Rooms were clean, beds and pillows were super comfy, staff were super nice! Major plus: price is much cheaper than the surrounding hotels. Only downside is the parking: parking situation is not great, lot is tiny and doesn't seem to have enough spaces but there also is free parking on the street about a 1-2min walk away from the hotel. Overall, it was worth it! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be booking to stay here again!

A big plus is the free parking, which was extremely convenient for both the start and finish lines of the race. The location made race weekend much easier and stress-free. The only downside was that the rates were quite high, likely due to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon event. Overall, the convenience and free parking were definite highlights.Stayed for the second time and will most likely be back for next year’s race.

Great location with friendly staff. Building is on the shabby side but does have a fridge and microwave (2 upvotes) NO coffee maker (1 downvote) The towels desperately need replacing, they have the texture of a Scotch-brite pad.

The hotel has an excellent location. The cost-to-value ratio is very good, considering it's a really expensive area in San Diego and the cost is very reasonable. Obviously, you can't expect a presidential suite. The room is reasonably clean, with a clean bed in good condition, and the bathroom works, but forget about aesthetics and decor. The place is very spacious. Overall it was fine, except that I got a room right next to the street and was noisy, and though I requested a change, they didn't grant it.

It was near the venue where I was attending a concert (San Diego Civic Theater). I like to stay close enough to walk to avoid parking hassles. And there are LOTS of interesting eating choices all within walking distance.

Love this little hotel right outside of Little Italy in San Diego. The staff was great. Considering it is an older building we had a great stay. Love that it is quiet and close enough to the water without the hustle and bustle.

The place was in a great location, beautiful amazing restaurants around, the best farmers market on the weekends and a walk to the cruise port. Frank at the front desk was so helpful! I traveled alone and was lost and he helped me charge my phone, hold my luggage and get an uber.
