The Spotlight on EZ 8 Motel Old Town

Affordable Comfort Near San Diego’s Music Scene

Modern convenience meets classic motel charm at EZ 8 Motel Old Town, a budget-friendly spot just minutes from downtown San Diego. Located on Pacific Highway, this no-frills motel puts you close to the action while providing a quiet retreat once the encore ends. With a seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub, it’s a great place to unwind between shows.

Each room comes with a sitting area, refrigerator, cable TV with HBO, and a private bathroom — all the essentials to rest and recharge. Plus, the Old Town Transit Center is just a five-minute walk away, making it easy to get around the city without a car.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and EZ 8 hits the mark. You’re a short ride from downtown’s biggest music venues and just 10 minutes from San Diego International Airport — perfect for out-of-town music lovers. Late-night rideshare access is simple from this central spot, and the area stays relatively quiet at night, helping you sleep off the setlist. Check-in at 4:00 pm gives you time to settle in before the show, and check-out at 11:00 am lets you sleep in a bit after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget base near music venues
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream concert
  • Couples enjoying a spontaneous music weekend
  • Fans needing a quiet, affordable recovery zone
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who value location over extras

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, your room comes with a fridge for late-night snacks and drinks. You’re within walking distance of Old Town San Diego, where you’ll find everything from taco joints to pubs — many open late. Breakfast spots are nearby too, ideal for a slow morning after a loud night.

Nightlife Options

EZ 8 Motel Old Town is just a quick Uber or trolley ride to the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego’s nightlife hub. Whether you’re into rooftop lounges, dive bars, or live DJ sets, you’ll find it there. Prefer to keep it low-key? Old Town has cozy bars serving up local craft brews and margaritas.

What People Say

Guests rave about the motel’s location and affordability. Many liked the easy access to public transportation, the friendly front desk staff, and the value for money. The pool and hot tub are popular touches after a long day — or night.

Areas for Improvement

This is a budget motel, so don’t expect luxury linens or high-end decor. Some guests mention that the rooms could use a refresh, and noise from the nearby highway can be noticeable. Still, for the price and location, most agree it’s a solid choice.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a simple, well-located, and affordable stay close to San Diego's music venues, EZ 8 Motel Old Town hits all the right notes.

M, Orange County, visiting Pechanga Arena San Diego

Disliked: Front desk attendants were un-informed about all aspects of their own hotel and rude on top of it. They did not want to help any of their guests whatsoever and called me by the wrong name for the entire stay even after correcting them.

Comfortable enough place for that...

Liked: Very close to the airport and, parks and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful when I faced some issues and everything resolved quickly.
Disliked: It would be great to have access to coffee machine and stuff like that, I understand that because the low income people that sometimes stay here, it’s hard to have them in the rooms but maybe in the laundry room or something

Disappointing

Liked: It was clean . Nice staff and they don’t charge deposit.
Disliked: Rooms need some work. Rusty fixtures and damage bathroom door. Parking is also tight . Overpriced for 155 should be more like 50-60 per night. Motel 6 is a better choice.
