Modern and no-frills, Lodge at 32nd is a budget-friendly motel located just a few miles from downtown San Diego’s biggest attractions. With free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and helpful multilingual staff, it’s a solid base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without draining their wallet.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just under 3.5 miles from major venues like the San Diego Convention Center and the historic Santa Fe Depot, Lodge at 32nd puts you close to the city’s live music scene without being in the thick of nightlife noise.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a simple, shared base
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig
• Couples catching a weekend show and wanting a low-key spot
• Fans who want a quieter place to crash post-concert
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize location and value

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, the hotel features a small snack bar and is within easy reach of local eateries. There’s no 24/7 room service, but you’ll find plenty of late-night food options with a short drive or delivery app. Breakfast isn’t served here, so plan on grabbing a bite at one of the nearby cafes the next morning.

Nightlife Options

The Lodge itself is quiet and low-key, without an on-site bar or music scene—but that’s part of the appeal for many. You're a quick ride from downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, packed with bars, clubs, and lounges offering everything from live music to craft cocktails. It’s easy to hit the town and come back to a peaceful room.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, recently updated rooms, the helpful multilingual staff, and the strong free WiFi. Many reviewers mention the location as a major plus—close to downtown, but without downtown prices. It’s a solid choice for travelers who care more about convenience and cleanliness than fancy extras.

Areas for Improvement

This is a basic motel, so don’t expect luxury amenities. Some guests note the lack of breakfast or in-room coffee makers, and while the area is generally quiet, it's more residential than lively. Parking may be limited during peak times.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, convenient, and affordable place to stay after a concert in San Diego, Lodge at 32nd hits all the right notes.
