JOSHUA, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a clean room and clean hotel. They are obviously remodeling. We could hear the traffic and planes from our room and the air conditioner would make a terrifying noise each time it kicked on.
Lindsay, 1-night trip

A Relaxing Stay!!

The hotel is under construction but it was still a beautiful hotel. Beds were comfortable, very clean, friendly staff. They even gave complimentary charcuterie cups, sparkling wine and lemonade. My only complaint is the parking is 40$ a night and it's very narrow. Other than that it was a great stay.

Great hotel
Ana, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Requested adjoining rooms at booking. The hotel did not respond and were unable to accommodate the request at booking. Hotel lobby under renovation so the "amenities" were limited extremely.

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.

San Diego

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!

Hotel is in a great location! Service is great ! The only downfall is the elevator takes way too long!! Parking lot is bad!! Other than that it was wonderful!!

Annette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Slightly Disappointed

Hotel location and rooms were nice. However, they were remodeling during our stay. So, the pool and food services were unavailable. I really wished it was stated beforehand, I would have chosen a different hotel. The pool was a feature that we were looking forward to.
Brigette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room could've been cleaner. Hair was all over the bathroom from someone's previous stay. The hotel is under final stages of renovation so expect dust, paint smell and a little noise. Make sure to not go to the Front Street entrance because it's blocked off. Also, hotel is labeled Courtyard by Marriott which caused a bit of confusion. After the construction is finished, I will be returning for another visit. All the things I didn't quite like were either temporary or easily fixed things. Staff was 10/10!
Carmesha, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

So much construction

It's not a 4 star hotel especially not in its current conditions of construction.
