Good stay, location is why we chose this venue
Pros:

Location. Near the event we attended and easy to get to the freeway

Cons:

Train kept us up in the evening. Tried to sleep early but couldn’t. Couldn’t get late checkout so we had to cut it very close to checkout time.

great value for area. rooms very clean
Pros:

Great affordable option in downtown San Diego. Interior of the rooms was quite spacious and immaculately clean. They were doing construction when I was there, which in my mind just means they are actively investing in making it better.

Very comfortable if you get the right room
Pros:

Nice hotel and wonderful staff. Clean and comfortable. Close to everything and lots of nice restaurants nearby. Very walkable. However ask for a room away from the train or bring earplugs. It’s really really loud

Great hotel, breakfast and location
Pros:

The location is perfect, just a 5 min walk to Little Italy where you will find a nice and safe place to walk and eat. The hotel is nice, renovated, friendly staff and serves pretty good breakfast.

In addition, you'll be 10 minutes walk from the pier where you'll find good touristic attractions.

I strongly recommend it for your next visit.
