Never Again
When we arrived on Sunday night the guy at the desk had zero personality and talked so fast we had to ask him to repeat what he said. When we opened the door to our room the room had such a musty smell we had to open the window. It was bad! The AC unit made a horrible sound and finally at 2am we unplugged it, hence… no air circulation. I’m not sure how this hotel gets such a high rating to be honest. The only saving grace for this hotel was the young gentleman that was at the desk when we left Monday morning who I told the AC in the unit was broken and he looked so caring and concerned when I told him, he said he would let someone know right away. I hope room 307 gets cleaned and sanitized as it really smelt bad. We should have gone down to talk to the first guy, but we highly doubted he would care. The hotel is in a great location, but so are a bunch more.

Do Not Stay Here If You Like Clean Rooms
Dirty sheets, bodily fluids and snot on the cover sheet of the bed, shower was broken and coming apart. The housekeeping staff lied and fraudulent charged for a towel stain when there was no stain. They said they would credit the room for the night and never did.

This was hands down the WORST hotel I have ever stayed at. For starters, when you arrive at the hotel they neglect to tell you that 'hotel parking' is a quarter mile down the street from the actual hotel, yet they charge you an extra $25 a night to park there. As you walk into the hotel, the front desk is RIGHT next to the door so every single time you walk in and out of the hotel the front desk clerk makes some sort of comment to you. Don't even think about coming to stay here with a dog, because they neglect to tell you even after you have checked in that you actually are not allowed to leave the hotel without your dog with you. This is the most ridiculous policy I have ever seen at a 'pet friendly' hotel. You might think that they won't notice, but the hotel staff clocks everyone who brings a dog in and will not let you leave the hotel without the dog. As you walk into the hotel you are immediately hit with an overwhelming odor of what I can only describe as a teenage girl's cheap perfume, which they have a machine consistently pumping throughout the hotel. When we got up to our room, we found it to be incredibly dirty, walls covered in paint chips, and to top it all off we found a pair of dirty women's underwear on the floor by the bed. The room and hotel have zero amenities, no breakfast in the morning, nothing. It is essentially an overpriced hostel. If you have the ability to stay anywhere else while in SD, I highly suggest you do.

Location is definitely a plus; the property is located in Little Italy, next to plenty of dining options and walkable strees. The property itself is just a place to stay for shower and bed, no breakfast. The rooms are small, very basic, the building is old, but maintained. The hotel doesn't have a parking, they offer a parking that is 4 blocks away, but there is a hight limit. Guests with large SUVs cannot be accommodated. That was our struggle, we found another parking, a bit more expensive. The negative side around the entire downtown is the problem with homelessness. Urine smell all around.... The city must work on finding a solution.

Pleasant hotel a block from Little Italy
This is an old building with window air conditioners. Single rooms are small, with a double bed. Towels were very good. Parking is $25/day in a garage two blocks away. Staff was friendly and helpful. There are many restaurants in walking distance. We've stayed there before and would stay there again.
