Not worth the price!

We stayed here for the weekend and were, unfortunately, very let down. I don’t think this is the worst hotel in the world.. but it’s only a slight upgrade from what most would consider a “budget hotel” (like a Best Western). We ultimately chose this hotel for the location and recognized that it wouldn’t be a 5 star experience and were ok with that, but the location just isn’t enough. The Marriott downtown was only $100 more for the weekend. Service - some of the front desk worker were really nice and helpful, always greeting us when we walked by. There was one guy, though, that worked in the evenings and he was such an unpleasant person to interact with or walk by. Never smiled, you could barely hear him when he talked, not professional… just sat on his phone until you needed something and seemed completely annoyed that you did. Additionally, staff was a little noisy in the mornings and this was frustrating, being on the first floor The room - it wasn’t the most clean, with the floors being particularly dirty. Lots of paint coming off walls, fixtures looking old and worn. The hallways also smelled and it tended to creep into the room. Very stuffy as well - if you didn’t keep the AC running always, it was unbearable. Other - says “onsite parking” in the listing, it’s actually 3 blocks away. Not bad for downtown, just not quite accurate is all. “Onsite” makes you think a lot next door or valet. Also housekeeping turned AC unit off when we were out. Made it extra stuffy

The room was very clean and functional, if not large. I was disappointed to be on the ground floor so it was very dark and maintenance staff was working outside the window, but the location is fantastic. A great farmer’s market on Saturday mornings is just around the corner, totally worth a stroll, and the trolley is also close.

Great location, small room

It was decent. Location was great, nearby a lot of restaurants. However, size of room was pretty small.

A great choice for travelers who value location and friendly service. While the hotel itself is older with small rooms it’s well-maintained and very clean. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable. Being in the heart of Little Italy, it's perfect for exploring the neighborhood’s restaurants, shops, and nightlife.

Great location, but bare bones. Check in and check out was sterile. Bed was very comfortable! TV wasn't working properly. Unsure on safety factor, but I definitely kept my door locked. I wouldn't necessarily recommend to someone else.

Great location and very reasonably priced for the quality. Right in Little Italy, and a 10 minute walk from Gaslamp district. Room was comfortable if a little small. Negatives were noise - guys power washing the street or something at 7am could be clearly heard as could other guests. Also the weird metal bed frames made noise when getting in or out. Staff very friendly and helpful when asked questions or directions.

The hotel is in a very convenient position, close to public transportations and restaurants. Little Italy is steps away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a good experience. However, a few dollars have been taken from my ‘deposit’. Despite the small amount, it would have been fair to know why I have been charged. I have enquired, but I didn’t hear back from them.

almost perfect but...

i only have 2 complaints, 1 was the room ac wasnt working well so the room was warmer than i would like and a bit muggy. i opened the windows which helped alot. 2 the parking garage has set hours of operation so when i got back from a late dinner the garge doors were closed. other than that the location is perfect right at the center of little Italy with plenty to do around town. the staff was very polite. the room size was nice. if it wasnt for the ac issues i would definitely give this place 5 stars.

From the minute I called Manny at the front desk to request an early check-in and was met with a kind and willing employee who wanted to help us out, I knew we made the right choice in booking the Urban Boutique Hotel. Though the property and rooms are on the small side, they provide everything you would need for an enjoyable stay in Little Italy. The location is second to none, literally steps away from the all the dining and action. We will definitely book a stay at the this property in the future. Thank you Manny and the staff for providing a great stay!

I stayed here for 16 nights in January/February 2025 and enjoyed it very much. The room was spacious and well equipped, with a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffeemaker, air conditioner/heater, safe, and iron. The location was perfect, just around the corner from the Piazza della Famiglia in Little Italy, in close proximity to many restaurants and only a few blocks from the nearest trolley station. The hotel was very quiet and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Outstanding value as well! Recommended most highly.
