We had a wonderful stay, the attendant up front was so friendly - my son really enjoyed talking with him. The hotel patio is lovely, the room was very comfortable. I would definitely stay again the next time I’m in San Diego - walking distance to great coffee shops, restaurants, and beautiful Little Italy. <3 P.S. Parking wasn’t that difficult to find even though the hotel doesn’t have a lot!

We booked the King Deluxe Room with restroom. Make sure you look at the room you book, as some rooms do not have attached restrooms and are communal. Hotel itself was cute, def a vibe. Room was clean, staff were present and friendly at the front, ac and water worked great. Parking is a doozy. Street only or paid lot parking can definitely be a hassle, but if you land a great spot, it's totally worth it.
