I liked how close it was to the Little Italy trolley. However, if your room is facing the street of the rail/trolley you'll hear the trains. We arrived pretty late to check in and there was a lack of parking. Parking is super tight and small but you can't beat $40 for the area. There are a lot of homeless at night and when we checked in at night there was a biker that went into the garage looking through things and probably people's cars. The breakfast is nice and they do provide things that you forget.

The location of this hotel is ideal, right in the heart of downtown San Diego and next to its Little Italy. The hotel is across the street from the Maritime Museum and just blocks from the USS Midway Museum. The County Center / Little Italy trolley stop is directly behind the hotel and that is one stop away from a major train depot where other transit is available (Amtrak, etc), making local trips very easy and accessible. We took the Green Line Trolley to/from Petco Park for a baseball game and to the Gaslamp District. The one downside is trains honking throughout the day/evening but that didn't disturb our sleep at all. I was surprised to learn at check-in that there is a $40 per night parking fee in the hotel garage; maybe I missed the fine print in making the reservation. The room was clean and well appointed, though we had a few ants and no nightlight in the bathroom makes nighttime visits jarring for sleepy eyes. I would definitely stay here again, though will consider parking elsewhere if more affordable options are nearby. And I'll bring my own nightlight!

Our stay was great other than the elevators not working. The property is doing renovations and going up and down with only one elevator that only worked sometimes was quite the inconvenience. However, the hotel is in the perfect location! Walking distance from amazing dining, the beach, ferry to Coronado island, and night life/clubs. I would stay there again.

Man, be careful of where they put you in the hotel. Because it’s right next to the trains. It seemed like you were forever hearing the sound of bells and alerts the train was coming. There’s a four hour window where there were no trains, that was midnight to 4-am. So tell them to put you on the side away from the train tracks.

Great location, easy access to lots of fun stuff and next to the event we went to for our stay. Only issue is one elevator is still out of order and it takes a VERY long time to catch it due to the number of people leaving at the same time at check out.

We love Little Italy and San Diego in general. So staying somewhere with a pool, is right across the street from the park, and serves breakfast just adds to our good time. Everyone who works there were very nice and friendly. This location is not quiet! We were able to sleep but woke up occasionally because of the train. If the breakfast had gluten free and lactose free milk options besides eggs it would have made my wife’s day start off better. Also, the fact that the entire hotel was down to just 1 elevator on a busy weekend was not noted and not ideal. Lines to go down during breakfast and check out were very long. Be careful with parking. The garage feels up quickly and people are rude and double park or block you in by parking behind you.

**TRAIN CROSSING ALL DAY AND NIGHT** Expedia did not do a good job of informing us of the noise issues for the property. We would have stayed elsewhere. Issues: - Train crossing 24/7. The gates open every 5-10 minutes for each of the 4 trains that are adjacent to the property. - Elevators under remodel - only 1 functional elevator = long waits. - Ants in room / cleanliness - Poor rating here. Not acceptable for a 5th story room. - Limited parking - space does run out. The staff was kind and courteous. Would not stay here again. Did not sleep well.
