This is my second time at the Dextro and I loved it even more. From Aria at the front desk to the staff upstairs being so friendly, I always enjoy staying at the Dextro. As a major Little Italy fan, I love walking to it. It’s easy to get a ride as well due to its proximity to the highway. And a beautiful view after sunset. Don’t let it confuse you though, you can’t really hear the city noise. Definitely making it my to go place next time in San Diego! Thank you Dextro!

It would be nice if trash cans in room were emptied daily and clean towels were provided daily. Also, invest in a ventilation system for the bathroom. At other Best Western hotels breakfast and parking are free, but not here. Despite this, comfortable beds and ample parking. And I am a BW member, but purchased through a 3rd party but was never asked by a staff member.
