AC inoperable. First floor windows do not lock. Bed had been used. No ice. No closet or hangers. No waste basket. Bad smell. Got to room around 10pm after concert in Gaslamp. Checked out at 11pm. Front desk could care less about complaint. "Not my job, I'm just the night guy." I let them keep my money (booked through Priceline)... More

DO NOT STAY HERE! If I could give it less than 1 star, I would. I booked this hotel through a third-party travel website (http://booking.com) and I had no idea how horrible this place would be... The location is the reason we chose this hotel and it's a good location in San Diego, but that doesn't make up for the... More

Stayed here for 8 nights starting mid-March. This hotel is only a few minutes and $10 taxi ride from the San Diego International Airport. Grape Street is basically the northern border of Little Italy. We were given a room on the second floor facing Columbia St, so it got noisy, but you can't beat the convenience. Within walking distance of... More

I reserved a room at this place, on the 19th and the 20th of march, 2013. When I first checked in, they assigned me to a room on the 4th floor. I went to the room and opened the door and there was someone sleep in the bed and someone else in the restroom. I apologized and immediately went back... More

Very nice, clean and quiet room (adjacent to the parking lot). Helpful staff. Great location in Little Italy with many quaint cafes and restaurants to dine at. Reasonable rates. Dogs are allowed at a fee of $25. The mattress was super hard which I didn't like. The room was a bit small for the 3 of us.

Yes this hotel is a smaller hotel and we are limited with our rooms as we have 42 rooms. We do fill up fast and sometimes this makes it difficult to switch our patrons to a different rooms that may be better accommodations for them. Sorry for the tight squeeze! We appreciate your business and hope that you will come... More

I would not stay here or recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, acceptably smelling hotel to stay in. Not clean, not clean or nice smelling, and has holes in the walls. only thing decent was how close it was to the nice Little Italy restaurants.

I am a travel agent and without knowing, I booked this hotel for my clients. What a mistake. They told me that it was very dirty and smelly. The weekend they were there, there was also lots of construction going on. They told me they would never stay there again. I know the price is reasonable, but there is no... More

The owners were very helpful and kept guests happy. The hotel is conveniently located in Little Italy, a short walk from Downtown San Diego and if you are playing a gig or attending a show at the Casbah, it is literally right around the corner

There was value for the location if you want to save money on a stay. It was comfortable and the bathroom was recently updated. If you want to be pampered in lavish surroundings this is not the place for you.
