Top Balboa Theatre Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very nice comfortable modern hotel. The lobby has an outdoor open air feel. The bar is well stocked and the staff are knowledgeable. The bedroom is modern, clean and spacious, has a wooden floor instead of old carpet, it has a sofa and chair, and a large comfortable bed. The bathroom is clean. The hotel staff are very helpful and patient. There are many coffee shops, bars, and restaurants around the hotel. Balboa park, SS Midway museum, Little Italy are all about 20 mins walk from the hotel."

The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, perfect for solo travelers, families, or business trips. The property was clean, the staff was helpful, and room service was excellent. The hotel overlooks a local park and is within walking distance of everything. Public transportation is close too"

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Keating was a wonderful experience! The staff is very friendly, and the hotel was well taken care of. The only thing I would recommend against is renting a car as parking around the Keating is ridiculously expensive. The Gaslamp Quarter is fun and a great atmosphere to be in. You can spend an entire week just exploring around the hotel and probably not see everything. All in all the whole trip was a great getaway for my wife and I!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, central located to walking activities. It's nice to have a view of the bay but not nice to look onto the dirty roof tops of the buildings in front of us. That I do not know if they can do anything about. On a nicer note we spoke with a lovely lady about different eating places we could walk to, she even gave up a coupon to eat at a few that were in front of the hotel, down the water front."
