I had a great stay overall, with the hotel's fantastic location near Little Italy and comfortable beds being major highlights. The service was attentive, especially from staff like Nico, who quickly addressed any issues I had. However, I did find the lack of a writing desk in my room a downside, as I was there for business. Additionally, requesting quieter rooms is advisable due to potential noise from the nearby freeway.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Found Hotel San Diego. The charm of the 19th-century mansion was good and added character to my experience. yet the room I stayed in had some quirks, particularly its size and lighting. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Greg, who went out of his way to ensure I had a good time. Overall, the location was great and offered easy access to Little Italy, though the lack of parking and some maintenance issues left a bit to be desired.

The room was cozy but quite small, lacking adequate lighting and showing signs of wear. Notably, the bed felt more like two twins pushed together instead of a proper queen, which was a bit uncomfortable.

While the hotel had charming common areas and a nice patio, the lack of parking and some maintenance issues detracted from the overall experience. It was nice to have the option to use a kitchen area as well.

I had a mixed experience at Found Hotel San Diego. The location near Little Italy is fantastic, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially Nico, who promptly addressed my room issues. However, noise from the surrounding area was a significant downside, especially at night, which affected my sleep quality. I'd suggest asking for a room away from the main street for a quieter stay.
