In our reviews we always like to give it to you like it is.  The truth, and nothing but the truth!  Convenience and luxury all in one place when you come to the Westin San Diego.  There are 25 floors of guest rooms feature panoramic views of the San Diego Bay, Coronado Island, and the downtown cityscape. Convenient to business and shopping, and the location is within walking distance of the San Diego Convention Center, Seaport Village, Little Italy, the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, and a variety of shopping options. What we love is that the major attractions are close by, such as the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Old Town, Balboa Park and Museums, the USS Midway, and the breathtaking scenery of San Diego’s stunning sandy beaches.

Our review of the Westin San Diego hotel is a must stay. If you like traveling in class but don’t want to go broke, this hotel is a must. The rooms themselves are not the largest however the bed is the most comfortable that we’ve ever slept in and we travel a lot. It’s always nice to go to a place where they know how to add value. We received a 15% discount at “The Coffee Bar” upon arriving at the Westin San Diego. We got a free water because we are a rewards club member.  Today’s Westin San Diego hotel review is the first of many reviews we will be doing on the Westin chain as we can’t say enough about their impeccable service and ambiance.

NOTICE:  There are two Westins in San Diego.  This is the Westin by Little Italy, address 400 W Broadway in San Diego.  The other Westin is in the GasLamp District.

YES!  The beds are truly heavenly and we feel like we are home.  It is walking distance to Little Italy where we had an amazing dinner with the family at Mimmo’s

Here is our true review of the room in our amateur video.  Remember, we always tell you what the others won’t, so you can experience what the others don’t!  Travel blogging true ‘dat!

As we were looking around for restaurants we noticed that four blocks away is Little Italy in San Diego and so we wanted to find one of the best Italian Restaurants.  What a difficult choice!  So many menus, so many beautiful restaurants, so much charisma in this Little Italy town in San Diego!

After carefully looking at various menus and locations all throughout Little Italy in San Diego, we decided to experience what some said was one of the best Italian Restaurants: Mimmo’s.  Located at 1743 India Street in San Diego California 92101, it is a charismatic restaurant decorated in typical Italian decor.

As a matter of fact, for a moment we forgot we were in San Diego and thought we were in Rome!  Mimmo’s offers a wine bar and a beautiful scenery while you dine.  The restaurant looked like it might have been very expensive from the outside but we were pleasantly surprised that the price was very accommodating for a family of five.  As a matter of fact, our total amount for five people was $101.00.  No wine included, sorry folks, tonight was not a drinking wine night as we have to wake up at 5:30 am to get ready for the Marine’s Graduation!

Prices on the Mimmo’s menu were great!  Some of the examples are:  some very big subs were only $9.00 dollars for a very large portion.  Salads were extra large.  I ordered a Greek Salad and it was only $7.00 for a full size.  The bread was not the best part of the menu but the risotto that came with the salmon was to die for.  We loved the atmosphere as it was very quaint and although casual nice, you still felt like you were transported into a different part of the world…at least for a minute.  Until the waiter came back to tell you that he didn’t really know what was included in the soup lol.

The service was a bit slow and the waiter was not as knowledgeable but he made up for his lack of knowledge with a smile and a good heart.  He was definitely not Italian.  But it was still a great experience.

$101.00 dollars later our family of five left content, full and with a half chicken parmigiana in a box.  Dave my husband was not impressed with the chicken parmigiana, but the whole experience was great overall.  We give this restaurant a 6-7.
