10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay!
Alex, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice choice if you don’t want to spend a lot.

Very nice boutique hotel. Staff was friendly the hotel was clean, bar was open late enough to grab a drink after the game and it’s 1 block up from the Little Italy strip with tons of restaurants and places to grab a drink. We walked to Petco park, it’s a pretty decent distance maybe 20-25 min walk, but doable to avoid paying an outrageous price for parking near the stadium.

While the hotel, in general, was average, the location made up for it. Right in the heart of little Italy with endless dining and shopping options.

..

Staff were all friendly & helpful. The hotel was just blah … lacks cleanliness and comfort. Budget friendly compared to others in area, so if you’re just looking for a place to park & sleep it does the job. If you need anything more than that book elsewhere.

Terri, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

front desk staff was fantastic and very helpful, but the hotel itself was in terrible condition. our room stunk of raw sewage, and we were able to be temporarily moved to another, but upon turning the shower on the same smell appeared and the shower drain was clogged. the layout of the hotel was very deceptive, it has a beautiful front lobby, but once you go to the rooms it turns into a motel 6. the walls are paper thin and all rooms face inward to a parking garage. very odd hotel to say the least.
Bernadette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok getaway

The Porto Vista is a decent place for a Little Italy get away. The service at the Rooftop was vey good. The hotel of many updates, such as paint, light fixtures (crooked ), general cleanliness. The room furniture has been updated in the last few years but the rooms also need some attention. The air conditioner in room 457 was horribly noisy and made odds sounds that woke us. The mattress desperately needs an update.
Lisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is close to downtown and very convenient only thing was the parking fee is a little pricey.

My stay

Hotel check in was ok i was met with unexpected parking fees to tbe tune of $55 per night of my stay and a $250 deposit. Once in the room we found the room to be very clean but uneven floors and broken drawers were a bit un expected. No live tv available only netflix, hulu and prime tv but had to use our own log ins. Elevator was spotty at best. Friendly courteous staff but sub par facility. Also the pictures of the propert are not an accurate description of the property. The pool will hold about 4 adults and the restaurant does not serve food as described.
