The hotel is situated on a lively block in Little Italy, making it a convenient stone’s throw from the beautiful restaurants and bars downstairs. With that in mind, the price you pay is for that convenience. The hotel itself is older evident by the state of our room which was cramped, lacked modern conveniences like a closet or mini fridge, had peeling wall paint and matted dusty carpet, and thin windows that let sound from the bustling street below in til late hours. It’s a very basic older hotel at a convenient location, which is fine, I just wish more reviews reflected its actual state instead of blanket “exceptional”.

Room was a bit on the smaller side, but it was very clean and the staff was extremely nice. Also, great location….there is a really cool street market that sets up outside a few days a week with really cool stuff. Also located near a lot of really good restaurants.

Staff was a little stand offish and offered very little in way of hospitality. But, one staffer did offer bottled water on the second night. The room was noisy at night from the street noise. The rooms don’t get cleaned unless you ask which we didn’t know, so we were there all weekend Friday to Sunday and never had the room cleaned. Location was centrally located and closed to everything.

Efficient hotel in great location!

I was there for a one night stay for the San Diego marathon. Hotel is in a fantastic location for food and access to the marathon finish line. Rooms are small and my AC wasn’t cooling, but it didn’t bother me as I just wanted to go to bed early and wake up for an early race start. Front desk staff were great, providing waters and also accommodated a late checkout which must have been challenging with so many runners staying there.

Location was great and room was fine, although a bit small with limited amenities (eg an in room coffee machine or good on site coffee). Parking was available although a bit tight. Overall fine for a two night stay.

We stayed here with our baby and it was a disappointing experience. The hotel doesn’t provide cribs, and when I asked to upgrade after realizing I booked a Queen bed by mistake, the front desk guy didn’t even check — he just said they were sold out and clearly didn’t want to be bothered. I asked how we were supposed to sleep safely with a baby and he didn’t care. The room was dirty — the toilet seat had yellow stains, the metal toilet paper holder was falling apart, and the dark carpet felt gross. I honestly felt like I needed to shower and scrub myself clean as soon as we got home. Definitely not baby-friendly or worth the price.
