My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a nice view overlooking the bay, but they could use an upgrade. Despite numerous requests for cleaning that were promised but never fulfilled, the overall room experience was decent.

The location, though slightly sketchy, was convenient as it was in Little Italy where all the restaurants are situated. The hotel surroundings were pleasant and close to attractions like Little Italy, Balboa Park, and the Gaslamp District.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room provided was uncomfortably hot with poor ventilation, leading to a disrupted night's rest. On the upside, the bedding was clean and cozy. Parking was a hassle, and the staff's responsiveness could have been better. The location turned out to be convenient for accessing nearby attractions, making it easier to explore the city.

I absolutely loved the hotel's location near Little Italy and the vibrant Gaslamp Quarter, providing easy access to various attractions and dining options. The rooms were spacious, modern, and spotless, although the bathroom showed signs of wear and tear. The service, despite a minor billing hiccup, was outstanding with friendly and attentive staff. The dining experience, though not complimentary as advertised, was delicious and served by a fantastic server.
