My stay at Hotel Aqua Mar was good. It was cleaner and in better condition than I anticipated. It is definitely not a luxury hotel, but it provided all the amenities you would need such as a mini-fridge, coffee maker. It is close to the harbor which is nice. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but I have slept on worse. The room is on a main street, so the morning is a bit noisy. The hotel is good for the value. I will stay here again.

It's a great location for getting to Shelter Island or Point Loma/beaches. The street it's on is a traffic nightmare. There's a coffee shop right next door, which is nice. The room is what you'd expect for the price. It seemed clean except there was a weird burnt piece of plastic on the bathroom floor. I couldnt wait to leave in the morning, but it's fine if you just need a bed for the night.

Nice motel. Decent experience. First night very noisy outside cars people. Bed was extremely hard. Room was clean. Had a odor. Few stores within walking distance. Front desk guy was extremely professional and good vibes.
