“This is not a hotel.”

It was extremely loud from the 2nd floor party past midnight but the staff would not change the room saying they are all booked. I was really tired but I could not sleep. I complained 3 times and finally they offered the other room at 1 a.m.!! So, they had a room obviously, thank you!!!!

“Moderate facility for someone on a very small budget. Yes. The room was "cozy"”

Front desk staff, very polite and helpful. However, Carpet in the room very old, and very dirty even after it was vaccumed. Strong ordor comes from toilet itself. So door had to be kept closed. Saw cockroach running on floor in bathroom my very last day in am as I was getting dressed to leave for the airport.

Loved the area of Little ItaLy, but not the hotel I stayed in.

“Simply DON'T STAY HERE if looking for a restful sleep”

I booked a king room, they put me in two double beds next to a room that partied till 3 AM. Noise can be heard as though you were in the same room!

“will not be returning”

The hotel should be considered a motel! Should have went with first choice of the holiday inn which was located within 10 miles that offers free shuttle to all favorite destination and also offers free shuttle to and from hotel. It was nice for what it was but will not be returning.

“Fancy Facade”

The lights weren't connected to the wall switches, one lamp didn't even operate. The bathroom counter was not clean, and although the hotel was in a perfect location, the outside and lobby of the hotel are chic and nice, the rooms are no better than a motel 6.

Area recommendations
Little Italy, Downtown, Del Mar, Coronado... All depends on what you want to do.
