Lovely property in walking distance to a ton of great Little Italy restaurants. The room was small but clean and comfortable. Uber pickup is convenient. The street market on the weekend was a nice place to browse and pick up souvenirs. I would stay here again if I’m in San Diego.

Cute hotel in the heart of Little Italy. The rooms are adequately maintained, you could see dust build-up at the corners of the floors, and behind the furniture. Otherwise, the main room, bathroom and bed were clean. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. The area is highly walkable, with lots of good dining options for most diets, and you won’t have a problem catching a ride share if you don’t have a car. I’d definitely stay again.

Very small but worked for me

Bedroom: I had a room with a queen bed, it was very small but it worked for me. Even for 2 people, it may be a bit tight. Going based off the room I was given, I am not sure if all rooms are like this. Noise: If you are a light sleeper, this may NOT be the hotel for you. I don’t mind noise at all. The airport is near by and trust me when I say, those airplanes are LOUD, again, I’m not bothered by loud noises. Location: Location was perfect! Lots of restaurants, bars right outside the hotel. So many to choose from but keep in mind, they do close “early” even on weekends. Early as in most places do not stay open till 2am. Airport, Gaslamp, Liberty Market, and more, all a short uber or drive away On Saturday the farmers market was outside of the hotel, that was great! It was about 3-4 blocks. If you can, wake up early, and check it out, lots of food and drink options. Parking Parking is TIGHT squeeze and limited!! Prepare for this. They do offer other parking structures near by and a short walking distance. Luckily I scored a parking spot for the weekend. Overall, fantastic hotel! Staff was friendly, helpful and so were house keeping. Very lovely ladies. I would definitely stay here again.

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.
