"Easy walk to Balboa Park and the Pier from here. Public transport is just a few blocks away, if you prefer. Lots of dining options, you are close to both Little Italy and Gaslamp District. The hotel staff were great, the room was clean and beds comfy. No pool, but the rooftop patio was lovely! Note that you are downtown and with that location comes a resident homeless population. They were quite harmless, just going about their business, and were not threatening at all."
