The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"staff was great, location was great. they do not have breakfast or on site parking (expensive valet is only option other than parking blocks away)."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and stuff was nice"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"The view was great! We upgraded to the higher floor package and were on the top floor facing the bay. The hotel was convenient to everything we did and wanted to do. The room was a bit dated and worn and the price for parking was a little bit steep. Lizle was a FANTASTIC front desk host. She was warm and inviting from the start to finish of our stay. You have a jewel of an employee with her."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful historic hotel! Absolutely loved the atmosphere and my room faced the city which was lovely. I do wish the elevators were wider but that can't be helped."
