Great location in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. Smaller than average room, but I don’t require much space for just one night stay. If you would like bc a room with a balcony - request room 302.

It’s a very solid hotel that gets the job done. Staff is easy going and helpful and it’s next to everything. Does it have all the frills in the world? No, but it’s really solid.

Pro: Room was clean, space enough for single traveler or two, bathroom was nice. Good access to everything in walking distance in Little Italy and surroundings. The view from the room was also nice as I had partial view of the Little Italy signage. Hotel staff was accommodating, both on the phone and in-person. Con: TV did not work and stated "no signal"

My wife and I love staying here. The location couldn't be better for enjoying Little Italy, the staff couldn't be friendlier, and the rooms couldn't be cleaner. No matter what part of San Diego we're visiting, this is where we stay.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was small but quaint. Smelled a little musty but turning on the a/c helped tremendously, which was a nice mini split. Bathroom was nicely updated. Bed was comfortable. Fantastic location in Little Italy, just steps from the Little Italy sign on India St. Great restaurants that are walking distance. Great value for the money. All the front desk staff were very nice and welcoming.
