Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Ash&9th

10/10 Excellent

"The manager Mark A was extremely impressive and went above and beyond to accommodate me and my delicate situation. I was impressed and he took my safety and security seriously and I felt relieved and in capable hands when he checked me in"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"The property is in an amazing location. The rooms are nice and clean. The amenities are super lacking. There’s not a whole lot to do there. There is one bar that doesn’t open until 4 PM. There is one store, but it’s not a traditional hotel gift shop it. It’s more geared towards hard rock merchandise and doesn’t have all of the necessities you might need. The pool is not impressive at all. And it’s $75 a day to park a car even if you are already paying for your room. The location makes it worth it because it’s walking distance to so many other things. But I have stayed at other hard rock locations that have way more amenities."

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a beautiful hotel! Super comfortable, with amenities no other hotel room has provided in my experience! It was like a mini apartment it had utensils, bowls, plates, cups, and even a little dish soap to wash! The only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is because it was super hot and unfortunately you can’t control the temperature in the room so it was a bit uncomfortable, but if they kept the rooms at a cooler temperature this would be a 5/5 hotel!"

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

8/10 Good

"The hotel is great, very close to Little Italy, the staff was amazing, and the hotel is across the street from a nice dog park. The only issue we had was the parking. We drove a large SUV and the ramps in the garage and spaces were very small. Parking was VERY challenging."
