To avoid generally expensive hotel rates in San Diego, the downtown Motel 6 is a good choice for those on a budget. The whole hotel was recently renovated, and looks great. Good bed, flat screen TV, excellent lighting, lots of electrical outlets, double-pane windows to keep out street noise and WiFi ($2.99 a day). I liked it. more

Great downtown location. Close to Gas Lamp district, Little Italy, the trolley, and San Diego Harbor. Clean, fresh, modern rooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Free parking. And all at a great price. When you are in San Diego you don't stay in your room anyway, there is so much to do. So it won't matter if the room is a little... more

I booked expecting 2 beds as I saw when I selected remodeled/remarkable. It also states that you can sleep 3-4 people which is totally not the case. The small room was malodorous, with cockroaches and expensive. My girlfriend and I were forced to sleep together. There is no toilet lid, shampoo or hairdryer. The location is good and there is... more

This has got to be one of the only hotels in downtown that give you free parking. The rooms were clean, but the modern decor coupled... more

It is located a few minutes walk from the gas lamps or italian districts and I could not have found a better location. When we arrived it was fully booked... more

perfect for downtown San Diego. one of the best motel 6 I have been to. There's a laundry near the reception. Quite useful! Go there if you want to stay downtown more

Stayed here for 4 nights, clean rooms, never any trouble with noise and a short walk to gas lamp little italy. Bus stop just outside motel & plenty parking. There are a few homeless sleeping nearby (USA sort out your health care) so if you were a bit paranoid this may bother you. However didn't bother me, especially after 'cask... more

Three stays over a five week period for business. All I needed was a room to clean-up in, the internet and a place to sleep. I found that the Downtown Motel 6 not only provided the basics I needed, but had free parking (for an oversize truck) and was located within easy walking distance of downtown San Diego.
