We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hawthorne Inn and would definitely stay here again! The historic property is in a great location with San Diego's main sights either walking distance or a short drive away.
The room was perfect for us with a comfy bed and a convenient kitchenette. We also loved sitting outside on the patio in the mornings and evenings.
As other reviews have mentioned, yes, there is noise from overhead planes. It was louder than I expected, but we're used to train noise where we live, so it wasn't actually a problem for us. The hosts also provided earplugs.
In fact, Michelle was very sweet and accommodating, answering my questions and even lending us beach towels and mats!
Our dog, Quijote, liked staying here too! He was unsure about the planes at first but got used to them. I think he'd give our room 2 paws up!
