It’s not what we expected

Too noisy. We understand it’s a tourist spot. We don’t mind the noise outside during business hours but the noise in the hotel is horrible. The room is old that needs lots of maintenance. Elevator is horribly slow.

I loved the location. My very small fourth floor room was shocking. Had I known the property was in a state of remodel I likely would have booked elsewhere. Luckily I was traveling alone and could roll with the lack of amenities and maid service. The only reason the room came close to being worth the cost was the location.

Liked: Staff & service
Positioned as a premium boutique hotel in Little Italy. However, it seemed to have the approach of a hostel. For example, rooms are not cleaned unless you ask the front desk, no water or kettle in the room, tiny gym (cross trainer, rowing machine, some medicine balls). Staff were very friendly, but for the price I would have preferred a few more creature comforts. Great location - 10 minute walk from Santa Fe station and close to marina.

Nice small hotel, unfortunately big trucks /suvs need to find street parking. Great location walking distance to many restaurants/ bars.

This was an excellent location for LIttle Italy, right in the middle of all the action. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, it had a small refrigerator, and a decent shower. The negative would be the room was VERY small and only have queen size beds. (That's all that will fit) We had a party of 7, and had 3 standard rooms a 4th room that had 2 queen sized beds and a balcony. That one was higher in price of course, but it was about 4 times larger in size that the standard. There is a private, secure parking area with minimal space so it is important to drive a small car. Parking is an additional $35 per night if you are fortunate enough to get one - get there early! Once parked, you can walk everywhere and street parking is very hard to find as there is so much going on in the area. Overall, I would definitely stay there again as I felt the room price was reasonable for this day and age, and the location couldn't be beat. You just have to know that your room is only there to shower and sleep, this is not a hotel with all the bells and whistles.

This hotel is a boutique hotel in the heart of Little Italy. The rooms are small & the hotel old. But the staff is friendly & the location is near perfect if you want access to downtown SD.
