Staff was very friendly and helpful. We found the location to be great - walk to the water front and Little Italy. The tram/train bells were annoying, but that’s part of being downtown. Very close to the airport too.

We were pleasantly surprised by the value, our room had a spacious room with a king-sized bed, and the complimentary toiletries were top notch. Breakfast and fresh coffee downstairs made mornings easy, and the location couldn’t have been better. The trolley station was right behind the hotel, giving us quick access to downtown and Little Italy, perfect for our Padres game staycation. Free parking was a huge bonus, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Overall, an excellent choice for comfort, convenience, and service.

Too close to the train tracks didn’t expect the crossbars sounds would run late at night or too early in the morning. The location is in a good area walking distance to Little Italy. The hotel needs an update, parking charge is too high at $40 a night so you’ll lose your deposit spent a week out there breakfast was okay.
