Excellent value, good location, great service
This was a great value place to stay. I spent 4 nights in San Diego and paid less than 50$/night including breakfast, which was by far the cheapest option in downtown San Diego. The hotel is conveniently located just north of the Gaslamp district (10-15 mins walk away), close to Little Italy. San Diego is very compact, so it was easy to get to all the main attractions on foot. The room was small but had everything I needed, including a small kitchen area with fridge and microwave. The shower was spacious and clean, with toiletries provided. There was also cable TV and free internet, which was fast and effective. The breakfast was rather basic, but they made an effort to offer a different selection of foods every morning, from bagels to muffins. There's an on-site laundry and vending machines for late-night snacks, and since Little Italy is not far away, a good selection of cafes and restaurants is nearby. Although the hotel is located just below the landing path of San Diego airport, the noise from the planes did not bother me, and since I am a big fan of planes I was actually happy to watch them from so close! Bring earplugs in case you might be annoyed by the noise. Finally, hats off to the friendly and professional staff who helped me with all my queries and were fast and efficient. I would definitely consider going back again.
