Great price for the location: parking is a bit tight but nothing terrible. Hotel was definitely very safe—only way to access anything besides the lobby is with a keycard! Only issue was when I booked through Expedia it had the hotel listed as breakfast provided—there is even a sign in the elevator showing “Breakfast Provided” but it is misleading, borderline a lie. The breakfast is available at the very pricey restaurant adjacent to the hotel with a 10% discount. Almost $20 for three pancakes is outrageous in my opinion even in a downtown restaurant of a major city. Ended up having to spend more money than planned because of having to pay for breakfast (not at the restaurant because as I said those prices were unbelievable.) Overall very good experience, nice pool, fantastic location near pretty much everything you could need for a great trip to SD!

This hotel was very close to the sante fe depot station and within walkable distance of little italy so it was a perfect location. parking on the property was an extra charge but the parking garage was very convenient to have and easy in and out access throughout the day.

The location was indeed perfect. The room, and particularly the bed, was amazing. However, the breakfast was not quite as exceptional as in other locations.
