Nothing else available, took a chance on this. If you want to return to the 40s and 50s, this is the place for you since it hasn't changed since then. Musty smell, pillows hard, shared bathroom, the deck chair collapsed, and the price was way too high for the value received. Yes, the location makes it close to good dining... More

My room had a full bath and private garden deck. A variety of rooms are available. A full breakfast is served and there's an outdoor pool. The B &... More

My recent trip to San Diego to visit my great- nephew was a delightful experience. My sister and I stayed with Carole and her son Michael, the cook. Their home is charming and the hospitality rivals any grandmother's best. They both went out of their way to accommodate us and our quirky, late hours, they helped us secure parking, left... More

My partner and I had a lovely time staying at this quaint house on the East side of Balboa Park. I was concerned that it might be to far from the beaten path, but it turned out to be the perfect spot to catch the bus and go all over town. We didn't have to rent a car and only... More

Charming and comfortable, Carole's B&B Inn is convenient to public transportation for getting around San Diego. Carole's gracious hospitality and Michael's fantastic, home-cooked breakfasts add to the appeal. We stayed a week, visiting the local spots they recommended in the area, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. More

We really love our city and when guests get to stay a week they really get to see and experience a bit more than the short term stay guests, so we're always happy to get to extend our help in finding things to do and see :) More

Three days in San Diego and we chose to stay at Caroles Bed & Breakfast.The amenities were by far the nicest we have ever experienced from any other inn. The Casita is an Oasis, separate from the main house. Secluded with its own private entrance and patio garden.... More

So fun to see you enjoyed your little "Oasis". We try and have a nice courtyard in hopes people will see it as another little entrance to their accomodation :) Glad to see you enjoyed your stay in La Casita and hope to see you back in San Diego soon enough. More

I've been to many B&B's and this one is ranked high. Not fancy, but very comfortable and delicious home cooked breakfasts. Carole and her family run the property and go out their way to make you feel at home. If you like to be in one of San Diego's fun neighborhoods, this is a great central location with parking. Very...

We always try to keep a warm and cozy atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. I will definitely tell my Uncle Michael how much you enjoyed the breakfasts, "to die for" is the best compliment you can bestow upon someones cooking :) Glad you enjoyed your stay and our city. More
