This Historic Inn is a perfect place to stay when visiting San Diego. You are a quick 15 Minute walk downtown to the Civic Theater, Gaslamp district, Little Italy, and Waterfront. Walking back is easy too if your fine with some incline otherwise Uber and Lyft are great options. The area is safe and parking was available for our stay. The room has everything one needs and more, is very cosy and clean. A special touch was a bottle of Wine, some pillow chocolates and the earplugs. Yes, you are directly under the flight path for the planes landing into San Diego. This can be exciting when you want to see under a plane, but it is also loud. So if you are sensitive to noice then I wouldn’t recommend staying here. But it stops in the late evening and you get a very restful sleep in the comfortable bed and then the flights start up as a perfect alarm in the morning. Every few minutes a plane flies by, you get used to it! But that is the only negative point of this lovely Historical Inn on Hawthorne. My husband and I got a great nights sleep and enjoyed our short stay. I definitely would stay here again!
