 La Pensione by lmkluque
San Diego's Little Italy comprises several blocks north of downtown and east of SD Harbor. The most charming area is two blocks on India Street and Date Street is the center.
Undergroud parking is free, but parking is limited and on a first come first serve basis. The San Diego Trolley has a stop just two blocks from the hotel.
At this writing the priced of a room was $75.00 plus tax and this price will continue through summer 2003. Sometimes the hotel offers specials.
I entered the lobby, small, clean and simply decorated. The black marble fireplace hinted at cozy evenings and just outside was a small garden patio connecting the hotel to it's two restauants.
The receptionist greeted me warmly and after hearing that I came to see the hotel for a friend, gave me a key to room 320. The room was smaller than I'm used to in a hotel but the air felt fresh, a ceiling fan above the full sized bed circled and added charm to the room. The bathroom was as clean as the room and what I liked most was the tiny balcony over looking the center of Little Italy.
I stepped out for a better view and surprisingly I could imagine the night time activity , a European type feel that I liked.
Before leaving I stopped around the corner to see the Restaurant and the Coffee Shop next to it. The Restaurant's purple decor was subtle, if you can imagine that. Prices were high for this intimate place but average for the type.
The charming young people working at the coffee shop patiently answered all my questions about hours opened and food served.

Stylish room, extremely clean, including the bathrooms. Bathrooms had new, modern equipment and good water pressure. I was suprised to find a refridgerator & hair dryer. I had a corner room on the 4th floor. Out one window, I could see the downtown, 1 block or 2 away. Out the other window, I could see the harbor, likewise a block or 2 away. The area that the hotel is in (Little Italy) is clean, safe and attractive. My only complaint is that Little Italy is a little bit tourist trappy.
