Top Desert Garden Hotel Reviews

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, awesome being in little Italy and close to so much. Bathroom was clean, except towels were a bit iffy. Room very small and had a smell. Front desk staff friendly. Room had air conditioning and ceiling fan. Suited for 1 or 2 nights max."

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property. Front desk staff was helpful and fun. The restaurant food was delicious and I had an amazing dinner there (must try the sticky pudding dessert) and breakfast every morning. The best part of the restaurant was every morning Christina was bright, cheerful, and a true joy to be around. I had one less cup of coffee thanks to her great energy."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and up to date, staff were friendly and helpful, the balcony was needing some attention for paint, no outdoor furniture and noted the same issue to other balconies. The sliders did not close properly could be an issue for kids and the latch. Parking was included in the stay, but do not bring a large vehicle could prove an issue when parking in their underground spaces. Plenty of electrical outlets for ECars."
