I had a delightful stay at the hotel with its superb location near the trolley and within walking distance of numerous attractions, including the shoreline. Everything was so close by, especially Filippes Pizza, making it an excellent choice. The only downside was the room with a window towards the courtyard, but overall, a great experience.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to local cafes and restaurants, especially Filippes Pizza. The rooms are spacious, with interesting design elements, comfortable beds, and much bigger windows. However, the dining options could be improved, and the lack of included fresh orange juice was a downside.

The hotel's location in downtown San Diego is excellent, very close to the trolley stop and Filippes Pizza. It's great to be right in the heart of the neighborhood. The rooms offer a pleasant modern decor with windows facing the courtyard, although I hope for a better bed. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience with grilled fish was delightful. Overall, a nice stay at a reasonable price.

The hotel is located very close to the trolley stop in the charming Little Italy neighborhood, with some nice restaurants around it. The rooms have a pleasant modern decor and interesting design, perfect for large suitcases, right in front of the bed. The service was exceptional. However, the dining options were limited to Asian dishes. Overall, a great value for money stay.

The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and close to transport options. The rooms are spacious with bigger windows overlooking the courtyard, although a better bed would be desired for more comfort. The service is attentive, and the dining offers delicious hamburgers. Despite some room for improvement in room amenities and views, the overall experience is pleasant and offers good value for the money.
