Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"I loved it from the moment I arrived till I left. They always treat you like a rockstar here. I love the text options for the concierge, I had a phone charger delivered to my door in under 2 minutes of asking for one. The pool and spa are clean and great, always playing cool tunes. Can’t wait to stay here again - the comfy beds are killer."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Hotel doesn't offer breakfast. $34 for resort fees, they said because of the pool. We didn't go to the pool. Hotel is outdated, they said it is being remodeled, but room was OK for one night. It's across the street from the cruise terminal, so it's convenient, no shuttle or Uber needed. It was pricey because it's right in front of terminal"

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was a little dark. The only light was from the fan. I feel that a little table between the beds would be great. There should be some light in the kitchenette area. We were only provided an extra roll of toilet paper when I checked in. Should probably provide at least two rolls. Other than these items I enjoyed my stay and would recommend others to stay as well."

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Only few things: 1. Put comp. hot chocolate. 2. The mag locks di not secure easily. Which could make a security issue. 3.AC was super noisy could use bushings. Breakfast should be told that it is specific items before you purchase.the upgrade. Staff awesome. Parking ok. Room clean. Caulking around the toilet sperated and dried. Overall great Location And Stay."

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"I stayed 4 nights and would book here again. The central downtown location is very convenient to local attractions. I felt very safe with the card key system and the restricted access parking under the building. I had a lovely view from my sliding door to balcony room, a rarity in newer hotels. The breakfast was really tasty and fresh which is one of the important features to me when I choose a hotel. I didn't rate with 5 stars only because the 1960s building, while well maintained, is showing its age such as the Las Vegas carpet in the hallways and the rooms could be a little more spacious. But overall, I enjoyed my stay here."
