Porto Vista Hotel Downtown

The property was beautiful. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give this hotel five stars since the refrigerator made a really really loud noise that made it hard to rest.

All good nice place and close to walk to places to shop and eat

For me the place was perfect. I found street parking which was free from 7pm to 11 am and the street was quiet just behind the busy walk of fame. MEL'S DINER was 60 meters away. - Charles Rahim

Parking is difficult to find, specially during events

Friendly staff and pretty decent place. Unfortunately the structure of the building is not very soundproof so you hear everybody walking around.

The only positive thing I can say is the location. The property sits right by Little Italy and is just a short walk to the water, truly a lovely area. Unfortunately, everything else about this hotel was a disaster. Elevators: Incredibly slow, unreliable, and hardly functional. You’ll spend more time waiting than actually moving between floors. Rooms & Facilities: Our room had plumbing issues with visible leaks. The property itself is run down, with rust stains on the floor and paper-thin walls that make restful sleep impossible. Service & Treatment: Right after arriving, we were absurdly accused of a noise complaint — even though we had literally just gone out for dinner and returned. When we asked to move out of the leaky room, the back-and-forth was exhausting. We were finally told we could check out late at 3pm, only to be kicked out at the regular 11am checkout time anyway. Overall Management: It’s clear the staff are overwhelmed, dealing with constant issues created by greedy ownership that invests nothing into upkeep or customer care. Final Verdict: Don’t let the nice location fool you. This hotel is a run-down property with unreliable amenities, dismissive management, and zero respect for guests. Save yourself the frustration and book literally anywhere else.

Hotel check in was ok i was met with unexpected parking fees to tbe tune of $55 per night of my stay and a $250 deposit. Once in the room we found the room to be very clean but uneven floors and broken drawers were a bit un expected. No live tv available only netflix, hulu and prime tv but had to use our own log ins. Elevator was spotty at best. Friendly courteous staff but sub par facility. Also the pictures of the propert are not an accurate description of the property. The pool will hold about 4 adults and the restaurant does not serve food as described.

The 250.00 deposit is not mentioned on Hotels. Com

front desk staff was fantastic and very helpful, but the hotel itself was in terrible condition. our room stunk of raw sewage, and we were able to be temporarily moved to another, but upon turning the shower on the same smell appeared and the shower drain was clogged. the layout of the hotel was very deceptive, it has a beautiful front lobby, but once you go to the rooms it turns into a motel 6. the walls are paper thin and all rooms face inward to a parking garage. very odd hotel to say the least.

PROS: Very nice professional friendky staff. Clean and tidy modern hotel near beach. Cool 4th floor dinig overlooking bay and city. Pool and easy access. Upgrades in rooms. Nice walk in shower. CONS: Easy to hear loud people in hall. Fridge was super noisy. Need better windows and outside doors. Expensive to park all night. High incidental charge.

This was a rather cheap hotel and this was an over pay by 10 fold. Walls were dirty door was dirty. Bed stiff as a board. Shampoo dispenser in bathroom was empty. Outside of the hotel is a nightmare. Dirty sidewalks smell of piss. Walking out of the hotel saw well over a dozen large cockroaches scattering by the sidewalk. Do not Go here.

Room shower clogged, deposit take outrageous. Elevator took days

This place went to hell and is now dated and dirty. The front desk people are nice but they’re a crew in charge of a sinking ship

Very nice boutique hotel. Staff was friendly the hotel was clean, bar was open late enough to grab a drink after the game and it’s 1 block up from the Little Italy strip with tons of restaurants and places to grab a drink. We walked to Petco park, it’s a pretty decent distance maybe 20-25 min walk, but doable to avoid paying an outrageous price for parking near the stadium.

Everything was so close

ok property

The Porto Vista is a decent place for a Little Italy get away. The service at the Rooftop was vey good. The hotel of many updates, such as paint, light fixtures (crooked ), general cleanliness. The room furniture has been updated in the last few years but the rooms also need some attention. The air conditioner in room 457 was horribly noisy and made odds sounds that woke us. The mattress desperately needs an update.

The hotel was nice, and staff was friendly. The air condition in our room didn't work and that was the only down fall.

Next to a warehouse or something that is consistently operating a forklift all you hear is beeping all day.

Staff was rude, very unwelcoming. Room was musty, and there was rust in the bathroom.
