Downtown San Diego Hotels
Downtown San Diego hotels are close to all the area's attractions: conventions, parks, and the waterfront. Plus, the San Diego trolley makes getting to other parts of the city easy, too. Whether you're visiting the city for business or pleasure, the revitalized downtown area is the place to be for great shopping, dining, and lodging.
Affordable Downtown San Diego Hotels
Both Fodor's and Frommer's travel guides list La Pensione Hotel as one of the most affordable downtown San Diego hotels; in fact, they each rated us as the top budget hotel. Don't let the word budget throw you: we offer accommodations that are clean, quaint, and definitely memorable. With rooms as low as $79.99 a night, we're inexpensive, too.
Situated in the middle of the city's "Little Italy" district, La Pensione is more like a European hotel than an American one. The rooms are slightly smaller, but the hotel surrounds a Mediterranean courtyard featuring a quaint coffee shop. Ample sunlight during the days and refreshing ocean breezes at night--plus the Italian aromas of the neighborhood--will have you thinking you're in an Italian pensione. That's exactly the old world charm and intimacy we want to provide for you.
Many of the downtown San Diego hotels are the generic chains that are the same in every city: the larger the franchise, the more bland they become. We, on the other hand, are a family-run business; we know the guests and they know us. We feel it makes for more personalized service, a friendlier stay, and a more memorable experience. The next time you want to visit Italy, try La Pensione in downtown San Diego.
