I only stayed one night, I reserved the full size bed studio. it was small, quiet, clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Traveling alone I would stay there again. didn’t get to spend any time around the area but plenty of places right outside to walk to, nice neighborhood

San Diego hotel reviews
Pros:

Great location next to little Italy, but they were in the process of remodeling. So had construction issues., and some airplane issues since close to the airport .

But the price was good . So if you want a better location , you will pay more .

Pros:

Charming little hotel located in the heart of Little Italy San Diego. Within walking distance to a lot of dining options and tourist attractions in the area. Hotel room itself was kind of small but had all the necessities. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

Pros:

I loved how nice everyone was at and around this property. It was right in the heart of little Italy-only a block away from live music and great food. Again everyone at the property was very nice as well. The room itself was nice, but a bit small. There was no microwave or dresser but decent size fridge and a stand to place your carry on luggage on to grab clothes out of throughout the stay. The building itself seemed pretty old, but you can tell they are trying to add upgrades. It was great stay for a 4 day/3 night trip.

Pros:

Little Italy is located in a great area with many nearby restaurants. The staff was very welcoming, and our room was clean. We were also able to check in a little early, which we really appreciated. The only downside was that on our second night, the power went out five times in less than five minutes.

Pros:

Pros: Great location with a short walk to almost everything in San Diego. FYI the place is called the Vantaggio as Expedia has it listed as the Little Italy Inn. Cons: the bathroom appeared to have water damage and there wasn't a fan.

Pros:

This “stand apart” hotel is more of a boarding house that rents out some rooms on the first floor. It had a lot of residents and people coming and going. If you are aware of your surrounding you are likely fine but not a place for your average tourist. Budget for sure. Black mold growing on the ceiling in the bathroom.

Pros:

Great little gem! I would absolutely stay here again. Rooms are basic but it’s right in the heart of Little Italy with lots to do and explore. It’s also a central location which makes exploration to the rest of the city easy.

When I arrived, I noticed that the small fridge had been leaking all day. The floor was wet, and there was a strong, unpleasant smell coming from the fridge.
