It was good. Close to the beach, to restaurants, to shops. All in walking distance. Will definitely stay there again.
Checked in 3 hours early and they had our room nice and clean. The owner was super helpful. Her staff was amazing! Only a few blocks away from the beach. We only stayed one night, but very nice.
You get what you pay for.
No remote for the TV in the room. No that was useless. Asked for one and none ever came,
Staff is very friendly!
Bed only has a sheet, no blanket. Very thin pillows.
No air conditioning, which I didn’t know when I booked. It was a very stuffy night!
Road noise it very apparent but - the price of the room cannot be beat. Great place for 20-something year olds to stay affordable and have a great time.
Great location—literally just a block from the beach! The property was clean, comfortable, and within walking distance to everything we needed. Staying here made our time in San Diego even better, especially since it was so reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

The new owners just took over the property 2 weeks ago but they are very customer oriented. The location is a 9.5, one block from the beach
Bike rentals across the street and an amazing price.
Amazing location in San Diego—this place really delivers if you want to be close to everything. It’s definitely a no-frills motel, but it’s clean and comfortable, which is exactly what we needed. The walking distance to shops, food, and the beach made the stay super convenient. Honestly, we spent most of our time out enjoying the beach and San Diego rather than being in the room, and this was the perfect base for that. Would stay again for the location alone,

Under brand new management, totally working on the place, but got a ways to go. I will certainly try them again next trip! Very personably staff willing to help with anything
You really can’t beat the location here. It’s great if your plan is to be out exploring San Diego rather than spending time in a hotel room. The property itself is simple and provides the basics, but it is clean and well-kept. Everything is within walking distance - restaurants, shops and best yet is the beach is literally a block away. Would definitely stay here again for the convenience alone.
Stayed at Mission Beach Motel and it’s all about the location—absolutely unbeatable. You’re within walking distance to pretty much everything, which made exploring San Diego effortless.
The place itself is no-frills, but it’s clean and comfortable, which is really all you need when you’re spending most of your time out enjoying the beach and the city.
If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t it—but if you want a simple, well-located spot to crash while you enjoy San Diego, it does the job perfectly.
Great value for the location. The motel is in an excellent spot with convenient access to shops, restaurants, and beachside bars. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for the price. The rooms are older but very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Late-night check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, an affordable stay in a great location, definitely worth it. Will come back again next month. One last thing Danny was very helpful throughout our stay.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mission Bay Motel , and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly and welcoming, making check-in quick and easy. The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the cozy bed and quiet atmosphere, which made for a great night's rest.If you're looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend [Motel Name]. I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future trips!

Lucky customer #1 to schedule with the new owners apparently. Cheap, close to the beach is what we saw to book. Danny was friendly and helpful with what he could, some items were out of his control for the night. Will try again once things settle down.

The best thing about this stay was the location. Couldn’t have been more perfect for the quick walk to the beach and surrounding food and drink. The room was not perfectly clean, had a bit of a smell when walking into the room, a few hairs in the sheets but the bathroom was spotless. The tv was not working properly, it would freeze after a minute of being on. Only being here a night, it was a good stay. I was only here to spend time at the beach, so I was satisfied. Staff was very nice and accommodating.
This motel is a solid hole in the wall to rest your head. It is nothing to write home about and if you’re looking for a more quality experience I’d definitely go elsewhere. But it’s right by the beach and it was quiet to stay at. It served its purpose and be sure to ask for an extra fan. There’s no AC.

TV not hooked up in room. They charge $10 for parking. I found this out when checking in. For a one night stay they charged $20 + tax for parking - $10 for the day of check in and $10 for the day we checked out. This was not disclosed in the Expedia listing.
Had to wait 30-40 minutes for our room. Room was nothing like listed as in the images. There was no A/C we had a fan. Room smelled like mildew. Very outdated.
Front desk staff were helpful and friendly and the location of the property is great if you’re interested in going to the beach or checking out the local bars scene so no complaints there. The biggest reason for the low review was based solely on the state of the rooms, old, bare, and in need of a deep clean. I was actually told that they just switched management so maybe in the distant future I’ll give this place another try and hope that some updates have been made at that point. Considering the low price point, there is still some value staying here depending on your level of expectations.
Room was not ready. They said they would upgrade me but the room was with more beds less space it was for only one person. Requested for my original room and they said they didn't have any until an hour
Worse place I ever seen super duty they give us 2 bedrooms that were unfinished and nails coming out the cabinets in the bathroom duty curtains with dust and webs and smell absolutely disgusting, we ask for a full refund because we didn’t wanna stay and only refund one room this was absolutely disgusting
