Top Casa de Balboa Hotel Reviews

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent location in Little Italy, steps from the main plaza. Restaurants are close by. Walking distance to the trolley stop. 20 min walk to waterfront. Room: the only sink is in the main room, none in the bathroom. Bring your own Facial tissue as none is provided. Plates, cups and glasses are provided in the cupboard. Liquid body soap is provided. We needed to ask for a 2nd face cloth as they only provided one, but they gave 2 for the other towels. The shower was good, water temp was easy to adjust, big shower head. Walls are not insulated - you can hear room renovation and activities in the hall. If you are sensitive to noise, you might rethink this inn. The pillows were too hard for us. Fridge in the room. If staying for more than 1 day, you can ask for water each day. We didn't use the shared kitchen that was spacious and looked like they provided pots and pans."

Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly, room was clean but had an almost empty roll of toilet paper and no spare so we had to ask for one. There was a loud humming noise coming from the bathroom walls that woke me up in the middle of the night, maybe the pipes? Breakfast buffet was nice, enjoyed the variety of food options. Pool was also nice and clean too."
