Great location, clean and comfortable

Great location, easy access to lots of fun stuff and next to the event we went to for our stay. Only issue is one elevator is still out of order and it takes a VERY long time to catch it due to the number of people leaving at the same time at check out.

We love Little Italy and San Diego in general. So staying somewhere with a pool, is right across the street from the park, and serves breakfast just adds to our good time. Everyone who works there were very nice and friendly. This location is not quiet! We were able to sleep but woke up occasionally because of the train. If the breakfast had gluten free and lactose free milk options besides eggs it would have made my wife’s day start off better. Also, the fact that the entire hotel was down to just 1 elevator on a busy weekend was not noted and not ideal. Lines to go down during breakfast and check out were very long. Be careful with parking. The garage feels up quickly and people are rude and double park or block you in by parking behind you.

**TRAIN CROSSING ALL DAY AND NIGHT** Expedia did not do a good job of informing us of the noise issues for the property. We would have stayed elsewhere. Issues: - Train crossing 24/7. The gates open every 5-10 minutes for each of the 4 trains that are adjacent to the property. - Elevators under remodel - only 1 functional elevator = long waits. - Ants in room / cleanliness - Poor rating here. Not acceptable for a 5th story room. - Limited parking - space does run out. The staff was kind and courteous. Would not stay here again. Did not sleep well.

No housekeeping was provided over a 5-night stay. Only one of their three elevators was working. Otherwise, this hotel is in a prime location close to the marina and Little Italy. Underground parking was convenient and comparably priced to other parking in the area.

I’d stay here again.

Was kinda iffy on staying here after reading other reviews, but it wasn’t that bad. Staff was amazing. Breakfast was better than I had thought which saved us a lot for being there 4 mornings with a family of 5. The elevators sucked because it took forever to go up or down but we managed and that wouldn’t keep me from not staying here. Fans in the bathrooms would have been nice to have. Other than that we will be using the hotel again if we do another trip to San Diego.

The hotel was under renovations... it was loud when they were working on repairs. The worst part was that they had 2 of 3 elevators closed for "modernization". I understand maintenance and improvements are necessary, but they really should do 1 at a time. The elevator wait times were ridiculous. And because there was only 1 and everyone else was in the same boat, there were several times that they got WAY overloaded. Packed in there like sardines! I'm POSITIVE that we were over the max weight capacity. The free breakfast was sub-par. I know that it was "free" but it's not really, it's baked into the price of your rooms. And compared to many other hotels I've stayed with "free" breakfasts, this one was definitely below average. The beds were springy, loud and uncomfortable. The AC worked in the sense that it cooled down the room, but it had an intermittent rattle sound that woke me up multiple times. Had to live with it thought because San Diego was unusually muggy. That's all my gripes... Other than that, the hotel is cheap and it's in a good location. Easy access to the waterfront, Little Italy, the light rail. Not far from the airport or the Zoo. Took several Ubers to different parts of town and most were under 10 minutes drives. the furthest we went was Ocean Beach, and that was probably 15 minutes or less. Very centrally located. The hotel also did a good job decorating for both Pride and Comicon. Very festive!

Positives: In time with the Pride festivities, the hotel was a welcoming environment. Location is great within walking distance of the park and promenade. Good breakfast provided. Negatives: We arrived earlier than expected and our room was not ready. Was told to either get a lesser (view) room now or wait til 4 for our actual room. We waited....and upon check in, was assigned the lesser room anyway. Whatever. Got in the room and it's fine. However, the next morning we discovered ants in the bathroom. We had plans for the whole day which allowed them to mitigate the issue, which I appreciated. So-So: while there were a lot of breakfast items, some things would suddenly swap so it was a little confusing. Dining area cannot accommodate the full hotel so I wish they would consider expanding seating somehow for busy weekends. We arrived in the middle of elevator upgrades so only one of three was working. Not sure how long that maintenance takes but it was an incredible inconvenience during a very busy weekend. Being on the 4th floor, we hiked up the (staff) stairs most of the time so that families and folks with luggage or strollers could use the elevator. Also people across and next to us were in a partying mood so music and activities were loud and ran until 11pm. While overall it averaged to be an acceptable stay, I'm not sure I would come again just for the location.
