I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Little Italy next to a lovely Piazza. The rooms, although small, were nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our stay special. The hotel is a great value for the price, offering a fabulous experience in a central location.

Being on the ground floor, the room was small but adequate for my purposes, although too narrow for hosting more than 7 people. The service was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and apologetic, ensuring our issues were addressed promptly. The location was superb, within walking distance to various attractions. The dining experience offered a good basic continental breakfast. Overall, a reasonable value for the high season.

The hotel was pretty nice for what we paid, offering spacious rooms with Air Con, a small Fridge/Freezer, Microwave, Tea/Coffee making facilities, and a Safe for valuables. However, parking was available but not accurately depicted on their website, and there was ongoing construction next door with noise from exhaust fans.

The hotel has a convenient location in the heart of Little Italy, providing easy access to various attractions, although some noise from the street and hall may disturb. The rooms, despite being clean and pretty, felt somewhat dirty with limited space and no juice availability. The service was welcoming and helpful, with a good breakfast featuring fresh fruit. The dining experience was decent, although the juice machine was out of service. Overall, a recommended stay for those looking to explore San Diego on foot.
