The hotel is very close to the bay. Easy walk thru a cute park to the waterfront. Hotel was clean, staff cleaned room every other day but extra towels and coffee available on request. Bed was comfortable.

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!

It was okay.

Our stay was short but went okay. Getting the digital key was a bit tricky. The room was fine. Although it’s next to a train track and it’s loud. They are upgrading their elevators but it wasn’t much of an inconvenience. The parking is $40/a day but the spaces are super compact. Vans and bigger trucks had to block one side of the driving lanes which wasn’t good. We almost got hit by someone. We had a normal sedan and it couldn’t fit into the spaces. The staff was nice and the area isn’t bad. I’d stay again if need near the airport again. Just don’t expect a lot of frills.

The windows in the hotel are very old and do little to block outside noise. Unfortunately, the train tracks next door made it hard to rest — trains ran until around midnight and started again at 6am. I won’t be staying here again unless major improvements are made, especially with soundproofing. If you’re considering this hotel, I strongly recommend checking if they have upgraded rooms with better windows.

It's great for the price. The only issue was that the elevators were out of service and the stairs do not take you to the lobby. Whenever we had to leave the hotel, the stairs took us either outside in an alleyway, or to a part of the hotel where the exits were emergency only. It was very frustrating.

Our stay was “good”.

I wanted to give this hotel an “excellent” score, but I was disappointed in the $40 fee for parking in a small leveled garage. I also almost gave this hotel an “okay” score because the elevators were being updated and it took FOREVER to go on the elevator, but that’s temporary…their juice dispensers were also off in the breakfast area, but I’m assuming that is temporary as well. I settled on scoring this hotel as “good”; the room was comfortable and the staff was very nice. Two free water bottles upon checking in which I appreciated. The location is great. Not sure if I will come back again, will definitely look at other hotels in the area first.

The location alone is great. The facility itself is outdated, although they did say they are making some upgrades it did impact our stay. The elevators were the worst part, sometimes waiting 15 mins! The ice machine on our floor was down. The parking lot was often full at night, even though we paid we had to park on the street.
