This is the perfect place for night or two in little italy, San Diego. Free parking and one block above the main strip. Place is older but was very clean. No breakfast or coffee but with all the restaurants and italian cafes within walking distances you wont miss it. Great value for the location. We will go back.

There was no security, and the fire doors were open, no usable stairs, no ice and the sheets were dirty. The staff was friendly and the location was good - close to restaurants and bars.

Room was very clean. It’s right next to Little Italy (walking distance) with lots of restaurants and cool bars and only about 2 miles away from Gaslamp. They also have free parking. Definitely recommend.

There was an exterior door propped open all night (which didn’t feel safe), the bed and towels were scratchy and uncomfortable, and room service left the room smelling like cigarettes (seriously).

Certainly the worst hotel we ever slept in — we both travelled across North America and world. We booked it quickly without checking it and because it was close to airport. Room had a strong and a bad odor. Toilet was not clean. Shampoo and towels were just totally not good, hotel two entrances were at times left open and anyone from the street could walk in. No iron or ironing board in rooms….

Great hotel at a great price in a great location. Staff is also great. We left early in the morning to catch an uber to the airport. Front desk man saw that we were outside and let us in to wait inside where it was less sketchy

Avoid This Hotel at All Costs! This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire business career. The experience was beyond disappointing—everything from the service to the cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable. The rooms were filthy, with stained sheets, dust everywhere, and a terrible odor that made it difficult to sleep. The bathroom was even worse—mold in the shower, dirty towels, and a sink that barely drained. It was clear that housekeeping either didn’t do their job or simply didn’t care. As for the service, it was just as bad. The staff was rude and unhelpful, making even basic requests seem like a burden. Check-in was slow and disorganized, and when I raised concerns about the state of my room, they were dismissive and unwilling to assist. To top it off, the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt neglected and run-down. The hallways smelled musty, the carpets were stained, and the entire place just felt unhygienic and poorly maintained. I would strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. There are far better options available for the same or even lower prices. DO NOT STAY HERE!
