“This property stands out for its rooftop pool, which provides rare San Diego harbor views for a hotel in this category. I appreciate the complimentary hot breakfast and fitness amenities, even though some rooms face noisy streets and the nearby train. Its position puts guests near Little Italy and the waterfront, though awareness of the surrounding neighborhood is advisable.”
