“Location and Value at its best”

Reviewed 11 June 2013

I've stayed at several top hotels in San Diego and have never had a more inviting staff. I've actually stayed here twice this year and have had exceptional customer service each time. If you want a reasonable price hotel one block from the Little Italy which has excellent restaurants and great bars then Porto Vista Hotel is it.

“Worst Sleep at a Hotel, Ever.”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

As others have mentioned, this is basically a remodeled Motel. Your room faces an outdoor courtyard so everything gives an echo. You hear everytime someone passes by especially if they're dragging luggage. We stayed over Memorial Weekend and it was very busy. There was a wedding reception on Saturday evening, which was located in the center courtyard at the top.... More

When the taxi pulled up at the hotel I thought wow! this looks great. My impression diminished as I left the reception.

Yes, it does have a motel feel inside the room and there are cosmetic details that could be addressed but this little gem has a lot going for it.
