      Powered by OpenAI

      Conveniently situated in Little Italy, this hotel offers great value with clean, comfortable, and recently updated rooms. Guests can easily access an abundance of cafes, restaurants, and shops just outside. The staff is excellent and friendly, providing great front desk service to make your stay convenient and affordable. It's only a short taxi ride from the airport and a brief walk from the trolley station. This hotel provides a simple and charming stay that won't disappoint.

      Most rooms meet requirements, despite some being small. A few guests reported odor and heat issues.

        “A night stay ”

        A night stay is amazing ! Although cleanliness is not so good. But if you are noise sensitive it has to be considered. The AC is old school and loud. The fridge too! Otherwise everything is good. The check in staff is super friendly and helpful.

        “Great budget hotel in the heart of Little Italy”

        The location really couldn't be better. Parking can be difficult (the hotel does provide parking a few blocks away for $25 a day). I lucked out and the manager gave me a street spot as he was leaving, right near the hotel. I went for the budget room, a double that was the advertised special. The bed was comfortable, the room above the kitchen of the restaurant next door, the window in a narrow alley with not a lot of light. I imagine some of the other rooms are a little nicer but the price was very good, I mostly slept there and that was it. There was no desk in my room, and the work space in the hotel is very limited, but there is a nice coffee shop across the street. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I mentioned the parking spot but everything from an umbrella to local recommendations. Very good staff. The location is right beside the heart of Little Italy. I walked to the theater, the San Diego Civic Theater, in about 15 minutes. Traffic can get a little busy on weekends and they have a nice farmer's market literally on the street beside the hotel. Great experience, I would stay there again.

        “No frills but great staff and location. ”

        For the price, absolutely worth not having the extra frills., especially if you’re not going to stay in your room much. Clean and comfortable enough. Within 20 feet of amazing coffee and restaurants and super easy access to Saturday market.

        “Excellent”

        I used it as a base for sightseeing on my solo trip. I was satisfied. It's not like a front desk at a Japanese hotel, but the friendly staff made my stay comfortable. The transportation was convenient, and the safety was not an issue. It is also close to the trolley station, so returning from a night game at Petco Park around 9:30 PM was fine. I used Seven for shopping, but the atmosphere varies by store, so I opted for one a little further away. That was something to be cautious about.

        “This hotel would have been given a 5-star but..”

        Something isn’t right. We booked a great deal through Agoda, which I assumed was a special promotion for Platinum members. Before our stay, I even called the hotel, and they never mentioned any issues. However, when we arrived on check-in day, we were told our booking had been canceled because the hotel claimed the rate they received from Agoda was too low to accept. Instead, they canceled our Agoda booking and rebooked us directly at a rate that was ten times higher—though still within an acceptable range. I was confused and told the staff on duty that I had never been informed of any cancellation. I had already paid Agoda, and when I called them on the spot, they contacted the hotel, canceled the new booking, and immediately issued a refund. Something felt off, so we decided to take photos of everything in the room before checking out. A few days later, we noticed a $20 charge on our credit card. When I emailed the hotel to ask about it, they claimed it was for a stained scarf from their inventory. I responded with timestamped photos proving there was no stain, but they have yet to reply. I’ve never had to take photos at a hotel before, but I did this time because I had read multiple Google reviews with similar complaints. This hotel is clearly running a scam, and Agoda should remove them from the platform. I plan to escalate this to a senior executive at Agoda and report the hotel to the state’s consumer protection agency.
