I was very disappointed with my stay at Little Italy Hotel in downtown San Diego. The room was not clean—the floors were dirty, there was an unpleasant odor, and the overall condition of the room did not meet basic cleanliness standards. The room also lacked several basic amenities. There was no coffee maker and no telephone to contact the front desk if assistance was needed. Overall, the hotel did not provide the level of comfort or cleanliness I expected. I hope management addresses these issues so future guests have a much better experience

I stayed 2 nights in a (cozy) queen bed room. Location cannot be beat and staff were great. Pool was tiny but the common areas were nice to have a drink and lounge. Rooms could use a paint job but for what I paid, it was a good deal in Little Italy. If all you’re looking for is a no frills room in the middle of everything, this is your place. I would stay again.

Room was clean, bathroom was weird, like it used to be a balcony or something. Amenities like the rooftop movie was pretty cool. Pool was SMALL, like my dining room table ….. not what you would expect for a hotel I guess. Great proximity to walking to all things fun in little Italy and gas lamp.
