The Spotlight on Americas Best Value Inn Loma Lodge

Affordable Comfort Near the Music and the Beach

Modern convenience meets classic motel charm at Americas Best Value Inn Loma Lodge. Located in the laid-back Point Loma area, this no-frills spot is just an 8-minute drive from San Diego International Airport and within easy reach of the city's vibrant live music scene. With a relaxed, retro vibe, clean rooms, and an outdoor pool, it’s perfect for travelers looking for a simple, comfortable stay after a big night out.

Each room features essentials like satellite TV with HBO, air conditioning, and a work desk. It's a smart pick for music lovers who want to stay close to the action without blowing their budget.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a 10-minute drive from central San Diego venues and nightlife hotspots, while the San Diego Old Town Transportation Center is only a mile away—great for hopping on public transport or catching a rideshare. Rooms are set back enough to offer a quieter night's rest after a concert, and with a check-in time of 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s enough flexibility to sleep in a bit the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base close to the action
  • Solo travelers seeing a must-see artist on tour
  • Couples pairing a show with a beachy weekend getaway
  • Fans who need a quiet crash pad after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers saving more for merch and drinks

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel is close to Old Town, which is packed with eateries open late, from taco joints to casual pubs. Breakfast isn't served on-site, but nearby diners and coffee shops make it easy to grab a bite the morning after.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but you’re just minutes from downtown San Diego’s buzzing nightlife, including bars, lounges, and live music spots. If you’re looking to wind down, Old Town’s quieter watering holes and local brews are a short drive or walk away.

What People Say

Guests love the low prices and convenient location—especially its proximity to Old Town, the airport, and major attractions. Many reviews mention the friendly staff and the clean, simple rooms. The outdoor pool gets a thumbs-up too, especially on warm San Diego days.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms are a bit dated, and you may hear some street noise due to its location. There’s no elevator, so consider requesting a ground-floor room if stairs are a concern. But for the price, most say it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in San Diego and want an affordable, no-fuss place to crash nearby, Americas Best Value Inn Loma Lodge hits the right notes.

Don’t stay here!!

Liked: Location
Disliked: This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The beds were like old cots – noisy and uncomfortable. The sheets were dirty and full of hair, clearly not cleaned before our stay. The bathroom was also filthy. We paid $145, which would’ve been fine if the place was at least clean, but it wasn’t. I’ve stayed in motels for less that were much cleaner than this.To make things worse, the woman who checked us in was extremely rude and aggressive. When I told her she should be more polite, she answered, “No, I don’t have to be polite.” Unbelievable. The young lady working the next day was kind and helpful, but by then the damage was done.Lesson learned – never coming back and I do not recommend this place to anyone

Bad

Disliked: The worst place we've ever stayed.It's a disgrace that Booking.com works with a hotel like this.The room was old, stuffy, unclean, and had a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was extremely weak.But the worst part – we couldn’t sleep at all. The room faces a main road, and the noise from cars and planes was so loud it literally shook the room. It was unbearable throughout the entire night.The walls are paper-thin, and the windows have no sound insulation whatsoever.We arrived late and asked to switch rooms, but the staff were completely unhelpful and showed no willingness to assist.Sadly, this was a terrible experience. We will never return.Honestly, you'd be better off sleeping on the sidewalk.

Perfect for a couple nights.

Liked: Definitely worth what I paid for. Obviously not the most extravagant stay but for a couple days it was perfect. Close to a lot of the places I wanted to visit in SD. Friendly staff and the room was pretty clean upon arrival :)
Disliked: Parking got full one of the nights and had to park on the residential street but other than that it was pretty decent.

Disliked: They asked me for a deposit on my arrival.They said I would get it back when I check out but when I checked out they said I would get the deposit within 3 days.I’m still waiting for it. I complained but I got no answer.

Felt uneasy with the guests...

Liked: Location near everything
Disliked: Run down, dirty, spider in my room, toilet poop stains, guests next to me were loud and obviously they are used as motel rates with motel guests.
