Great place to stay, property was relatively clean, carpet looked a little dusty in the corners and a few superficial scuffs on the baseboard and walls but nothing crazy. If your a clean freak might not be for you but we were happy with it. Super friendly staff and it’s a great location. Parking is underground and 35 a night. Outside can get loud at night if your window is on the Main Street so but I just played white noise and was fine.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The property provided all that we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable-we slept so well! Very nice rain shower head also. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Some parts of the room showed wear but this was minor. Windows needed cleaning on the inside. That’s the reason for the average rating on cleanliness. But we would definitely recommend this property if staying in or Little Italy!

Great location

Great location. No onsite restaurant or bar but it didn’t need either because the hotel was right in the heart of Little Italy where everything is right outside. The room was not big but it had what I needed, it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

You should notify guests...

Overall it was a great experience but there was one huge drawback, no parking... To be fair they had some parking but if you check in late in the day the parking will be gone. It was also a Saturday night and there was no parking anywhere close. I had to park over a mile away and had to walk in the rain the next morning to retrieve my vehicle. The hotel was great, staff were wonderful but if I knew there was no parking I would not have stayed there to be honest. At least if they had let me know that there was a possibility that I might not have parking I could have decided to stay or not....

Cockroach Room

Right after checking in and opening the room door, a cockroach ran across the floor. We alerted the front desk right away and it seemed as if this was a normal thing - they weren’t shocked at all. They said they’d “relay the message” for someone to come clean it up and that’s all they could do. We waited for someone to come but nothing happened, so we packed up and left. Hotels.com was able to sort out a refund at least.

The hotel is located in the heart of "Little Italy", which made it ideal for visiting here. The down side is the parking situation here. The underground parking is very small and parking was hard to find in this area. Secondly, the rooms are small and are in need of remodeling.

The hotel is in the middle of little Italy with great access to Italian and other restaurants. It is very close to the trolley line for easy access to many ateas of San Diego. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The hotel is connected to an outside terrace and coffee shop with great coffee and helpful staff. We loved it!
