“For budget-minded travelers, Motel 6's downtown San Diego location puts guests within walking distance of many dining options and a short trolley ride from the Gaslamp Quarter. While the no-frills accommodations focus on affordability, the 24-hour front desk and on-site laundry add convenience. I think this hotel is a practical base for exploring the city's main attractions.”
