We stayed at La Pensione for three nights on a short trip in San Diego. The location is fabulous in Little Italy with an extensive range of restaurants on the doorstep. We walked to all the places we wanted to visit in our two days, the ferry to take us to Coronado, the Maritime Museum in the Harbour and the gorgeous Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo. It couldn't have been better located for our stay. The hotel is clean and comfortable, we had a balcony room which was great, adding more space and a view over the buzzing Street scene for our three nights. Whilst busy during the evenings the area was reasonably quiet after the restaurants closed.
Our gripe was the lack of tea and coffee making facilities for the rooms. Although hot water was available in the conference room in the mornings there was no black tea, no coffee and no milk for two of the mornings. A simple thing but it would have made a big difference to how we felt about our stay.
Would we stay again? Possibly, but tea and coffee please.
