San Diego è davvero splendida
Pros:

Posizione

Cons:

Rapporto qualità prezzo, struttura più simile a un ostello che a un hotel con costi altissimi . Arredi spartani e poco curati nelle aree comuni, assenza di spazio per la colazione, la prima stanza, poi cambiata, aveva odore di muffa. Posizione eccellente e staff gentilissimo ed efficiente. Peccato, la struttura andrebbe completamente rivista per un prezzo così alto

Hotel incómodo y caro. Habitación diminuta.
Pros:

Personal muy amable y situación céntrica en Little Italy,

Cons:

La habitación era enana, no cabía más que una mesilla de noche y el espacio para salir de la cama uno de los laterales era exactamente de 30cm de ancho. Precio abusivo para lo ofertado. Todo es estrecho e incomodo. La definición de "hotel-boutique" no tiene nada que ver con la realidad que te encuentras. Carísimo para lo que recibes.

Struttura posizionata al centro di Little Italy. Molto comoda per girare in centro anche a piedi. Ben tenuta e moderna.

Cons:

Peccato per la colazione che non è proprio molto fornita, però non mancano caffè e brioche.

Great location friendly staff.
Pros:

Great location walking distance to the waterfront and around the corner from little Italy. Clean updated rooms for an older building. Secure and easy in and out parking garage for $25. Small continental breakfast but good quality yogurt and bake goods.
