    lovely courtyard
    peaceful escape
    great location
    accessibility features
    limited amenities

    The La Pensione Hotel features a lovely little courtyard that provided a peaceful escape amidst the bustling city. Its proximity to numerous restaurants and shops made it convenient for me to explore without long walks.

    Could improve accessibility features for seniors.

    well-appointed room
    great shower pressure
    tight parking
    slow elevator
    odd pillows

    Small yet well-appointed room with great shower pressure and views of the bay. The location is ideal for exploring local Mediterranean food spots and is just a couple of blocks from the waterfront. However, the underground parking is a challenge due to tight spaces, and the elevator could use some improvement as it was slow at times. The pillows were also an odd shape, making it difficult to find comfort while sleeping.

    egg station
    amazing vibe
    helpful reception
    confusing parking
    poor communication

    The egg station at Farmers Table near La Pensione was an absolute game-changer! Plus, the vibe of Little Italy was unbeatable, with gems like Salt and Straw just a stone's throw away. 24-hour reception was super helpful too!

    The parking situation was confusing. we couldn't park at the hotel due to the farmers market, and ended up far away. They said our car wouldn't fit, which was not cool.

    clean room
    great location
    cheerful vibe
    limited parking
    confusing situation

    i had a lovely stay, especially since the location in little italy exceeded my expectations. My previous visit to san diego was good, but this time everything was just perfect. the room was clean and walking distance to great restaurants made it even better. i also enjoyed the cheerful vibe of the farmers market right outside the hotel.

    parking was extremely limited.

    great location
    peaceful courtyard

    i had a lovely stay at la pensione! the location was fantastic, within walking distance to numerous attractions, including the shoreline. the room was very clean, which made my family feel comfortable. the free street parking was a nice bonus, especially since we didn’t have issues during the farmers market. the peaceful courtyard added a nice touch to our experience.

    amazing location
    comfy room
    free breakfast
    creaky bed

    Perfect Little Italy Base!

    Super convenient spot! We strolled to the USS Midway and the farmer's market right outside. Loved grabbing coffee and pastries each morning—such a nice perk. The room was comfy, but the bed was creaky. Made it tough to get a good night's sleep with the street noise, but what can you do? Enjoyed our stay!
