- Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was good, close to Little Italy, but everything else was terrible about this property.

About this area
San Diego
In the city center, Porto Vista Hotel is in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood, an area with good airport proximity. Maritime Museum of San Diego and USS Midway Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Port of San Diego and B Street Cruise Ship Terminal. Check out an event or a game at Petco Park, and consider making time for San Diego Zoo, a top attraction not to be missed. Our guests appreciate the hotel's central location for the nightlife. It's also convenient to public transportation: County Center - Little Italy Station is 6 minutes by foot and America Plaza Trolley Station is 11 minutes.

Nice hotel
Empires and service are great and its in a great location. We’ve been here plenty of times, only thing is I think it might be time for upgrades/remodling through the whole hotel. Still a great place to stay.

- Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The check in service was great and very inviting but we had a hard time sleeping due to the Loud noises of a party downstairs and in the hallway till 1am. We had been moving all day for an event so we were tired. We also didn’t like how hot the room got without the air being on. The Tv was a nice bonus with cable so that made for a nice story. Overall it was a pleasing experience.
