Porto Vista Hotel

Overall, average experience. We basically just needed a place to sleep, we weren't looking to spend a whole lot of time in our hotel room. The rooms were clean but very small. Nice view out the bathroom window. We were on the top floor and had a beautiful view of the harbor just outside our door. For the price, we couldn't pass it up. It's about a mile from the Gas Lamp district, but it's an easy walk. Would we stay here again...? Yeah.

horrible. at the time of arrivel there was a some kind of fire. in order to get to our room we had to use srairs. when we opend the room smell was so bad that we walked out and looked for another hotle for our stay which it took us a couple of houres, then called the hotel to let them know that we will not going to stay there.we ascked for the refound ,but they said no. hedayati

The hotel itself is beautiful on the outside. The bathrooms need a change for sure. The beds were ok but the blankets and comforters were awful

Good, but we did not like the clogged bathroom sink, no tops on the bathroom to put our things. Toilet paper holder is breaking off. Also, they charged me for failed attempts to make long distance calls. They also charge for the hotel shuttle to the airport. It feels like they just want to nickel and dime you for everything. There are just so many hotels that if I ever go again to San Diego, It will be worth it to use another hotel.

I don't typically review things, but this was interesting: 1. Booked same day, 1 King Balcony room. 2. Checked in and went to room, it was 2 Queens, no balcony. 3. Went back to front desk. Spoke with GM this time (by chance) he booked us in the Balboa Suite, which was very nice of him. 4. We went to the Balboa Suite and it had not been made up, like I was concerned that someone was still staying there. 5. Back to the front desk. Checked us into the Midway Suite. 6. To the Midway Suite. Keys didn't work. By chance I thought to try the suite next door (Harbor Suite) SUCCESS! Well, we got in... Room was big but sparsely appointed. Balcony was large but not private, though the view was divine. THEN, we woke up... To the sound of the restaurant directly above us... Chairs dragging across hardwood floors until checkout. Overall, not bad for the value, and the staff were very accommodating. However, I doubt we'll stay again.

This is definitely not a 3 star hotel. More like an upgraded motel. The layout is actually a motel and they just put a nice lobby. From the nice facade, you may be fooled that it is a nice hotel but it is nothing more than your average motel. The bathroom was dirty because the tub drainage didn't work.

the hotel is clean and in a nice location with nice Italian fashion...really good for the price in a city like San Diego

Thought it was pricey. The star rating on this hotel was 3 stars, but I have seen better 3 star hotels with better amenities. I guess you pay for the location , which is not far from Gas lamp quarters. Valet parking $22/day was outrageous. But you can find parking around the area if you look hard ..saves you money. Restroom was old, bath tub clogged up every time. The glass door restaurant on the top floor was good.

The hotel is at a really location in the Little Italy neighbourhood close to the downtown and the harbor but the room is very small.

My friend and I were very satisfied. The hotel actually didnt have our reservation at all. They ended up upgrading us from one queen first floor to 2 queens 2nd floor and 2 complimentary drinks at the Glass Door!! I was super happy! I will definitely come back!! The rooms were clean, it did have the grapic photo wall, the location was awesome and the staff was friendly!!
