    The doors were not soundproof, so you could hear all the airplanes overhead. For me, it was soothing but was a bit loud. I did see one roach, but it was raining, and the front door does not seal all the way. Could've been a straggler. Plus im an Exterminator so i have a tolerance.

    I like the cost per night especially since i stay at hotels for overnight business. I usually try to pay more for nicer hotels but sometimes they're run down.

    Nothing.

    Not a bad place. The staff was nice, the price was the best I could find. I enjoyed the airplanes landing, it got quiet after midnight. Great for the price

    The hallways were a little less than desirably clean. Graffiti and worn down slightly.

    The location was easy to get to. No charge for parking. Rooms themselves were pleasant enough for the length of stay.

    Industrial and in a high traffic area but the convenience to the airport outweighs this. Smelled strongly of cleaning products (but it was clean!).

    Very conveniently located to the airport and downtown restaurants. We walked to both. We were able to return our car the night before our flight and just walk over to the airport in the morning. The route is well signed, even with construction. The hotel staff was very friendly.

    As I approached the office, some people were standing outside. Since no one greeted me or said they would be right with me, I assumed they were other guests. A late 50s male came inside and called in the female person who was standing outside, she was obese and in slovenly apparel, wearing a shirt which proclaimed herself to be "awesome." At that, I had to disagree Again, neither greeted me. I should say I'm a 60 year old woman, so I wasn't posing any kind of threatening posture or attitude. I have manners and smiled as I approached as well. He had a conversation with this female, muttered under his breath while I stood there with my bags, waiting to be greeted and checked in. I was finally looked at. I had to speak first. Greeted the people, the female didn't acknowledge me at all. I introduced myself, explained I had a reservation I had booked online, for two people. I asked for the procedure to check in the second person, as her plane hadn't landed yet. I was told I must return to the office when she arrived and check her in under my name. As I'm tired and quite unwell, I asked if I could simply leave her name and info. I was told no, I had to return to the office with her, though it would be very late. I asked until what time he would be there. He would not give me any information that was helpful or offer any rudimentary courtesy. This conversation was like pulling teeth. i couldn't account for such a lack of basic professionalism or conversational skills. I had to ask if the office would be open all night and if someone would be there, Just perplexing how people like this choose to work in the hospitality industry. He did say yes but no further information was given. When my friend did arrive, of course there's a different male, who hasn't been informed that a second guest is arriving late. He was quite rude and told her "no guests after ten.

    it's a great location! Little Italy, transit and the harbour. If they could eliminate the need to deal with human check-ins, it would be fine.

    Only the floor... The floor could have been cleaner, but that's surely an easy fix.

    Super helpful and friendly staff. Easy location and short walks to the Bayside attractions. Big open room. I didn't mind the aircraft landing from overhead, it is near the airport.

    Its a cheap motel by an airport, you know what you are getting when you book it. I loved the planes going overhead but could annoy some. Town is 3 or 4 stops on the train. Staff were an odd bunch.

    Really enjoyed my stay at the Motel 6 by the San Diego airport. I was a little nervous to book it after seeing they only had a 2 star rating. But the property very much exceeds a 2 star rating in my mind. The rooms were nice clean the staff was very helpful and friendly and the location is perfect if you’re heading to the airport. I would absolutely stay here again great bang for your buck. Only thing is the airplane noise is a bit loud at night but I imagine this is the case for every property close to the airport. With earplugs in I had a great sleep.
