The property was absolutely gorgeous, right by Little Italy. The staff were so nice and helpful. The only reason I gave it a four star review was due to the community bathroom.
The room was clean and the staff is very friendly. The parking is very easy to navigate.

Clean room & comfortable
Staff was friendly
Loud - next to the airport & traffic intersection noise
No parking on site
No curtain in the bathroom
No toilet paper holder in the bathroom
Touchup paint did not match the original paint (appears construction was recently done)
Only one spoon ( no other utensils in the drawer)
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!
I had a nice single queen room with it's own bathroom and it was delightful. The staff provided daily snacks (waters, energy drinks, chips, and trail mix). The location is nice and secured where only guess will have access to the property.
Everything about my stay was amazing. My room was amazing. The location was amazing. I enjoyed every part of it and the staff was the best from the contactless checkout to helping me right away. If I had any issues in checking on me throughout my stay 10 out of 10. Definitely cannot wait to stay again!!!
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.
The place is really nice , the front desk person is very kind all the time , he was very nice, the location was very close everything. I love this place with my niece .
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.
Nice hotel. Great location in the center of Little Italy. Beautifully renovated property with trendy decor. Very nice staff (Jeff was amazing) cool amenities like the pool table, firepits and the snacks during our stay. Unfortunately, very loud. Hotel sits next to the entrance of the freeway. Also very close to the airport so you could hear all the planes and the cars and sirens all night. We did get a couple of ear plugs during our stay which did come in handy. No parking on site but we were able to snatch free street parking across the street and we just walked everywhere. We enjoyed our stay but could imagine it could not be the best fit for everyone.
Everything was good just wasn’t aware there was no bathrooms in the room or shower, but the community bathroom ended up working out perfectly. Definitely recommend just wish San deigo didn’t charge to park everywhere
Staff was super nice, check in was easy. Room was nice and clean, only thing slightly less than desirable is shared bathroom was a bit dirty looking. Otherwise, great for price.
