Wallpaper was peeling and walls needed some repair. Hotel overall was fine but was in a perfect location.

Location, location, location! This is the ideal spot to stay if you want a walkable, quiet and comfortable stay. My room wasn’t the cleanest, but it was doable for a few night stay. The hotel is very quiet, and traveling alone I felt very safe. There are tons of places to eat and drink within a comfortable walking distance. In Saturdays the farmers market is outside of your front door. If you’re number one is location- stay here !
We really enjoyed our stay. Room and property was clean. Saturdays Farmers market is right outside the hotel. The only problem was the parking very limited. if you are planning on stay there make sure you dont have a big truck or SUV because you would have to find parking out in the street. Big cars dont fit in their parking garage.
Awesome location! Heart of Little Italy! Main Sqare across street from Hotel… Restaurants and Bars right outside Hotel entrance. Walking distance to Seaport Village, Portside Pier, 10 minutes Uber from Airport.
Coffee shop and courtyard in the same bldg, has great coffee and morning eats.
We loved our stay!! Room is small and humble, but it’s an older refurbished bldg in DT, that's just how old architecture is… you won’t spend a lot of time in the room, there is so much to do and see, so size didn’t matter.
Safe area, and quiet at night….we walked everywhere.
You know what they say about LOCATION, this is the place to enjoy Little Italy and San Diego Harbor. Front desk staff is helpful with a friendly smile.
Would stay here again!

Avoid at all cost!
Horrific except for location. Homeless half naked man shouting at entrance to hotel entire time we were there. Had to park across the street in unattended lot because our car wouldn’t fit…cost more per night plus hassle. Rooms tiny with no amenities. Tv had several cords hanging out. Room was too small for our luggage. Shower was a disaster. Never stay again and recommend my friends avoid at all cost.
The room was smaller than expected but good for a solo trip or couple. Our AC was not working properly so it felt very humid inside. We needed to have our window open during our stay. We did love the convenience of being close to Little Italy and the shore. Everything is walking distance. Parking is limited so I suggest arriving a bit before check in to secure a parking spot during your stay.
Friendly and accommodating staff, wonderful area. Clean and simple rooms. Book parking separately ahead of time and expect to pay min $30/night for 3rd party parking.
We really loved staying in Little Italy and found the hotel to be perfect for our needs. Our room was upgraded as we were celebrating a birthday and the room was good. The staff were really helpful and the English bar cross the road was enjoyable in the evenings.
Great location in San Diego. Just be very careful of type of room you book. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and there was a convention in town. Would stay again because of staff and location.
