This 190-room San Diego hotel features mid-century-style accommodations in the heart of Little Italy, including 5 suites equipped with modern amenities. The three-star Porto Vista Hotel combines open-air exterior corridors and distinctive sky bridges, where rotating art exhibitions and installations are displayed throughout the property.

“The adults-only hotel has an artistic theme, with rotating art installations, and its rooftop lounge, complete with a heated mini-pool, offers striking city views; the location is ideal, putting guests in the heart of Little Italy's dining and nightlife.

8.0/10
I had an enjoyable stay at this boutique hotel, which offered a great breakfast that was made fresh daily. The location is perfect, nestled in Little Italy with plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby. However, I found the soundproofing in the rooms wanting, which made for some noisy nights. Nevertheless, the valet service was efficient, and the rooftop area was an excellent spot to unwind.
Rooms
6.0
The rooms could use better soundproofing as I often heard noises from neighboring rooms, which detracted from the comfort. They were otherwise clean but quite basic in terms of amenities.
Service
9.0
The service was excellent, with staff being professional and responsive to my needs. Valet parking at $25 per day was a fair deal considering the location.
Location
10.0

The rooftop area was a highlight, providing a great atmosphere to relax and enjoy the views. However, some parts of the hotel felt outdated.
