Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a nice hotel and what a great location!!"

Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The room and pool was clean, staff were friendly, and it was the perfect location for where we needed to be at a reasonable price. The things that could have made our stay even better are a more comfortable mattress, complimentary water, kids being prevented from monopolizing the waffle makers, and extra toilet paper in the room; none of these things prevented us from giving a five-star rating, as the rest was great. We did not have a vehicle this time, but were shocked to see guest parking was $40 per day; I’m sure this made some people unhappy. Something else to consider. The snacks were kind of pricey, too; just know people have options, so we bought at the local store…if reasonably priced, we would have bought at the hotel…just for your consideration. Thank you for a great stay!"

Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our two-day stay. We were a bit disappointed to learn that the "included breakfast" was actually a $50 credit for both of us, which, at the hotel's prices, covered only two coffees, one juice, and a single breakfast entrée to share. To be fair, the portion was generous and enough for both of us, but we would have appreciated a wider selection. We were also a bit concerned that the room rate was higher than the price quoted when we booked, especially since the hotel was already holding a $150 security deposit. It would have been nice if the room charge had simply matched the booking price, with the security deposit covering any additional charges. In the end, though, the total cost came out exactly as we had expected."
