Breakfast was good. Access to the venue I needed to be at was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is very close to Little Italy so walking there for dinner each night was a breeze.
United States of AmericaVery comfortable beds and clean room. Was able to have a relaxing rest.
United States of AmericaClean rooms and great location only 8 minutes walking distance to Little Italy and 10 minutes driving to the Gaslamp Quarter.
United States of AmericaThis hotel was amazing. I was traveling with my parents, who are in their 70s, and my 5 year old son. The location was perfect. The Waterfront park across the street had security officers till 10pm. I was comfortable playing at the park with my son and felt very safe in that neighborhood. The Old Town Trolley picks up two blocks in front of the hotel which was helpful to minimize walking for my parents. The breakfast was good and we loved the location. We would walk two block to Little Italy for dinner.
United States of AmericaAmazing location near Little Italy, close to the Ferry for Coronado and Gaslamp District. Very clean, friendly staff, secure parking, good breakfast... really great stay!!
United States of AmericaBreakfast was not as good as I liked. The scrambled eggs appear to be processed liquid. 1 of 3 mornings had bacon. Other selections like bagels were not memorable. Coffee was hot and fresh. Location is the best, only 10min from airport, a short walk to the waterfront and ship museums and attractions. Petco Park is nearby (did not go there), and the S Diego Zoo is 15min away, that was great. The Italy district is 3 blocks away walking distance, which had plenty of restaurants and live atmosphere. Room was good. Service is fine. No microwave in the room though, so to use it, you have to go down to the lobby. Daily charge for parking $$. Parking garage was secured that activates the gate with room keycard.
United States of AmericaThe property is a great place to stay downtown San Diego if this where you want to stay. So close to water just a cross a street the parking garage was difficult if you drive a large SUV or truck 2 street or blocks away from little Italy. A must place to see and eat. The food amazing a nice night life. The waterfront a nice walk to see the large ships and boats and a cross the street a clean safe playground for the kids
United States of AmericaGreat location, affordable, and clean! The complimentary breakfast was perfect. we stayed here for the taco and tequila festival and it was close to the metro which was only a few stops from Petco Park. The rooftop pool was also a nice option. Would definitely stay here again!
United States of AmericaIt was an amazing breakfast. Great location and very clean. Super friendly and helpful.
United States of AmericaI liked it everything about this place. Location is good. Close to markets, restaurants and to the port. Many things to see around are walkable. Super clean, breakfast was good and the place looks like new. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I had very good experience :) We didn’t have time for the pool…. so maybe next time..
