Top Museum of Photographic Arts Hotel Reviews

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for two nights while visiting San Diego with our child, and our whole family really loved this hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, the location was very convenient, and having self-parking was a huge plus. We had a great stay and would definitely come back next time we’re in San Diego!"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"We had a suite which was clean and neat. Issues were promptly repaired. The room had a strange configuration with frosted glass doors for the shower and toilet areas that could be seen from sitting area...thus lacking privacy. We had one drink at the bar but did not otherwise eat or drink at the hotel. Convenient to Gaslamp restaurants and activities."
