Too many to list. Tiny room, with no towels or hand soaps in bathrooms in addition, I got charged extra night that I didn't stay after checking out on-time. It's not worth your $$. I wanted to give no star, but I guess the worst score is the one star here! Oh, did I mention the filthy bathroom and service?

The 500 West is located near the San Diego Convention Center which allowed me to stay there and walk to the conference at the convention center. I was able to extend my stay to enjoy the city with the money I saved. The bathrooms are detached from the rooms but private, and I was always able to find a clean one without a problem. The hotel is very clean and the staff friendly and helpful.

I STAYED AT 500 WEST ON 5/1 - 5/3/09 IN ROOM 308. DURING MY STAY I OBSERVED THE FOLLOWING: STAINED CARPETS, STAINED WALLS, DIRTY SHOWERS, DIRTY & OVERFLOWING TOILETS, BATHROOMS WITHOUT ANY TOWELS TO DRY HANDS AFTER WASHING, AND A HORRIBLE DUMPSTER SMELL. FURTHER, ON 5/3/09 I WOKE UP & NOTICED A ROACH CRAWLING ON MY SUITCASE WHICH WAS ...

This hotel... well you get what you pay for. It is in the middle of downtown a stone throw from the amtrak and rail station. Five minutes to the airport. The bathrooms are yes down the hall but the maids are always around and inspecting them routinly. The room is no bigger than a jail cell, but they have excelent high speed internet. In sum. Great location, perfect one night stop or for the penny pencher or those on a very tight budget.

This hotel is right in the middle of everything. I went to San Diego for a conference but couldn't afford the conference hotel at $200/night on my grad student budget. This hotel is actually better located than the conference hotel - an easy walk to downtown and the Gaslight District, Little Italy, the boardwalk along the water, and buses, ...

If you're willing to go down the hall to use the bathroom or take a shower, you cannot go wrong with the 500 West. Those looking to save money will find it a perfectly pleasant, safe hotel that's near everything, for a fraction of the price. It's like a European hostel or dorm, in which you have a bed, wardrobe and desk with TV in your ...

I was definitely nervous after reading some reviews. Had booked here & Hostelling International in Market St - chose this because of restaurant & glad I did! When I checked out HI it was way inferior. Good omen from quiet, safe & clean steps & entrance even at midnight, welcoming lobby with beautiful Christmas tree, awesome marble ...

The rooms are tiny and my window didn't open well. It was also noisy during the night and with my jetlag it was hard to sleep.
The good thing is that it's very cheap, well located and I felt safe there.
The towels were changed daily and the shared bathrooms were clean, so if you don't mind sharing the bathrooms, it's a good ...

They should have given more information on the website. Had I known that they did not provide towels I would have packed my own. Be sure to knock on the bathroomdoors first, there was an embarrassing moment early morning because the key opens the lock if you didn't throw the lock inside the door.
