Pros (+) location was about it
Cons (-) Very dated space. Not very clean. Online pics were misleading. Very loud, lot's of partying 20-somethings and slamming doors at all hours. Much better options in the area for the price-point

Pros (+) Restaurant had an excellent view of SD. Bar was excellent and bartender wasn’t slippin on the bottomless mimosas. Location was a good walking distance to Waterfront Park. Pool/spa was a cute size to hangout out.
Cons (-) Water pressure in the shower wasn’t the greatest. Sink drained very slowly.

Pros (+) The location of this hotel is amazing, just a short walk from Little Italy. The room and bathroom were a great size. It was great to have both a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The balcony was a plus! Parking was only $25 and they allowed you to keep your car there until 1pm after check out. It Was great since it gave us time to explore the neighborhood.
Cons (-) Our room would get a bit warm at times. I am not sure if it was due to having older AC. The hotel is small and there would be long waits for the elevator at time.
