never stay here again. Avoid!!!

Very convenient but issues to be addressed.

As a Native San Diegan I was disappointed at the surprise additional $10 parking fee. Yes, it was 4th of July but each vehicle had a permit on the dash. There was no opportunity to have someone just drive in and fill a space without management noticing. Also the complete fees and expected deposit fees listed by Hotel.com did not match. nor was there a notice of additional parking fee in their listing. This is not a good representation of San Diego. Old hotels remodeled are fine, but last minute surprise fees are not. We pride ourselves in being the Finest City and want our visitors to have a memorable visit. The hole in the bathroom door should have been disclosed. Children in the pool at 12:30 a.m. does not make for a restful visit. No hour notice, gate pass or adult supervison notice was noted at the pool site.

Spend an extra $50 and stay somewhere else.

Horrible! The man at the front desk was not friendly at all. He immediately seemed bothered when I first came to the desk. He was slamming things and made me feel very uncomfortable. The A/C unit was not strong enough to cool the room, so I ended up driving to Home Depot to buy a fan just to try to stay cool at night. The room has no mini fridge and not even a bedside lamp. Imagine a new mom with baby formula, wouldn't even have anywhere to store it. Or an elderly person, would have to get out of bed in the dark to find the light switch. This place was just a dump. And the staff were not friendly at all. I'll never be back and I don't recommend this place. I spent 2 nights here, and came home exhausted from not being able to sleep due to the heat in my room. Honestly, there was more negatives about this place, but I just don't have the energy to give this place anymore thought.

We never went to The Pacific!! We got a text from Expedia telling us the Pacific was closed due to renovations and we were booked at Motel 6 Chula Vista. We paid $50. to take us there only to find out we did not have a reservation. So Expedia has our $274. and we have no accommodations. We rebooked through Expedia and Paid again We are now at Town and Country Resort

This place is definitely not worth how much they charge. The room stinks and the bed is terrible. Upon check in we witnessed someone trying to check in but was given the wrong room. Management was unprofessional and berated the customer that they had booked under a third party and handed them a half deflated mattress. We were informed that Peking was an extra charge for this specific weekend because of a “blackout date”. We only spent a few hours here until we had enough. We happily packed up and went to another location. I would never recommend this place.

Cockroaches! and rude staff at front desk

Jasmine at the front desk acted completely annoyed by everyone and everything and seemed to hate her job. She made it abundantly clear to each guest that she took zero joy in serving them. Everyone was an inconvenience to her. The place is dirty and completely unrepresentative of the photos on line. I witnessed her being rude to people calling in, and hanging up on them. The person in line in front of me was cancelling her room due to three large cockroaches in her bathtub. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to stay anywhere else but here. My husband’s comment was “not even when I was young and broke would I even have stayed here on a guys trip” and “I don’t care if you have to pay to get us out of this. We’re leaving.” The hotel should not be allowed to use the photos they have on line because the rooms do NOT look like the photos AT ALL. They look like scenes from movies, where only bad things happen.

The room seemed fine until we noticed tiny cockroaches scurrying around the room and bathroom. My sister woke me up at 3am because she saw them in the bathroom. We had to sleep with the lights and TV on hoping they wouldn't crawl on us or infest our luggage.

Good location but...

The location is very good. It is only 1 block to the Embarcadero (Harbor Dr). There are other hotels in the area but much more money. The room has no mini-fridge and the microwave is in the lobby, not in the room. The room does have an in-room safe and ironing board. My only negative comment is that the room was kinda smelly.

Small but nice hotel

The staff was nice and gave us great restaurant recommendations. The area was nice, the room was ok, the bathroom was terrible. The door to the bathroom would not close unless you kicked it shut. The tub was very slippery and not it good condition, and the vent looks like it has never been cleaned. Other than the bathroom, everything else was great.

On the plus side, comfortable beds, big TV, close to Little Italy and the airport, nice little pool. On the negative side, no mini fridge, ice bucket, glasses, or servicing of the room. Oh, and the bugs in the bathroom were disconcerting. We stayed 3 nights and it was the right price.

The cost of the room was quite high. The room was dated, and not like the photos shown on google. The A/C unit was undersized and had to run a full cooling all the time to keep the room tolerable. It felt nicer outside, but couldn't get a breeze into the room with open windows. No microwave/coffee pot/mini fridge in the room.
