Close to beach and SeaWorld. Plenty of stores nearby. Spacious clean room with comfortable bed. Professional staff and free parking. Hotel room we stayed in needs face-lift.

Mid Mod Value in SD

I needed a convenient, basic overnight stay in SD to move our daughter into San Diego State University. The old school, mid-century SoCal vibes of this place, appealed to me. It was good value for the location. It was spacious, clean, easy to find and get in and out of. Near a ton of shopping, restaurants, etc. Not a very walkable location, but you're a close drive or lyft/uber ride to anything, the universities, downtown, the beach, the malls, etc.
Lorenzo, 1-night trip

Nice place

Older hotel but well maintained. The restaurant was a bit of an issue. Full bar but no bartender. The food was good though. They seemed really understaffed.
Kipp, 2-night trip

Always enjoy my stay here. Nice front desk staff and rooms always clean.

2nd Stay - Safe, Well-Located, and Budget-Friendly

This was our second time staying at The Atwood. I was in town for business, but we also had time to do some sightseeing, including a visit to the zoo. I was pleased with the location—it felt safe and was conveniently close to many of San Diego’s top attractions.

Bitten all over

The people at check in were really nice and helpful but the room was not clean. I got so many bites on me from something. I think they were fleas or bedbugs. Will not stay here again
