The Hawthorne Historic Inn was a perfect place for us to land as a temporary home after moving from out of state - we spent a month here, while looking for permanent housing. The owners and staff were very attentive to our requests, the room and facility was clean and well cared for, and it was great to find something animal friendly. The location is a fun spot near Little Italy, downtown, and Balboa Park. We loved sitting on the balcony to watch the sunset as well. The only downside is being directly under the flight path as planes come into the airport - they feel like they are about 100 feet over head, and are pretty constant during the day, but thankfully aren't flying at night (until 6am). Definitely recommend this spot to traveling healthcare workers, and otherwise for temporary housing in SD.
