The Little Italy Hotel is now the Courtyard Marriott, still transforming it, front entrance is now on Union street, not Front Street. Marriott’s are wonderful hotels!

Lovely Little Italy location

This is the perfect location! Although the breakfast offerings were meager, there are amazing places to eat and then a little market nearby. It's within walking distance of everything! Beautiful view of the harbor and the little Italy plaza from my balcony.

My overall stay was good. But parking especially if you have a big car I will advise you park out side my car was scratched because it is narrow to exit and no sign to let you know that.

Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were friendly. Check in and out was fast and easy. This place would’ve received a 5 but, because of the renovations currently happening a lot of amenities were closed. The staff do tell you after check in that amenities are closed
Laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Go somewhere else.

The hotel is under constructions. They have no amenities. The service was slow and unfriendly. Besides the location it is not worth it.

Good times...

Great location, 2 block walk from many restaurants and places to drink. They still had construction going on but we were not adversely affected by it. Good times and I would stay there again...

Thank you

An unexpected stay. We got in on a wed morning stayed at a hotel that just wasn’t accommodating. The next morning looked into the hotel there was a room with all that was going on in San Diego we were able to get the room and check in right away. Friendly staff, clean and made the rest of our stay comfortable and enjoyable

Breathtaking view

Beautiful room with an amazing view of the city and the ocean. Can’t wait to go back
Lizzeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall great experience but the abtbroom door was really loud when you opened and closed it. Areas around the sinks rim were dirty and on the door you can tell it was freshky painted because the paint had come off. Other areas too paint was coming off due to not letting enough time for it to dry first before door was closed. Beds were great, view was great and in a great neighborhood. Farmers market in the weekend was a nice surprise as well

The hotel is a great family casual hotel. I just wish there was housekeeping available during the stay. Breakfast is very light and there’s a shared microwave. We also struggled to get linens but other than that everything is great.

The air conditioning is very noisy, we couldn't rest.

George, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

They were doing renovations during our stay. It was frustrating as we had to change elevators to get to the lobby. Once the renovations are finished, we would stay there again. On a side note, I think it should state in the comments that there are renovations happening.
Paul, 2-night trip

Awful experience

When I arrived they said I didn’t have a reservation! Then I got bullied in the garage and my rental car got scratched🇶🇦

Great location but bad parking space

Great location but the hotel still under renovation. Parking lot is crazy. We almost have no where to park and have to find our own parking outside of the hotel due to no enough space. For hotel customers arrived late and to learn that there is no parking space was stressful. Luckily, we were able to squeeze in a non-assigned space and no car hit our car coming out of the lot.
EuNee, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice Place

We stayed from 7/9 to 7/12. All of the sites fail to mention that this location has some construction going on. So the pool is closed and any restaurants and bars are also closed. For the first 1.5 days there was only ONE working elevator in the hotel. Room was very nice and clean.
David, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed service

The hotel was under construction and had limited expected services including a pool. The housekeeping service was non existent and our room was not cleaned or refreshed with clean towels and bedding.
