Great location, right in the middle of Little Italy and opposite a British Pub. 5 blocks from the Santa Fe Depot Rail stop. Also plenty of curbside parking nearby and Ace Parking Lots. Walking distance to all the great restaurants of Little Italy. Hotel is comfortable with an elevator. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sad to hear it is closing down for reinnervation in June.

Great location in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. Smaller than average room, but I don’t require much space for just one night stay. If you would like bc a room with a balcony - request room 302.

Pro: Room was clean, space enough for single traveler or two, bathroom was nice. Good access to everything in walking distance in Little Italy and surroundings. The view from the room was also nice as I had partial view of the Little Italy signage. Hotel staff was accommodating, both on the phone and in-person. Con: TV did not work and stated "no signal"

The room was small but quaint. Smelled a little musty but turning on the a/c helped tremendously, which was a nice mini split. Bathroom was nicely updated. Bed was comfortable. Fantastic location in Little Italy, just steps from the Little Italy sign on India St. Great restaurants that are walking distance. Great value for the money. All the front desk staff were very nice and welcoming.
