After researching several sites for a hotel in San Diego, I settled on the La Pensione. No regrets. I wanted a reasonably priced,clean place located near Zoo, beach and other hotspots. Being in the heart of Little Italy was a bonus. On Saturdays, the street in front of the hotel turns in to a marketplace with music and vendors selling anything from art, coffee to fresh sea urchin (?) !
Regarding the rooms, they are smaller but comfy..Our room faced the ocean, which is about 3 blocks away.
I stayed here with my partner Sept 18-19, which i figured would be cooler in the hotel. It was on the warm side in the room during the day but cooled off enough during the night.
Not sure if summer stay here would be ideal, but I'm not a meteorologist so dont know if SD weather varies much in the summer.
Restaurants galore.
These are among the friendliest people I ever met, until you trek out onto the freeways...Yikes
We will be back to San Diego and the La Pensione as soon as we can.
If your looking for something a little different with charm., give this place try
