When we checked in, we were not informed that room cleaning must be requested. When we go to the room, it was small and the AC was not working properly. The staff was great and they moved us into another room on the same floor. The AC took all night to cool down the room. The carpet was dirty and there was a lot of dust on the AC unit. In the bathroom, there was mold on the ceiling and there was no AC in there. The morning of discharge (sat), there was a market on the street by the hotel. Starting at 5am, you can hear the tow track and by 8 am you can hear tons of people on the street. We couldn't relax and it was kinda upsetting.

Great hotel, amazing staff, excellent location in the heart of Little Italy. The rooms were gorgeous and we had one with a great view of the area. Just be aware this is a boutique hotel and they offer very limited parking in a tiny garage and they don't offer daily housekeeping.

This is the best value in San Diego/ Little Italy area. The staff if wonderful, rooms are clean and great location. You can't beat the value for this accommodation. The hotel is a little dated and rooms small, but since we are only there to sleep and refresh, it suits us perfectly especially for the price. We've been there before and already planning our next visit there. Highly recommend.

Love the location in Little Italy and it's also very convenient to public transportation. Climate control was a bit funky so the room was constantly a bit humid. And the automatic light kept turning off while I was in the shower .

Nice Room for One

Had a great experience here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was a little cramped. Hard to navigate with 2 people and our luggage. The room didn't have a full length mirror

This room was right on the main street of Little Italy with a lovely little balcony. I was worried that street noise on a Satuday nite would disrupt my sleep, but slept like a baby on wonderful mattresses. Location cannot be beat. No complaints.

Convenient location for public transportation and dinning spots. Right in the heart of little Italy. Attached to the hotel is a great coffee spot. The room was a decent size for a quick couple night stay. The hotel concierge was very welcoming besides the male with a very dule and rude attitude, besides that every was great!
