AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

What guests think

Many reviews mention small, dated rooms with thin walls, noise from corridors or airplanes, and recurring issues with air conditioning, water pressure, and plumbing. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with reports of stained linens, musty odors, rusted dispensers, slow drains, and housekeeping that is by request and sometimes not fulfilled. Facilities draw mixed reactions: a tiny rooftop pool often closed or underwhelming, a rooftop bar/restaurant with nice views but limited hours or service at times, and spotty Wi-Fi or TV requiring personal logins. Overall, it suits travelers prioritizing location over amenities and polish.

Convenient to Little Italy and downtown but that is about where the upside ends. Had to wait 30 minutes at counter for check-in at 1 am when I was exhausted. Valet parking is the only way to park and was exorbitant. Room smelled of smoke and air conditioning was loud. Blanket was thin and there was no spare. Bath towels were likewise threadbare. Workout room only had one functional machine. All in all, not a place I would ever come back to.

Hotel check in was ok i was met with unexpected parking fees to tbe tune of $55 per night of my stay and a $250 deposit. Once in the room we found the room to be very clean but uneven floors and broken drawers were a bit un expected. No live tv available only netflix, hulu and prime tv but had to use our own log ins. Elevator was spotty at best. Friendly courteous staff but sub par facility. Also the pictures of the propert are not an accurate description of the property. The pool will hold about 4 adults and the restaurant does not serve food as described.

It was a nice hotel the room was just very small. It was nice cause it was near little Italy. But the parking was incredibly expensive. We paid $110 for 2 days. Also we booked this hotel for the pool and when we saw the pool it was so small. Definitely disappointed.

Valet parking was easy and fast but expensive at $55 the breakfast vouchers that we received because we were checked into the wrong room initially provided only a limited breakfast of eggs toast potatoes and a meat choice. The Rooftop Bar was great the service was good and the rooms were okay also.

So convenient to Little italy, an area so much better than gaslamp distict. Easy to catch trolley, walk to waterfront . Porto Vista is nice,a bit rough around edges. Elevator slow, fortunately we like stairs. So stairwell can be cleaner and more inviting. rooms clean spool is a great way to get outdoors, had fun watching planes come in. Parking really ridiculous price, so we never rented a car and relied on public transit. Value worth it if you dont pay rack rate.

Lobby and website were a bit misleading. The rooms showed considerable age, the beds were pretty springy, and the pool on the fifth floor could barely be considered a pool. The elevator was also confusing as the buttons don’t light up. Staff was friendly, but it’s clear they put a ton into the lobby to make it appear upscale.

hotel is decent , the walking distance to the restaurants and bars was the best. elevator is TERRIBLE. it takes so long to open up, most of the time we had to use the stairs because we would wait a long time for it.

If you need a place to rest your head you’re in the right spot. The place is pretty dumpy, stained sheets, barely any soap in the rusted out dispenser in the shower, cracked mirror… I mean, the location in great, but the rooms are bare minimum what is required. You’ll Sleep ok, but for the price… Lind of a dump.

This hotel is underwhelming compared to a holiday inn at best. The room didn’t feel clean. They did not offer house keeping, and we had to request new towels. If i wasn’t in town for only two days i would have probably switched to a different hotel but as i wasn’t planning to spend too much time in the room i let it go. The floors were black and the ac unit in the room had mold/ dust galore

After my shower, feet are black from walking around for one minute. Floors are horribly dirty. Bathroom sliding door kept coming off the rail, had to repeatedly fix. Fiancé was trapped in bathroom at one point until I fixed the door, again. Breakfast was disappointing on several levels. Server was not welcoming at all. The food preparation was not good, small portions and not made per request. The layout of the suite is odd. Can’t sit to watch tv but in single chair, nor from bed. Shelf in bathroom is flaking apart, soap and shampoo dispensers are rusted, corroded and dirty looking. There was one single wash cloth. The front desk was exceptionally polite and expedient. The valet is timely and polite.

The hotel is located in a beautiful and walkable area with many restaurants and bars. Our refrigerator did not work and had to call for a second fridge for my breast milk. Had to put a bag of ice because the mini fridge did not get cold enough to keep the milk chilled. The other downside of the room was the “air conditioner” the room never felt cool it felt more like a fan. The elevator 1 and only for the entire hotel, is slow and buttons don’t work. Didn’t experience the rest of the property

This property is mediocre. It’s in a great location but I wouldn’t consider it a boutique. The rooms were dark and smelly and it was not very sound proof. It was walkable to a lot of great spots in little Italy and convenient for the market. Our tv remote didn’t work, toilet seat was loose, lacked normal amenities at your standard hotel. We were only there for one night and it was acceptable for that. Not a great “vacation” spot. There is only one elevator so it takes forever. One of our rooms had a nasty sewer gas smell and the fan in the bathroom didn’t work to help. This is definitely a motel not a boutique.

My son and I stayed here during comic con. It was nice that it was in Little Italy, but it could use a lot of work. The rooms were drab, they could use a fresh coat of paint and an updated air conditioning unit. We did feel very safe at night and it was quiet. But it’s a no frills, just sleep there, kind of hotel. Grateful that we took Amtrak and didn’t drive, because parking was $55/night. Unreal.

There was a $55 overnight parking. One of the laps in the room didn’t work. The walls were paper thin you can hear everything in the room. At night and morning there was so much noise that you can hear people walking and opening doors and walking upstairs. The worst part the plumbing was awful the water was coming out of the shower and they had to snake it in the morning. By far the worst hotel I’ve ever stay at.

Walked in around 1:30 pm and was checked in immediately. Didn’t have to wait until 3pm check in. Leann helped us out and was very nice. She said they had a $20 offer to upgrade from a queen to a king with balcony so we jumped on the offer. The room was lovely. Nice and clean. Looks very updated. Balcony overlooked the ocean. Came with mini fridge, sink, and a microwave. The restaurant is awesome. Over looks the ocean as well! 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be staying here again! They even held our bags for us while we explored and waited for our train ride back. Amazing service. Nice updated hotel! Thanks again!

Booked here last minute, stay was just okay. Location is great walking distance to great restaurants and shops, but there’s a lot of noise from other guests, airplanes, and the air conditioning. The beds were extremely hard as were the pillows. The room itself was pretty spacious, didn’t feel cramped, appropriately appointed.

Hotel falling apart. We were told you had to request room cleaning and clean towel service. Requested everyday for 5 day stay and didn't happen until we put all the dirty towels and bag of garbage on checkin desk. Only 1 of 3 ice machines worked in hotel. Fridge in room broken. $45 per day to park don’t know unless search hotel.com site, not easy to find.

The door on my room locked itself from the inside every time it was shut. I was locked out several times and maintenance had to let me in. I was not offered a new room until the last night of my stay when I was locked out of my room for almost two hours and they had to remove my door to gain access. The manager will not answer my calls and nothing was offered in a show of good faith. The girl at the front desk was rude and useless. The maintenance guy was great.

The front lobby staff was very nice and accommodating. One star for the service at Glassdoor Restaurant. After waiting an hour, we found out they had lost our order, then waited another hour only to receive cold food — and one of the dishes was wrong. The server was completely incompetent, though the bartender was very kind and helpful.

Overall, my experience at this hotel was highly disappointing. Not only did they make a mistake with our room reservation by not letting us know the suite didn’t allow pets, but they also failed to properly register one of our rooms they had accommodated due to mistake, leading to a terrifying incident with security in the middle of the night. Security walked into the room as my grandparents were sleeping and proceeded to question them. It was clear that Gerry’s priority was to avoid getting in trouble rather than ensuring the safety and comfort of their guests. While they did attempt to make amends with a free breakfast, it did little to erase the fear and discomfort we experienced during our stay. The lack of communication and professionalism displayed by the staff was unacceptable, and I would caution others against staying at this establishment in the future. The pleasant meals and occasional manager check-ins were simply not enough to outweigh the negative aspects of our visit.

Very nice boutique hotel. Staff was friendly the hotel was clean, bar was open late enough to grab a drink after the game and it’s 1 block up from the Little Italy strip with tons of restaurants and places to grab a drink. We walked to Petco park, it’s a pretty decent distance maybe 20-25 min walk, but doable to avoid paying an outrageous price for parking near the stadium.

Building was built 4 years ago but there was no update to the brochure. I was disappointed that there was no view.
