We had a great stay at the Hawthorne Inn! The room was very comfortable, clean, and modern, and check in/communication was very easy. The location was extremely convenient to Little Italy, Balboa Park, and other awesome places. The airplanes were indeed loud outside, but it wasn’t much of a problem in our room - a lot quieter inside. One thing to note is that although the location is very convenient, it’s a quiet neighborhood - you aren’t quite in the “heart” of town. Perfectly fine if you’re willing to walk 15ish minutes though! Overall, great value and would definitely come back!
