The Alley Cat Cottage is a great location when visiting San Diego. It is pretty much central to all the points of interests. The parking is very very tight, so this can be tricky for people or with cars bigger than standard sedan.
When we entered the cottage, it had an old musky smell. We tried to fan it out, but we ended up buying candles which did the trick. Other than that, this is a great place for two people and all the basic amenities were provided. The location itself is great (close to freeway & local eateries).
The bed was very comfortable and Louie is very friendly & accomadating. If you're looking for old quaint style place, this is a great option.
