Bay Cities Motel

Cozy little motel with the charm of an old one from the 60’s with the small layout. Parking was free and right under the room. Great place for the price and be away from the huddle and bustle of San Diego.

It’s great for a 2 star. Clean. Bed was good. Shower wasn’t hot. Towels are old. They are rough and more of a gym towel. Property is dark and parking is tight.

It was the worse hotel I have ever been in I checked in and within 20 minutes I left. It was disgustingly dirty. Bathroom was dirty shower curtain was stained mirror was gross. The fridge was so dirty as well. I turned on the ac and dust came out I just couldn’t stay.

Just what we needed

Is a very little room but is enough for sleeping, is not fancy but it was very clean and easy to access, we have a one bed room and was very comfortable, the parking was free and next to our room, and the price was very convenient for what we needed, I was a little expecting after reading the bad reviews but we just needed a place to sleep for the night and this was the best choice, is not a vacation destination but if you just need to rest is a good choice, clean, cozy and comfortable.

The property where the location is at makes sense (you get what you pay for) however I didn’t like that I wasn’t allowed any guests even though I wrote down that I’d be having 2 come over. We almost got to my room and the check in guy yelled from a distance (no guests) that could have ruined my whole weekend. Never again but once again- you get what you pay for.

We travel on a budget alot!

This is a very budget friendly, clean, basic motel decor, cozy room.. Perfect for quick trips, where being in the hotel is to sleep and get gone. Private, off street parking, we always request the small bungalows, they seem more private, and nobody above or below you ;). Nothing fancy by any means, but definitely a good stay for price.. We've stayed many times, to access Silverstrand Beach and the Amphitheater for concerts.. But, we are not in need of "amenities" or in need of newer facilities. Never any issues with unsavory individuals walking around, or feeling "unsafe" or being "on gaurd" that you sometimes get at some motels in the same area and price range.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean. Besides 2 small individually wrapped soap bars, no other toiletries were provided, no hair dryer either. The bath towels are too small. There were only 2 and 2 wash cloths. The towel/mat we used it for the shower floor as it was super slippery. As I looked at pictures when booking the rooms, I noticed that in the pictures there were small refrigerator and microwave but our rooms did not have either nor was their a coffee pot. We also noticed that the fire alarm unit was removed, only the hole and wires were there. We did have a small rectangular table with 1 chair, a TV and a wall AC that worked nicely. The staff was ok. Overall our stay here was just ok. There was nothing special for us to say we would book here again.
