Housekeeping downright failed in their job to clean our room with ample time notice. Someone asked when we wanted service but then we were told they can’t promise a time. So why did someone ask?!

The location of this hotel is ideal, right in the heart of downtown San Diego and next to its Little Italy. The hotel is across the street from the Maritime Museum and just blocks from the USS Midway Museum. The County Center / Little Italy trolley stop is directly behind the hotel and that is one stop away from a major train depot where other transit is available (Amtrak, etc), making local trips very easy and accessible. We took the Green Line Trolley to/from Petco Park for a baseball game and to the Gaslamp District. The one downside is trains honking throughout the day/evening but that didn't disturb our sleep at all. I was surprised to learn at check-in that there is a $40 per night parking fee in the hotel garage; maybe I missed the fine print in making the reservation. The room was clean and well appointed, though we had a few ants and no nightlight in the bathroom makes nighttime visits jarring for sleepy eyes. I would definitely stay here again, though will consider parking elsewhere if more affordable options are nearby. And I'll bring my own nightlight!

Close to the water and little italy . Not many options for free breakfast and it was very packed during that time. Also only 1 out of 3 elevators working which means you had to wait a while to get up and down. Otherwise pretty decent

Staff was friendly, hotel itself was decent. Rooms were clean. Downside is parking is very limited and had to find parking for both of our nights about 2 blocks away. At the time they only had one working elevator which was an inconvenience but not a deal breaker as we just took the stairs. Luckily we were on the 3rd floor so not too bad.

Well to start, the elevators we not working. There was only 1 functional elevator that made it difficult to take and this was due to business of the facility. The employees were not familiarized with the facilility and did not know escalators route. It appeared that we had to figure it out on our own. Despite this inconvenience, we were still charge the $40/night parking. Then, once i finally made to my room, there was a bandaide hanging from the ceiling. We called to have it removed, but no one ever came.
