Room D at The Dutra Inn - Little Italy
“This is the room that all the locals book. I couldn’t figure out why, so one day I decided to ask a guest. ‘I’ve walked past here a million times, and I just had to see what was behind these doors,’ he replied, as if it were obvious.” Our 20 ft., 100-year-old naval train station doors do seem like have a story to tell. Salvaged and repurposed here in our only street-level loft, they bring in the light and life of downtown San Diego. IG: @the.dutra
