Had to pay $20. for early check in, horrible customer service, the room I was assigned was not ready(unmade bed,dirty towel, they gave me another room. Fridge was not clean,the toilet broke had to be repaired. Homeless loitering and digging in dumpster, prostitutes in front of property loitering. I spent the nights looking out for my car. Still horrible customer service.

it clean, man who checked me in was really nice. it is a older property but seems well maintained but the room did have a old closet smell, nothing a few blasts of fabreeze could not clear up. it is a economy hotel so must put things in perspective.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed a various hotels/motels in the past weeks while searching for a place to rent. National City Motel was by far the worst, and that's saying something. My room wreaked of odor, possibly because at one time it had been a smoking room, which I didn't know still exists, but does at this motel. I could not get really hot water in the shower when I arrived, but somehow did in the morning. The bed did not smell fresh and I found stains on the sheets. This caused nearly non-existent sleeping. The whole place was uncomfortable. I would have left and asked for a refund but your website says my money is not refundable once you confirm. A waste of money which I wish I could recoup with a refund.
