Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I had read the reviews before coming to the hotel. We were looking for affordability and a safe, nice place to rest our heads until the next day. The room wasn't dirty but it did have a light coating of dust that was clearly visible. The walls are thin and the airport isn't far- we brought earplugs and we slept well. We were able to walk to Petco park […] safely and enjoyed the farmer's market the next morning. The front desk ws very kind and the valet was honest- you can park here or see if there is any parking on the street , just make sure to read the signs for parking issues. We were able to save 27 dollars that way alone. For what we paid, I wouldn't stay again but if it were discounted I would perhaps consider it. Read more

Great location and for the price, hard to beat. Pretty sterile room with not much character, but whatever. Walking distance to little Italy and courthouse

If you're looking for a hotel that is a up and coming hotel this is for you! Near the bay and in Little Italian, which has so many good restaurants around. Will def stay again!

Overall the location of the hotel was very convenient. When we arrived we had to ask for pillows since there weren't any in our room. The man at the front desk was very accommodating but our room looked nothing like the images online. Our room was located at the end of the hall next to the maid chambers. The walls were very thin. We heard the garage […] gate squeaking open and close all night, a party that was taking place, the maids at 7am, and the washers/driers. Parking is valet only, for $22 a day. Read more

My husband and I had stayed here once before. Our room was tiny but modern and updated. This time was another story. Our room was old smelled weird and looked like a totally different hotel. There were stains on the bathroom door, chips in the bathtub, stains on the sheets, and the air conditioning unit made way too much noise and didn't work. We will […] not be returning. It's basically an old motel and its definitely not worth what we payed. I've stayed in other motels that were way nicer for a lot cheaper. Read more

All in all it's a nice hotel, good location, my GF and I walked to the harbor which was very close. Everything was fairly close. The only bad thing if have to say is the bed was too hard and when the neighboring person is showering the water pressure is so loud in your own room.

Good location,great staff. Nice hotel, clean rooms. Caution though room 316 is fairly noisy. Below restaurant I think seemed to quite down from above after 1:00 am.

Based on the Hotels.com info, I had certain expectations about my stay. I expected a bright, spacious room with cool mural sized wall art. My room was small, fairly dark and had no art to speak of. I believe the original listing on the site mentioned that breakfast was included. The hotel said otherwise. We had even talked to the front desk the night […] before to confirm that it was. They first said yes, then the next morning said otherwise. They finally did work it out for us, but it was a hassle. Sure, there might be rooms that do have all those features, but it's disappointing to not know exactly what type of room I'd be getting ahead of time. Other than that though, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the location was nice, the room was clean and comfortable. Read more

It's a cute little hotel conviniently located. Everyone was courteous and helpful so that made my stay more comfortable...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It is so convenient to the harbor and train station and it is all within walking distance. The free breakfast consisted of eggs and meat and anythiing else you had to pay for. I ordered a bowl of fruit and got two old dried sliced strawberries with some blackberries, two of which were moldy. We really don't like the hidden cost of $22/night just to […] park your car in their parking garage. Read more

The Porto Vista was a great place to stay in San Diego; Just steps from the main street of little Italy, and about about one mile from Gaslamp. I did not like that one had to pay $22 for valet! All in all, a good trip, but Porto Vista; lower the valet...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was a bit dated. The beds were comfortable. Bathroom was small. Hotel personnel very friendly and helpful. Nice hot buffet breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

While there is nothing particularly wrong with this hotel, it is not a hotel. It is a converted motel. Your front door opens directly into the outer walkway where many guests walk by. You can hear them so clearly, you'd think they were in the room with you. The lobby is really well decorated to give you the impression it is a swanky hotel but it is […] actually a well-to-do motel and a less than stellar hotel. As long as your expectations are managed, it should be no problem Read more

A couple things could have made this stay a 3 or 4 star. One our room needs a complete remodel, seems like they tried but cut all the corners. Two, this place is loud, don't expect to sleep and as other guests are rude enough to stand in front of your door and have a fifteen minute conversation. Guess it did not help that we were next to the elevator. […] Three, use the correct size sheets for the bed, our under sheet kept coming undone. This place seems modern and hip till you get in your room and the. It is motel 6 style. Read more

The halls were noisy people running and making all kinds of noise all night. They have a wonderful patio you can sit and look at the sunset. If you can get a spot…. They have a big open area next to this little area but it is locked up. During our stay we planned an evening around looking at the sunset but a large party beat us to the spot and we had […] to make changes in our plans. Would have been nice to use this locked area. Our bathroom counter and floor had spots not sure from what. Note the hotel charges for parking we didn’t factor this in so it was a surprise. Read more

- Small rooms, terrible service, worst breakfast ever, bad location, noise from the airplanes, high prices for food in the restaurant (US3 a bread) and parking (US22 a day)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

When I first arrived, I couldnt find street parking paid Valet (expensive) for both cars. Walked inside and the center of the building is open so your hotel door leads to the outside. I like my rooms completely indoors. Then walked into the room and it was exactly as a motel 6 and was too late to call and change. To top it off the water wouldnt go down […] the sink or tub. Gross!!! Not a happy stay. Read more

My boyfriend and I stayed at PV for 2 days and the location if the hotel was great! The person who cleaned the hotel did not change the pillow cases, maybe did not clean tge sheets or clean the bathroom very well... When we came back the room looked like she just replaced the towels and made the bed, the toilet was not cleaned off either... I probably […] would not stay at this hotel again Read more

Really enjoyed.....fun energy

Nice accomodations with very cool bar on the fourth floor overlooking the city and water.. Nice neighborhood too. Plenty of bars and restaurants in "Little Italy" just one block away. About a 25 minute walk from the downtown Gaslamp area with even more. Parking is a bit expensive.

Acceptable, appropriate, affordable boutique hotel.

For the price I expected better

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We booked this hotel because it was having a sale on one of the online sites we looked at. I was not expecting a $22 parking fee especially when they would not let us park the car. (The car has some issues and is fairly difficult to drive. The valet driver stalled it at least two times.) The free Hi speed Internet that was also supposed to be included […] would not work at all. By this point we just gave up on this hotel. We did the upgraded room so that we could have the free breakfast that was included with that but there was little to choose from at breakfast and then they charged $6 for toast! The room was nice they just did a lot of hidden fees for everything. In the end I do not think I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Read more

I really enjoyed the Porto Vista. The location was great, easy access to downtown, Sea World, Balboa Park, Coronado, and easy on and off of Interstate 5. The view from the restaurant/bar was great. The price was great. The rooms were a little old, but clean, and not uncomfortable. The bathroom lacked a place to put my makeup bag, so I had to put it […] on the floor or on top of the toilet, which made getting ready inconvenient. Loved the location in little Italy, lots of restaurants with in walking distance. I liked the valet parking, the attendants-as well as all staff, were helpful and pleasant. I would book again.

We went down for my younger brothers USMC graduation, we had only planned on staying for 2nights but loved it so much we booked another night. They also had a pack n play for my lil guy which saved me a few bucks on checking yet another bag on our flight. Everyone was so nice from the valet to the maids and everyone in between! When we go back this […] summer I already know where we are going to stay! :) Read more

Hotel was really, staff was really friendly, clean place, good location, great food. Maybe not the best choice for families. We had a party in the room next to us that lasted until 4:25am, that made it a hard night and after several calls to the front desk they finally went to bed. Needless to say when my kids woke up and me and my wife made it back […] to life after the long night. I didn't worry about telling them to be quite. I let them play hard and when I got the call from the hotel, I ignored the request since the call came from the same people that kept me up until 4:25am. Other than that we had a great time. The hotel did compensate for the trouble and gave us the free parking for our stay since the room was already pre paid. So that was cool, especially since I wasn't trying or expecting to get a discount at all. My favorite part was the artwork and the food was awesome. I would stay there again but would ask to be tucked away in a corner or somewhere away from the party crowds. Read more
