“The Dextro places you steps away from Little Italy's charming bustle, and it's just a quick ride to the Zoo or Coronado Beach; the on-site C3 Restaurant and bar is a welcome touch after a day out. I appreciate that management seems responsive, though elevator hiccups and occasional service lapses appear to need ironing out. Overall, a promising base for exploring San Diego.”
