We had a wonderful stay, the attendant up front was so friendly - my son really enjoyed talking with him. The hotel patio is lovely, the room was very comfortable. I would definitely stay again the next time I’m in San Diego - walking distance to great coffee shops, restaurants, and beautiful Little Italy. <3 P.S. Parking wasn’t that difficult to find even though the hotel doesn’t have a lot!

We booked the King Deluxe Room with restroom. Make sure you look at the room you book, as some rooms do not have attached restrooms and are communal. Hotel itself was cute, def a vibe. Room was clean, staff were present and friendly at the front, ac and water worked great. Parking is a doozy. Street only or paid lot parking can definitely be a hassle, but if you land a great spot, it's totally worth it.

No front desk, all communication is via phone / text Unfortunately I didn't read the fine print & my room DIDNT have a bathroom so I had to share with the whole floor until I upgraded to the suite! I didn't realize they still made hotels like that smh Perfect location to walk around the area

Over a great stay for the price. In the middle of Little Italy. We enjoyed our time there even with a shared bathroom. It was never an issue. It’s an older remodeled property. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. The place is cute. We paid $122 a night over the weekend: plenty of food close by. If you want a nicer hotel this is not for you. If you want a low key well maintained boutique style place that surges its purpose at a reasonable price this is for you.

No staff, no parking, no working safe, the front gate is permanently unlocked instead of requiring the code to get in like stated, codes for your room does not change so any past psychopathic guest can come into your room if they've stayed there before
